🚨 DON'T REGISTER A COMPANY UNTIL YOU KNOW WHY.

Every year, entrepreneurs register companies in the wrong jurisdictions—or add another entity to an existing structure—without first identifying the problem they’re trying to solve.

Then the bills arrive: renewals, registered addresses, accounting, audits, tax filings, banking and compliance. Suddenly, the “solution” is costing more than the problem.

Before registering another company, ask:

❓ What specific business problem will it solve?
💰 How much is that problem costing us?
📊 What is the full setup AND annual maintenance cost?
🔎 Could we achieve the same result without a new company?

Here’s the principle: A business solution must create more value than it costs—whether through profit, savings, access to markets or reduced risk. If the economics don’t work, find a better solution.

At JR & Firm, we offer PAID professional consultations to assess your current situation, identify the real obstacles and recommend workable solutions.

Sometimes the answer is a new company. Sometimes it’s restructuring, fixing an operational issue or simply keeping your existing structure.

✅ IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM FIRST. REGISTER ONLY IF IT MAKES BUSINESS SENSE.

🇨🇳 CHINA WORK PERMIT: CAN YOU WORK FOR OTHER COMPANIES?

⚠️ Having a Chinese work permit does NOT mean you can work for any company in China!

This is one of the most common misunderstandings among foreign professionals and entrepreneurs living in China.

📌 HERE'S HOW IT WORKS:

✅ Your Chinese work permit is generally tied to a specific sponsoring employer, approved position, and work location.

❌ You cannot automatically use that permit to work for another Chinese company, take a second job, or provide paid services to other businesses.

❌ Even if your original employer agrees, that permission alone does not automatically make the additional employment legal.

🔄 WHAT IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE EMPLOYERS?

You must complete the applicable work permit change or new application procedures before starting employment with the new company.

💡 ARE THERE EXCEPTIONS?

Certain specially approved arrangements may be possible, including some short-term work permits covering multiple employers. However, these require the appropriate authorization — they are not automatic rights.

⚠️ WHY DOES THIS MATTER?

Unauthorized employment can result in fines, immigration complications, and potentially the loss of your right to work or reside in China.

🇨🇳 CAN YOU REGISTER A COMPANY IN CHINA REMOTELY? 🌏

✅ YES! You can start the registration process without visiting China. But there’s an important distinction between registering your company and opening its corporate bank account.

📄 STEP 1: COMPANY REGISTRATION

To register a Wholly Foreign-Owned Enterprise (WFOE) remotely, you’ll generally need:

✅ A notarized passport copy with an apostille, if your country participates in the Apostille Convention.

✅ Otherwise, a passport copy properly authenticated/legalized through the Chinese embassy or consulate.

✅ If the shareholder is an existing foreign company, its relevant corporate documents must also be provided and appropriately authenticated.

Our team at JR & Firm can handle the registration procedures in China once the required documents are ready.

🏦 STEP 2: CORPORATE BANK ACCOUNT

⚠️ This is where things get different!

In almost all cases, the company's legal representative will need to visit China in person for corporate bank account opening.

💻 Some banks occasionally allow remote verification through video calls, but this is an exception, NOT a guaranteed option.

Bank policies change frequently, so we must verify the requirements with the specific bank before proceeding.

💡 BOTTOM LINE: You can register your China company remotely, but don't assume you can open its bank account without travelling to China!

🌍 WHERE SHOULD YOU REGISTER YOUR COMPANY TO SELL ON AMAZON? 📦

🇺🇸 USA, 🇭🇰 Hong Kong, 🇨🇳 Mainland China, 🇸🇬 Singapore — or 🇪🇺 Europe?

The best jurisdiction depends on where you sell, where you operate, how you source products, and your tax residency. You don’t necessarily need a company in the country where your Amazon customers live!

Here’s a quick comparison:

🇺🇸 US LLC — Popular with international e-commerce sellers targeting the US market.

🇭🇰 Hong Kong Limited — Useful for cross-border trading, China sourcing, and international payments.

🇨🇳 China WFOE — Better suited to substantial sourcing, manufacturing, or operations inside China.

🇸🇬 Singapore Pte. Ltd. — Strong option for an Asia-based international business.

🇪🇺 European company — Worth considering for significant EU operations and local distribution.

⚠️ Important: Company registration alone doesn’t determine your taxes. VAT, sales tax, Amazon FBA inventory, management location, and your personal tax residency can all affect your obligations.

JR & Firm helps entrepreneurs compare jurisdictions, register companies, arrange banking assistance, and maintain compliance.

Will your Hong Kong company pay tax in Hong Kong? 🇭🇰

The answer depends on how and where its profits are earned.

Hong Kong is a free port with:
✅ No VAT
✅ No withholding tax on dividends paid by Hong Kong companies

It also has corporate profits tax and salaries tax on employment income.

For company profits, the Inland Revenue Department (IRD) examines the actual profit-producing activities, including:

📍 Where contracts are negotiated and concluded
📍 Where services and business operations are performed
📍 What your staff do and where they do it
📍 Where relevant business decisions take place

These factors are assessed together. Having overseas customers—or simply calling your company “offshore”—doesn’t establish an exemption.

If the IRD accepts an offshore claim, the qualifying profits can fall outside Hong Kong profits tax. Special rules can apply to certain foreign-sourced income, particularly for multinational groups.

The key is to assess your actual business activities and support your position with evidence.

JR & Firm assists with Hong Kong incorporation, accounting and offshore profits claims.
