Questions
How much does it cost to set up and run a company in mainland China with OCTIS?
A service-type WFOE costs US$1,800 in Qianhai, Shenzhen or US$2,430 in Shanghai; bookkeeping with VAT, CIT and IIT filings starts at US$315 a month. The annual audit and a transfer from another provider are quoted.
Why are some China services quoted rather than priced?
We price every service at 10% below a fee another firm publishes. For China, no foreign-facing firm we checked publishes a transfer or audit fee, so we quote those rather than invent a benchmark.
Can I run the China company alongside a Hong Kong or Malaysian one?
Yes. The same OCTIS workspace holds every company you own, each with its own deadlines, documents and accounts.
