Questions you
may have first.

Certainly. This is one of the services we provide most often. You can use the Jurisdiction Compass for an initial indication or book a consultation. We will assess your business, shareholder background, fund flows, and banking preferences and provide written jurisdiction-selection advice. The consultation is free.

Yes, if PRC residents complete required filings (e.g., ODI filing, Circular 37 registration) and report taxes truthfully, overseas company formation is a lawful arrangement. Compliance comes first. We flag all PRC and offshore procedures required in our proposal.

Before engagement, we provide an itemised quotation showing government fees, registered-agent fees, our service fees, and optional items. We will also disclose annual costs after incorporation, such as annual compliance and tax filing, in advance. We do not use low headline prices and then add charges later.

All official documents, such as certificates of incorporation, are issued by the competent local authority and can be verified through official channels. Offshore Isle undertakes that the registration documents it delivers are genuine and valid. If any such document is false, we will pay double compensation.

Annual compliance, renewals, tax filings and economic substance may be required depending on the jurisdiction. We maintain a compliance calendar for each client company, remind ahead of time, and handle the filings to keep the company in good standing.

For most jurisdictions, incorporation can be handled entirely remotely: documents are submitted online and anything that needs a signature is couriered or signed electronically, so shareholders and directors do not need to travel. Some banks require a director to attend a video or in-person interview, and some steps need notarised documents. Your advisor states in the plan whether attendance is needed and how it is arranged.

Typically: passport or ID for each shareholder and director, with a recent proof of address; two or three proposed company names; a short description of the business and the main countries you deal with; and the shareholding structure (with incorporation documents if a shareholder is a company). Bank accounts and some jurisdictions also ask for a source-of-funds explanation, contracts or invoices. Your advisor gives you an itemised list for the jurisdiction you choose.

It depends on the jurisdiction. Once your documents are complete, common choices such as Hong Kong, Singapore and the BVI are usually incorporated within two weeks; cases needing notarisation, local directors or licences take longer. Bank accounts take additional time, typically several weeks depending on the bank's review. Each jurisdiction page shows a reference timeline, and your advisor gives you a specific schedule in the plan.
