Guangzhou · licensed local company

Your Guangzhou desk for company setup, Xiaohongshu, and work permits

We help overseas brands set up a Guangzhou company, run Xiaohongshu and Douyin in Chinese, open WeChat after the license, and file work permits for real employees. You keep the company and the accounts. We work in writing.

Who this is for

Beauty, food, travel, education, and DTC brands that want Chinese customers but cannot run Guangzhou paperwork or Chinese apps themselves.

You keep everything

The company, Xiaohongshu, Douyin, and WeChat stay in your name. We operate with written authorization.

Questions

Do I need a China company before Xiaohongshu?

Usually no. Overseas brands can apply for a Xiaohongshu professional account with foreign company papers. You need a Guangzhou entity for some ad accounts, WeChat Work, and work visas.

Can you register a Guangzhou company if I live abroad?

Yes. We coordinate setup, a park registered address, and bookkeeping. Notarization in your country, chops, and bank extras are at cost. Guangzhou authorities decide approval dates.

Can I get a work visa without a company?

No. China work permits need a licensed employer. We form the Guangzhou company first, then file the permit for someone it actually employs.
