Post-certificate registrationsTax registration, invoicing enablement, and statutory benefit enrolment carried through as one checklist.
Incorporation itself is a milestone, not a finish line — a newly registered entity still needs tax registration, invoicing enablement, employer registration for statutory benefits, and functioning bank account access before it can actually operate, and each of those runs on its own separate filing with its own processing time.
Operational readiness reviewBanking, tax, and governance checked together before the entity is treated as ready to transact.
The gap between 'incorporated' and 'operational' is where a surprising number of new entities lose their first few months — a business that can be found on the companies register but cannot yet issue an invoice, pay an employee compliantly, or move money through its own bank account is not yet able to transact, whatever its certificate says.
Genuinely able to operateCarried past the companies register to a working, transacting entity, not left at the certificate.
We carry engagements through from incorporation to that operational readiness point — tax registration, invoicing enablement, statutory benefit enrolment, and a final readiness review across banking, tax, and governance together — so a new Hainan entity is genuinely able to function rather than merely existing on the companies register.

Our practice areas cover the whole life of a foreign-owned presence in Hainan — from the feasibility assessment made before anything is filed, through formation and licensing, payroll, tax and ongoing compliance, to the deregistration that closes an entity properly — alongside the Free Trade Port incentives that are the reason to be here rather than anywhere else in China. One engagement model means a single accountable team across all of them.
