How a relocation engagement runs
- 01
Needs Assessment
Review of the relocating executive's household — family size, schooling needs, timeline — to scope what the move actually requires.
- 02
Arrival Plan
A documented plan for housing, schooling, and banking, sequenced against the confirmed arrival date rather than assembled after the fact.
- 03
Settling-In Support
Lease negotiation, school placement, bank account access, and the household registrations a new arrival depends on, coordinated by one point of contact.
- 04
90-Day Review
A check-in at the close of the first ninety days to confirm every registration is complete and nothing was left outstanding after the initial push.
Housing Search and Lease Support
Curated residential introductions, bilingual lease review, and negotiation support in Haikou and Sanya.
Schooling and Education Placement
Introductions to international and bilingual schools, application support, and enrolment documentation.
Personal Banking Access
Account opening support for relocating executives, including documentation preparation and branch coordination.
Settling-In Services
Driver licensing conversion, healthcare registration, and household setup during the first ninety days.
Relocations fail quietly, and rarely for professional reasons. An executive whose family cannot find schooling, whose lease terms hide unpleasant surprises, or who cannot open a functioning bank account will not stay — regardless of how well the corporate structure was built.
Our soft-landing practice treats the personal logistics of relocation with the same rigour as a corporate engagement: a documented plan for housing, schooling, banking, and registrations, sequenced against your arrival date, with a single point of contact rather than a directory of vendors.
The first ninety days set the tone for the entire assignment. We stay engaged through that window — from airport arrival to the last registration — so the executive's attention can go to the business rather than to the move.

Our services
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.
