Your Questions, Answered

Your quotation should separate the licence and authority fees from workspace, visa, and service costs. Ask us for the included items, exclusions, and renewal estimate before proceeding.

A mainland licence needs to reflect how and where your business will operate. We review the activity, ownership arrangements, premises, and any additional approvals, then help organise the formation process and the responsibilities that follow.

We start with your activity and business plan, then explain the licence, workspace, visa, and renewal requirements. Your consultant helps prepare the application and keeps the outstanding actions clear.
