China Company and Account 2026: LLC, FIE Company Registration

Registering a company in China as a WFOE for the IT and service industries is the best solution in 2026. China remains the primary market for procurement, production, and factory operations for many companies from Ukraine and Eastern Europe. A WFOE/LLC allows you to enter into local contracts, pay suppliers in CNY, maintain your own office, and control exports in your company's name. For international payments, you can also use bank accounts outside of China and European EMIs.

Businesses suited to this jurisdiction

A company in China can be used where its legal form, tax treatment, local presence and payment options match the real business activity. We compare the planned services or trade, countries of clients and suppliers, ownership model and annual operating cost before registration.

We first identify where the buyers and suppliers are located, which currencies the company will use, which assets it will own and who will actually manage it. We then compare this jurisdiction with alternatives by registration time, annual maintenance cost and account-opening options, and recommend a structure that is practical and cost-effective for your transactions.

Offshore legislation and corporate form

The corporate framework in China is based on the local company, accounting and tax rules. For an international owner, we focus on the practical points that affect registration, cross-border contracts, reporting, management and use of the company outside the owner’s country of residence.

New company or ready-made company

A ready-made company can be useful when an existing incorporation date and a faster start are important. Before transfer, we check its register status, corporate history, filings and available documents. A new company is registered with your chosen name, owners and business purpose.

Corporate offshore account and payment structure

For the corporate account, we review the activity, currencies, countries of counterparties, expected turnover and payment purpose. We compare a bank, European payment system / EMI or neobank and, where useful, a backup account. The application explains the client business profile and source of funds.

For payments, we first define the currencies, countries of incoming and outgoing payments, and typical payment purposes. We then select a bank, European payment system / EMI or neobank, corporate cards, local payment details and, where needed, a backup account. For e-commerce and services, we also consider merchant acquiring and a corporate USDT/USDC wallet when it is required for real company operations.

How we handle the registration

1. We define the objective. You describe the activity, owners, countries, currencies and expected turnover.
2. We define ownership and management. We select the company form, capital, management bodies, address and filing calendar.
3. We prepare the documents. We prepare KYC, incorporation documents, resolutions and powers of attorney.
4. We first confirm the company form, owners, management, activity and documents. We then prepare and file the incorporation set, coordinate the registered office and tax steps and, after registration, move to accounting and account opening according to the agreed project sequence.
5. We prepare the account opening. We prepare the client business profile, bank questionnaire, contracts, KYC/KYB and source of wealth / source of funds evidence.

What you receive

For the corporate account, we review the business activity, currencies, counterparties, expected turnover and payment purpose. We then compare a bank, European payment system / EMI or neobank and, where useful, a backup account.

After registration, we organise the annual corporate actions, accounting and required tax or information filings. For a bank or EMI, we keep the corporate documents and business information up to date so the company can sign contracts, receive revenue, pay expenses and distribute profit.
