Q&A Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Can I register a company in Beijing without a physical office address?
A: Yes. You can use a regular centralized office address, business incubator address or a compliant address provided by a professional agency to register. These addresses have been recorded in the industrial and commercial records and can be used to obtain a business license and pass the annual inspection, which is legal and valid.
Q2: Is the higher the registered capital the better? Do I still need to make paid-up contributions?
A: Currently, the subscription system is in place and there is no need to pay the full amount in one lump sum at the time of incorporation. The registered capital should match the company's size and actual business needs, not the higher the better. Excessive registered capital will bring unnecessary risk of shareholder liability.
Q3: Does the entire registration process require the physical presence of the legal person or shareholders?
A: Basically, it is not necessary. The entire process can be handled online through the "Beijing Enterprise Service e-Window Platform", and only real-name authentication needs to be completed online. Only in the final stage of opening a public bank account, a legal representative is usually required to visit a bank branch in person.
