💡 Pit avoidance advice

1. Look at the business of choosing a location, not just the subsidies:If your goods are mainly transferred in bonded warehouses and you are registered in Whampoa but keep your goods in Nansha, you will incur high inland transportation fees, which are not worth the cost.
   
2. Policies have an “expiration date”:Policies in each district are usually valid for 3-5 years (e.g., some of the policies in Whampoa will be valid until 2026-2027), so be sure to check the official website of each district's commerce bureau to make sure that the policies are still within the implementation period before registering.
   
3. Substantial operational requirements::Although the registration threshold is low, but want to get the “settlement award” or “rent subsidy”, usually require enterprises to have actual office staff, tax records and with statistical reporting, pure “shell companies” is difficult to get the subsequent large bonus. It is difficult for a pure "shell company" to get the subsequent large amount of red packets.
