BUSINESS SETUP & COMMERCIAL ASSETS

Open a store in China—and build the assets behind it.

DESIGNED FOR
  • Foreign founders planning a customer-facing business in China
  • International brands preparing a flagship store, showroom, office or local operation
  • Overseas businesses that need one coordinated China setup roadmap

Opening a store in China is more than finding a location. Solo Bridge helps foreign founders and brands coordinate the company, licenses, tax structure, property, digital channels and operating assets that make the business ready to launch and grow.

WHAT SOLO BRIDGE CAN COORDINATE

A connected scope built around the real operating model.

The final scope depends on the industry, eligibility, location, platforms and the responsibilities the business can operate.
01

Entry and entity roadmap

Translate the business model into an initial company, ownership, operating and launch sequence for review with qualified local specialists.

02

Registration and licensing coordination

Coordinate company-registration, business-scope, permit and license workstreams with the appropriate professional and government-facing providers.

03

Tax and operating structure

Connect the planned revenue, staffing, banking, invoicing and reporting model with qualified accounting and tax support.

04

Property and store setup

Support location requirements, property search, commercial evaluation, lease coordination and the handoff into design, fit-out and operational preparation.

05

China commercial assets

Build or coordinate the brand, Chinese name, platform accounts, local content, customer-service channels, commerce touchpoints and launch system that the business will operate.

Solo Bridge is not a law firm, accounting firm or government authority. Regulated legal, tax, registration and licensing work is handled or reviewed by appropriately qualified providers where required.

QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU START

Yes. Solo Bridge can help define location requirements, coordinate property search and support the commercial handoff. Legal, technical and lease due diligence should be completed by the appropriate qualified specialists before commitment.
