We can provide full coverage incorporation service for our foreign base clients in the following three phases:

Phase II entails the application process, including on-going communications with approval authorities in obtaining the necessary documents and licenses from such authorities.

Collection Service
Our China legal network covers the whole country. We offer a full range of commercial debt collection and recovery services in China nationwide. Our collection specialists are experienced in recovering delinquent accounts in the shortest time possible.
The timely receipt of payment for products sold or services rendered is a critical element of any successful business. Since our fees in connection with non-litigation debt collection and recovery work are contingent upon the amount of recovered debt, you can be assured of quick and efficient results in debt recovery on your delinquent accounts.
For non-litigation collections, we work on a contingency basis only. Our fees are only charged against the gross amount of monies recovered on your behalf. That means, we do not get paid unless you get paid. Our fees vary depending on a number of factors, including amount, age and volume of debt and location of debtor.
We will normally accept an engagement for collection services and initiate the non-litigation collection procedures immediately upon receipt of (1) relevant debtor information (address, telephone, email, fax, contacting person, etc.); (2) outstanding invoice to be settled by debtor; (3) signed contingency agreement with us; and, (4) signed appointment letter. Additional documents may be required depending on the complexity and progress of the collection project. We will have no authority to settle any debt for less than the full amount owing, except under your express permission.
Our local attorneys can bring lawsuits in local jurisdictions for collection at our discretion.
In the event litigation is needed in order to collect a debt, we will notify you immediately and provide you with a written proposal for your approval prior to initiating a legal proceeding and continuing the collection process. Should you wish not to pursue a lawsuit, we will discontinue the collection service and you will not be obligated to pay any fees to us.
