A U.S. citizen with an expiring Shanghai work permit obtained a China business license in under 3 weeks via expedited registration, with visa transfer prepared.
Last-Minute Decision to Start a Business in China? We Got the License in 3 Weeks
Client Background
A U.S. citizen holding a Shanghai work-type residence permit. His employment contract was approaching its end with no renewal planned. Unable to secure a new job offer in time, he made a last-minute decision to start his own business.
What We Found
His work permit was nearing expiration, leaving very little legal stay time. The company registration process hadn't even started yet. Plus, the decision to start a business was made on short notice. Even after obtaining the business license, he would still need to go through a visa category transfer — adding another layer of pressure on top of an already tight timeline.
What We Did
We hit the ground running.
We activated our expedited processing channel and coordinated with the industry and commerce bureau, tax authorities, and other relevant departments simultaneously. In less than three weeks, we successfully helped the client obtain his business license.
At the same time, we prepared the visa transfer strategy in advance — sorting out all the necessary invitation letters and application materials. This meant the moment the license was issued, we could seamlessly initiate the visa transfer process with zero downtime, ensuring his legal status remained intact throughout the transition.
The Result
The entire company registration process was completed efficiently and within a very tight timeframe. The client secured his legal business operation qualification quickly — and his visa transfer was already mapped out, giving him peace of mind moving forward.
The client gave high praise for our quick response and precise execution.
