Singapore, Hong Kong, China and Southeast Asia: setting up in Asia
Choosing the right gateway, and protecting what makes your value.
Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, China: we choose the gateway and the structure with you, set up your subsidiaries, protect your brand and your know-how, and secure your manufacturing, supply and distribution contracts. We do not simply refer you to a correspondent: we come on site with you and work alongside our local correspondents, who advise on local law. A single point of contact, on both sides of the border.
What you need to know
Singapore or Hong Kong for an Asian holding company?
Both offer attractive taxation, English-tradition business law and recognised arbitration centres. The choice depends above all on the target markets (mainland China or Southeast Asia), the applicable tax treaties and the substance you can establish there.
Can you own 100% of a company in Thailand or Vietnam?
Not always. In Thailand, the Foreign Business Act reserves many activities for Thai-majority companies, unless an exemption applies, in particular through Board of Investment promotion. In Vietnam, the foreign investor first obtains an investment registration certificate, then registers the company; some sectors remain subject to conditions.
How do you protect your trademark in China?
By filing it early, in China itself. China applies the first-to-file principle: whoever registers the trademark first in principle becomes its owner, even if they did not create it. For manufacturing, non-disclosure, non-use and non-circumvention agreements adapted to Chinese law complete the protection.
