Our Story:
During the initial stages of investment, the client faced various challenges and pressures due to a lack of overseas investment experience. These challenges included understanding the local business culture, ensuring tax law compliance, and identifying suitable industrial sites for projects.

Recognizing that the establishment of the Czech subsidiary marked the client's first venture abroad, the China Desk, in collaboration with local experts and relevant third-party potential partners, organized several specialized meetings and conducted on-site inspections to assist the client during the initial investment phase. This initiative provided the client with a comprehensive range of solutions for the project in the Czech Republic, encompassing company registration, tax compliance, site selection, identification of local partners, successful acquisition of government investment subsidies, procurement of chemical industrial sites, and securing environmental and construction permits — a one-stop solution for the client's initial investment needs.

Furthermore, ongoing support was extended for the project's subsequent operational phases, including project management, business expansion, logistics coordination, daily financial and tax reporting, and ongoing legal compliance consultations. The high-quality and professional services provided by the China Desk received high praise and recognition from the client. Subsequently, as the client's presence in overseas markets expanded and mutual trust deepened, we collaborated with local Moore firms and facilitated the resolution of additional service requests, including tax consultations for the client's U.S. subsidiary, preliminary research and liaison efforts for ventures in Africa and South America, tax advisory services in Germany, company establishment in the Netherlands, and continued project management support.
