Incubation Solutions

A more cost-effective and lower risk way to establish your presence in China without your own entity — The Incubation Solution (IBS) offers a smarter, faster approach. Traditional methods (Wholly Foreign-Owned Enterprise (WFOE), Representative Office)—such as establishing a corporation, hiring local talent, and navigating complex regulations—can be time-consuming, costly, and may not align with your business objectives. With IBS, your company can be present in China without the administrative burdens, allowing you to focus on strategic growth and market expansion.
