Cross-Border Corporate Structure跨境企业架构咨询 跨境企业架构咨询

Strategic entity design for multinational operations across the US–China–Hong Kong–Singapore corridors. 为美中港新跨境运营设计战略实体架构。

The Challenge企业面临的挑战企业面临的挑战

Expanding across Asia-Pacific jurisdictions means navigating vastly different legal systems, tax regimes, and regulatory environments. A suboptimal corporate structure can result in double taxation, repatriation difficulties, regulatory non-compliance, and unnecessary operational friction. 拓展亚太业务意味着需要应对截然不同的法律体系、税收制度和监管环境。不当的公司架构可能导致双重征税、利润回流困难、合规风险及不必要的运营阻力。

Whether you are a Chinese manufacturer entering the US market, a US technology firm establishing operations in Asia, or a multinational optimizing an existing structure—getting the architecture right from the start is critical. 无论您是进入美国市场的中国制造商、在亚洲设立运营的美国科技公司,还是优化现有架构的跨国企业—从一开始就建立正确的架构至关重要。

Our Approach我们的方法我们的方法

Frequently Asked Questions常见问题常见问题

Do Singapore or Hong Kong founders actually need a BVI or Cayman holding company before opening a Delaware C-Corp?新加坡或香港创始人在开设 Delaware C-Corp 之前真的需要 BVI 或开曼控股公司吗?

Not always. A single Singapore Pte Ltd or Hong Kong Limited parent can hold a Delaware C-Corp directly and still deliver clean capital-flow and exit optics for most early-stage cross-border founders. BVI or Cayman layers make sense when the group anticipates multi-jurisdictional investor rounds, later US IPO optionality, or needs to separate IP ownership from operating risk.并非总是需要。对多数早期跨境创始人来说,单层新加坡 Pte Ltd 或香港 Limited 直接控股 Delaware C-Corp 足以支撑资金流转和退出架构。BVI/开曼层通常只有在预期多法域融资、未来美股 IPO、或需要将 IP 与运营风险隔离时才有意义。

Is a Hong Kong Limited a good intermediate holding between a China operating company and a US Delaware C-Corp?香港 Limited 适合作为中国运营公司与美国 Delaware C-Corp 之间的中间控股吗?

Yes — the China–Hong Kong double tax arrangement offers a 5% withholding rate on dividends (vs. 10% otherwise) and FSIE regime flexibility for passive income, making HK a common tier between a WFOE and an offshore parent. The trade-off is growing economic substance and beneficial ownership scrutiny, which we design around during setup.是的。中港安排下股息预提税可降至 5%(一般 10%),加上 FSIE 下被动收入的灵活性,使 HK 成为 WFOE 与离岸母公司之间的常见一层。代价是经济实质与受益所有人审查在收紧,设立时需一并规划。

Do I need to file China ODI with MOFCOM/SAFE before incorporating my US C-Corp?设立美国 C-Corp 之前一定要先做 MOFCOM/SAFE 境外投资(ODI)备案吗?

If the ultimate source of capital is a China-resident individual or PRC entity, yes — ODI pre-approval or filing is normally required before the foreign entity is funded. Setting up the offshore shell first without ODI can create capital-contribution and foreign-exchange issues downstream. We coordinate ODI sequencing with entity formation.若出资最终来源是中国居民个人或中国境内实体,一般须先完成 ODI 核准或备案,再向境外实体注资。先设壳后办 ODI 往往在出资与外汇环节出问题。我们会把 ODI 节奏与主体搭建协同安排。

What is the minimum paid-up capital for a Singapore Pte Ltd holding company, and does it affect banking?新加坡 Pte Ltd 控股公司最低实缴资本是多少?会影响开户吗?

Statutory minimum is SGD 1, but banks typically expect meaningful paid-up capital (often SGD 10,000–50,000+) alongside substance evidence — director, lease, local service provider — before account approval. For 13O/13U family office structures the bar is materially higher. We plan capitalization alongside banking onboarding rather than sequentially.法定最低 1 新币,但银行通常期待较有意义的实缴(常见 1–5 万新币以上)并搭配本地实质(董事、租约、服务商)才会放行开户。13O/13U 家办架构门槛更高。我们将实缴规划与开户流程并行设计,而非先后进行。

How long does it take to set up a full three-tier SG → HK → Delaware structure end-to-end?搭建完整的新加坡 → 香港 → Delaware 三层架构通常需要多久?

Entity formation itself runs 1–3 weeks per jurisdiction, but end-to-end readiness — meaning bank accounts opened, EINs issued, ODI filed if China-sourced capital, intercompany agreements executed and transfer pricing documented — typically lands at 8–14 weeks. The constraint is usually banking KYC and ODI, not company registration.单个法域的主体设立约 1–3 周;但要做到端到端可运营(开户完成、EIN 下发、中国出资已完成 ODI、关联协议与转让定价落地),整体通常 8–14 周。瓶颈一般在银行 KYC 和 ODI,而非注册本身。
