How this service works
Certain mainland activities still require a local service agent or a corporate nominee arrangement, and without a properly documented side agreement, that requirement can leave the actual business owner with less operational control than they should have.
We arrange vetted local service agent and nominee arrangements and document them with protective side agreements that clearly define operational control and limit the sponsor's role to what the law actually requires.
Founders operating an activity that legally requires a local service agent, and companies reviewing an existing sponsor arrangement they inherited, both use this service.
How the file moves
- We confirm the objective, list the documents required and quote government and service fees in writing.
- Your consultant prepares, types and submits the file, then follows it through each approval stage.
- You receive the outcome document, a copy for your records and a reminder before any renewal falls due.
Why clients use this desk
Free zone comparison, not a default
We compare relevant free zones against your activity and cost profile instead of routing every client to the same package.
Renewals never lapse
Trade licence renewal reminders and document collection are scheduled well ahead of the expiry date.
Protected sponsor arrangements
Local service agent and nominee arrangements are documented with side agreements that protect your operational control.
Frequently asked questions
Does a local sponsor have a say in daily operations?
Not under a properly documented arrangement. We draft side agreements that limit the sponsor's role to the legal minimum and protect your operational control over daily decisions.
Can an existing sponsor arrangement be renegotiated?
Yes, existing arrangements can be reviewed and, where needed, restructured with updated side agreements, though this depends on the willingness of the current sponsor to cooperate.
