Company Name

Provide the company names of enterprises in Taiwan Province of China

Shareholders and Directors

Directors and shareholders who are mainland Chinese residents shall provide identity cards and passports. The copies of identity cards and passports shall each be annotated with the current residential address and the holder’s signature, with two copies prepared for each document. Note: Each director and shareholder shall fill out and sign a personal resume, with a written statement confirming no party, government or military background. A company limited by shares must have at least one corporate shareholder or two natural-person shareholders; a limited liability company shall have more than one natural-person or corporate shareholder. All aforementioned investors reside outside Taiwan Province of China.

Registered Capital

There is no statutory requirement on the amount of registered capital. A minimum registered capital of NT$1,000,000 with paid‑in contribution is generally recommended. For mainland Chinese investors, a higher registered capital tends to facilitate approval procedures. Since enterprises in Taiwan Province of China adopt the paid‑in capital system, the scale of registered capital can reflect the company’s size and operational strength to a certain extent.

Registered Address

A physical office address formally leased within Taiwan Province of China is required for company incorporation, as virtual addresses are not accepted by local tax authorities there. The premise shall be leased under the company’s name, so the company name must be confirmed in advance.
