Separate entry status, work permission, residence and business formation before treating them as one problem.
Q3 2026 edition · Downloadable PDF
A practical decision system for foreign solo founders considering how to live, work and build a long-term base in and around Beijing.

What you are buying
The manual organizes the questions, dependencies and reality checks that matter before a foreign solo founder commits time or money to a Beijing landing. It combines public-source research with first-hand field observation around Beijing.
It is independent informational material, not legal, tax, immigration, investment, employment or property advice.
Five decisions
Separate entry status, work permission, residence and business formation before treating them as one problem.
Use five practical gates to ask whether a solo-founder structure fits your purpose, timing and evidence.
Turn arrival into a sequence of registrations, accounts, local checks and decisions instead of a vague relocation list.
Look beyond rent: compare access, heating, internet, registration, transport and the human infrastructure around you.
Adapt bilingual checklists and message templates when contacting landlords, operators and local service providers.
