Sales Office in China

A partner you can trust for opening a sales office in China - with in-country experts and 24/7 support

As China’s leading HR & Corporate Administration Specialist, Horizons supports foreign corporations to setup a Sales Office and deploy staff in China through Horizons.
Under the P.R. of China law, the Sales Office involves a foreign company renting a local address in China for business purposes, without having to register any legal entity.
All activities will continue to be invoiced/paid by the headquarter company abroad, while Horizons, as the official Employer of Record, is taking care of the office lease and the legal management/payroll of the China-based employee(s).
