China Employer of Record : Hire & Launch in 48 Hours
Stop freezing capital in a WFOE before you make your first sale. Hire staff, run operations, and validate your business model in China—risk-free & fully compliant.
Launch your China pilot program with Asomerit’s compliant infrastructure.
Entering China used to require establishing a WFOE (Wholly Foreign-Owned Enterprise). That means months of paperwork, trapped capital, and complex bureaucracy—all before you even know if your product has product-market fit.
The Smartest Way to Enter China: No WFOE Required
Traditionally, entering the Chinese market required a massive leap of faith. International companies had to commit 3-6 months and significant capital to establish a Wholly Foreign-Owned Enterprise (WFOE) before they could hire a single employee or sign their first local client. This "all-or-nothing" approach is risky, slow, and unsuited for today’s agile business environment.
The Asomerit Market Tester (also known as EOR or PEO) offers a modern alternative. It allows you to bypass the administrative red tape and launch your China operations immediately. By using Asomerit as your legal employer of record, you can hire local talent, manage a team, and validate your product-market fit without the burden of a legal entity.
Think of it as your "Business-in-a-Box." We provide the compliant infrastructure; you provide the business strategy. If your pilot succeeds, we help you graduate to a WFOE. If the market isn't ready, you can exit cleanly without a complex liquidation process.
Unlike a WFOE registration which requires a physical office lease, bank account verification, and notarized documents from your home country, the Market Tester service is designed for speed and simplicity.

Frequently Asked Questions
You have Questions, and Asomerit has Answers. If we don't cover all your confusions, just let us know!
Absolutely. This is based on the "Employer of Record" (EOR) model, which is fully recognized under PRC Labor Law. We act as the legal employer of record while you retain direction over the employee's work.
You do. Our contracts include robust IP assignment clauses explicitly stating that all work produced by the employee belongs solely to your company, not Asomerit.
As a foreign entity, you cannot issue Fapiao directly. However, we advise clients on using cross-border payment solutions (like Alipay Global or Airwallex) or working with local agency partners to facilitate sales while you validate the market.
We manage the transition smoothly. We transfer the employment relationships from Local Entity to your new WFOE with zero downtime and no probation period reset for your staff.
What Our Clients Say
Founder & CTO (Nebula LLC)
James Hamilton
My company was successfully incorporated in Shenzhen in just 5 days and my China work visa was also approved much faster than expected. Asomerit's efficiency was impressive, and their professional attitude gave me complete peace of mind.
Owner (Gusto Restaurant)
Diego Martinez
We needed to secure a Food Operation License in Beijing and get a Work Visa for our head chef from Mexico City. Asomerit Consulting handled everything to open my Mexican restaurant. They helped review all my documents and navigated the chef's visa application flawlessly. We opened on time with our full team.
Owner (Bennett Marketing)
Chloe Bennett
Setting up in Yiwu was the right move for our supply chain, but selling to Ireland meant dealing with complex cross-border tax rules. Asomerit didn't just register the company; they guided us through the entire financial process—from setting up the corporate bank account to managing our invoices. Thanks to their expert advice on export tax rebates, we successfully claimed our VAT refunds, which added a solid 13% to our bottom line.
