A business tunnel between France and China

Double-Link helped Qnetic with the initial WOFE company set-up — opening a bank account and a tax account, setting up payroll, initially taking care of payments, and our monthly ledger. They have great relationships with the bank and the tax bureau, and seem able to solve every issue that arises, finding solutions even when one isn't already well known.

From the outset they have given personalised, friendly and candid advice, helping us understand what is important (and what can be ignored) about local policies and practices. They are knowledgeable about local labour and tax laws for foreigners, helped set up our remuneration packages, and even assisted with peripheral needs such as local grant funding and import/export rules. Their service scales easily with headcount, and they are always readily available and quick to answer.

We fully trust them personally and respect their professional opinion and advice — we recommend them to any WOFE starting up in Shanghai.

Geoffrey and Hélène are the founders of Double-Link. I have known them for several years, and when we created our company Qnetic in Shanghai, they were the first people I turned to for help setting up the company in China (WOFE).

Double-Link was essential in establishing our company in Shanghai. Their expertise allowed us to handle tax matters, payroll and even individual tax filings. During our first two years, they acted as our interface with our bank and the Chinese authorities. Their privileged relationship with local authorities inspires confidence, and they resolve emerging issues efficiently. We value their personalised, candid advice, their responsiveness, and their ability to handle every question relating to labour law in China.

The complete trust we place in Double-Link, both personally and professionally, makes them an invaluable partner for any company operating in China.

Geoffrey and his teams supported us for several years on the Chinese market. From our very first meeting with a client, where he acted as interpreter, through to the creation of our commercial subsidiary in Shanghai, we were always guided by experts with a perfect command of our culture.

They make sure our Chinese partners feel secure working with our company, for the sustainable development of our business.

Geoffrey helped me through his umbrella and activation structure in China and made it possible for me to launch my own photography business! Thanks to him I was able to change course and finally go freelance, with a caring, available and experienced partner for everything administrative — visas and the rest. I could focus on my craft and grow very quickly in China.

I will be forever grateful to him. Thank you Geoffrey and Hélène!
