About Us

A Guangzhou Team That Stays After the Licence Is Issued

We advise foreign founders on business setup, operations and ongoing compliance in China — with clear scope, honest boundaries and a team you can meet.

01 — Who We Are

Who We Are

Future Compass is a Guangzhou-based business setup and compliance team serving foreign founders, trading companies and overseas SMEs entering China. We are not a nationwide low-price registration platform, and we do not sell guaranteed visas or guaranteed bank accounts — because no one can honestly sell those. What we offer instead: local execution, written scope, and one team responsible from your first assessment through years of operation.

Kenny Lin

FOUNDER, FUTURE COMPASS

Helping foreign founders navigate business in China with greater clarity, confidence and local support.

Why I Built Future Compass

Over the years, I have worked across B2B consulting, business services, supply chains and cross-border projects. I realised that for many foreign founders, registering a company in China is often the easy part. The real challenges come afterwards — address, banking, tax, compliance, work permits and how to actually operate the business.

I founded Future Compass because foreign entrepreneurs need more than someone who can process paperwork. They need a local partner who understands what they are trying to build and can help them navigate what comes next.

My Approach to Business

I believe good business starts with clarity and grows through trust. We understand the business first, explain the options, costs and risks clearly, and help clients choose a practical path forward. Future Compass is built to be a long-term local partner — not simply a company registration agent.

“Foreign founders need more than someone who can register a company. They need someone who can help them understand what comes next.”

How We Work With Every Client

Every client engagement follows the same principles — regardless of company type, nationality or deal size.

01

Business-First Thinking

We understand your business model and goals before recommending a structure or service. Paperwork follows strategy.

02

Clear Scope & Costs

Every engagement starts with a written scope. Government fees, third-party costs and service fees are itemised separately — nothing is hidden.

03

Local Execution in Guangzhou

Our team is on the ground in Guangzhou. We attend bank appointments, liaise with authorities and follow up in person when it matters.

04

Long-Term Support

We do not hand over a licence and disappear. Clients stay with us for accounting, compliance, renewals and whatever comes next.
