Anchored in Central Asia,
empowering Chinese brands
We take Chinese companies into Kazakhstan: ODI filing, company set-up, visas, accounting, tax and legal work. Our Shanghai and Almaty headquarters hand the project from one to the other, so a single firm is responsible from the filing in China to operating in Kazakhstan.

Credentials
We made the same move ourselves
Our company in Kazakhstan was set up by our Shanghai parent through the ODI procedure. The Enterprise Overseas Investment Certificate issued by the commerce authorities names both the Chinese investor and our Kazakh company.
Every step we handle for clients, from the filing in China to company registration, the bank account and work visas in Kazakhstan, we have been through ourselves.
