About
A Solo Broker on Your Side of the Wall

How partner firms are selected
Every partner is engaged on a per-filing basis. Mike sees their work before recommending them, holds the relationship contractually, and replaces them if they stop responding mid-engagement. This has happened twice in three years — both replacements happened at no extra cost to the client.

Frequently asked questions
Are you a licensed Chinese accountant or lawyer?
No. Mike is a foreign-founder broker. Every filing requiring a licensed PRC professional is executed by a named Chinese partner firm. You get the foreign-founder perspective on your side, plus licensed Chinese execution on theirs.
What if your partner firm vanishes?
Mike holds the relationship. If a partner stops responding mid-engagement, Mike re-routes to a backup firm in the same city at no extra fee, and the partner is removed from the directory. This has happened twice in three years.
Why solo and not a team?
Founders under $5M ARR don't need a team — they need one person who actually reads their emails. Mike runs the broker layer himself. Partner firms scale on their side.
How do I know you're not just reselling a partner's prices with a markup?
You can see partner pricing on every service page. Mike's brokerage fee is itemized separately. No hidden markup.
Who actually does the work?
A named partner firm in Shanghai, Shenzhen, or Beijing executes the filing. Mike brokers the engagement, holds the timeline, and intervenes if the partner stalls. You can see partner names on each service page.
How long does this typically take?
It depends on the filing and the city. Each service page publishes a realistic end-to-end timeline with both best-case and worst-case ranges. We never quote 'fastest possible' to win an engagement.
What if my filing is rejected?
Rejection is common on first submission. The brokerage fee covers one resubmission cycle. If a rejection is the partner firm's error, the partner re-files at no extra charge.
Do you charge a retainer?
No. Every service has a quoted per-filing or per-month price. You pay only for what you commission.
