The Complete Virtual Office (VO) Guide
For foreign entrepreneurs entering China, establishing a physical presence traditionally demands significant upfront investment – legal entity setup, office leases, and staffing often exceed €50,000 before operations even begin. At iQubator, we solve this barrier with our Virtual Office (VO), a proven low-risk gateway to the Chinese market since 2010.
What Is iQubator’s Virtual Office?
A strategic solution enabling you to:
✅ Operate legally without a registered entity
✅ Access premium Shanghai infrastructure at 5% of traditional costs
✅ Validate market demand before major investment
