TESTIMONIALS
FAQ
No! Smart Solutions handles all paperwork remotely via power of attorney. You’ll only need to visit if opening a corporate bank account (and even then, we partner with banks offering video verification).
We assign a dedicated compliance manager who monitors legal updates and proactively adjusts your strategy. You’ll receive quarterly audits + emergency alerts if action is needed (e.g., new e-commerce labeling rules in 2024).
Yes! We provide end-to-end HR solutions: drafting labor contracts, payroll setup, and even pre-vetted candidate referrals through our local network. Need foreign staff? We’ll secure work permits too.
We offer exit-strategy planning, including business valuation, legal transfer of shares, and tax optimization for sales. For LLCs, the process typically takes 6–8 weeks.
We use military-grade encryption for all document transfers and sign strict NDAs with every client. Your sensitive data (passport copies, contracts) is stored in GDPR-compliant servers and never shared with third parties without your consent.
Absolutely! Our team is fluent in English, Mandarin, and German. All contracts/communications are provided in your preferred language, and we’ll even accompany you to government meetings as interpreters if required.
