📑

Compliance, accounting and tax

Year 1 maintenance is included with every formation. From year 2: bookkeeping, audit, tax filings, secretary work, payroll, and offshore exemption when revenue triggers it. We don't hand you off to a junior accountant.

Why USG

How we are different

Most providers hand you a certificate and leave the banking to you. We stay until the business works.

Other providers
USG
Either refuse founders from high-barrier countries, or take the registration fee and leave banking as "your problem"
We faced barriers too – our founder is Russian. When we talk about the barriers you face, we know exactly what that means.
One or two preferred banks. If those say no, the service ends
50+ banks & platforms mapped. We pick by your business profile, goals, limitations, and geography – and always have backups.
Incorporation as a checkbox. No real China operations expertise and business experience
We run our own trade and consulting businesses in China, Hong Kong, and Singapore. We tell you what we tried and what's smart.
Can't participate in your business or solve problems
Our network includes enterprises, banks, industry experts, associations, universities, and officials – all kinds of resources you need for doing business in China, Hong Kong, and Singapore.
A junior account manager following a standard playbook
A team of experts in real operations, led by Roman Verzin: 10+ years in project management across China, Hong Kong, CIS, and South-East Asia.

Roman Verzin · Founder

USG was built out of necessity by partners who run their own businesses across China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Central and South-East Asia.

After 2022, every bank I went to said no – not because our business was problematic, but because of where I'm from. Every corporate service provider told us the same thing: "Opening an account for someone like you is impossible. Figure it out yourself."

We found that almost all providers serve clients who need standard setup – Western passports, straightforward corporate histories. Real business is rarely that simple, and our clients have none of that. That's exactly why we exist.

We solved our own problems first. Now we help founders facing the same barriers.

🏦 Banking rebuild

LatAm trader: from three refusals to two open accounts

European-passport founders in LatAm-connected minerals trade. Their Hong Kong account was closed and three later bank applications were refused. We consolidated ownership, moved the registered address to a clean provider and rebuilt the application from scratch – two banks moved them to onboarding.

🏢 Formation + banking

Electronics importer: a Hong Kong trade layer above Chinese suppliers

An importer needed a Hong Kong entity above their Chinese suppliers; the real obstacle was the payment geography rather than the company. Hong Kong company in five days, multi-currency banking via a UK-backed fintech plus a Chinese cross-border account – rails that pass audits and compliance reviews.

🛡 Protected setup

A Central Asian industrial group's China expansion

A state-linked industrial group expanded into China for direct equipment procurement, replacing a distributor channel that carried several intermediary margins. A roughly three-year engagement covering the subsidiary, multi-account banking, audit, treasury and government touchpoints. Landed cost cut by about 18% – several million USD a year in savings.

🧊 Account freeze

Trading company: operating balance frozen on a payment platform

A payment platform froze a trading company's full working balance with no real explanation – the trigger was a connected customer, not anything the company had done. We rebuilt the source-of-funds history and filed with the UK Financial Ombudsman; the money came back in full the day after the complaint landed.

🇨🇳 China WFOE relocation

Beauty distributor: relocating into China to keep European buyers

A distributor sourcing in Guangdong was losing European buyers wary of his home jurisdiction and bleeding margin to payment intermediaries. We opened a WFOE where his supply chain already sat; the buyer relationships held, and the company repaid its setup cost on VAT refunds alone in year two.

📋 Audit + offshore exemption

A contractor filed the company at a loss instead of offshore

A prior China-based contractor had booked the Hong Kong company at a loss instead of claiming the offshore exemption it qualified for. We moved the company onto our own infrastructure and, the next year, filed a proper offshore-exemption claim built on real substance.
