Requirements for Business Premises in Taiwan

Registered Business Address Requirements in Taiwan

When registering a business in Taiwan, you need to provide a local business address, and the city or county must have approved this address for business use. A Post Office Box cannot be used as a registered business address.

A lease contract for the business premises is one of the important documents submitted when filing for incorporation.

Which Types of Premises Can Be Registered?

As long as the zoning is correct, a wide range of properties is permitted: premises in the city, suburbs or country; a modern luxury apartment or residential flat; a factory or warehouse. While ideal premises are sought, a short-term legal address can be registered in a business center.
