Understanding the
Role of an EOR: Pre-Opening
An Employer of Record (EOR) is a third-party service provider that legally employs staff on behalf of a client company. The EOR assumes all administrative, legal, and compliance responsibilities for the employees, allowing businesses to focus on strategic priorities.
Company registration in China – EOR plays a KEY role. An EOR gives your business’:
1. Pre-Opening Team
2. Manages Payroll
3. Manages Social Insurance and compliance
4. Legal Compliance Responsibilities (statutory)
EOR is a local team?
YES
Compliance is key for streamlined China market entry. HROne EOR service provides a local team during the pre-registration phase, as it is critical to handle tasks promptly. In many cases, this local team comprises industry advisors, legal professionals, and company registration experts.
With EOR services, the provider manages all administrative, legal, and compliance responsibilities associated with employment. This includes tasks such as employee onboarding and off-boarding, payroll processing, employee tax filings, and managing benefits.
While the EOR acts as the legal employer, the client focuses on operational management.
Step-by-Step Process: EOR for Pre-Opening
The following process highlights how HROne, a leading EOR service provider in China, facilitates the pre-opening phase for businesses.
1. Candidate Selection & Compensation
The client selects and confirms candidates for the pre-opening team. This includes finalizing their compensation packages, job roles, and responsibilities. A well-defined team is crucial for handling the groundwork required for setting up a Chinese entity.
2. Service Agreement between Client & EOR
The client and HROne enter into a service agreement that outlines the scope of services, responsibilities and payment terms. This agreement serves as the foundation for the EOR’s legal and administrative management of the pre-opening team.
3. Employment Contract with Candidates
HROne signs employment contracts with the selected candidates, officially employing them under the EOR agreement. This makes the candidates employees of HROne for the duration of the pre-opening phase.

5. Support for Company Registration Process
The EOR employees, under the client’s direction, handle critical tasks required for setting up the Chinese entity. These tasks often include liaising with local government authorities, opening bank accounts, and submitting registration documents.
6. Seamless Employee Transition
Once the client’s Chinese entity is officially established, HROne facilitates the transfer of the EOR employee3s to the client’s entity. This ensures that the pre-opening team becomes the first employees of the newly registered company, maintaining operation continuity.
7. Termination of the EOR Agreement
Upon successful transfer of the employees, the client terminates the services agreement with HROne. The client assumes full employer responsibilities, and the EOR’s role concludes.

Case Study: A Tech-Firm's Successful China Market Entry with EOR
A European tech-company sought to establish a presence in China to support its growing customer base in Asia. The company faced many challenges navigating the complex regulatory landscape and managing administrative tasks during the pre-opening phase.
The company found HROne, and engaged with HROne as its EOR. HROne, through the EOR agreement, employed the pre-opening team tasked with managing company registration processes. HROne handled all payroll, social insurance, and tax obligations – ensuring full compliance with all Chinese laws.
Within 6 months, the Chinese entity was officially registered, and the pre-opening team was seamlessly transitioned to the company’s entity. This allowed the tech-firm to fully focus on its core business activities without delays or compliance risks.
