When starting a business in Taiwan, one of the first legal decisions entrepreneurs face is whether to establish a “company” or register as a “sole proprietorship”. Many entrepreneurs tend to confuse the two; however, under Taiwan’s dual regulatory framework governed by the Company Act and Business Registration Act, these entities differ fundamentally in terms of legal personality.
In Taiwan, every company is required to have a registered business at the time of incorporation, commonly referred to as the company’s registered office. Many people assume that the registered office is the same as the place where the company conducts business operations and opens for daily business activities.
Under Taiwan’s current regulations, foreign nationals are generally required to obtain a work permit before engaging in any employment in Taiwan. In other words, a work permit must be applied for and approved by the competent authority before a foreign national may lawfully work in Taiwan. As a general rule, employment is not permitted prior to the approval of the work permit.
As the global transition toward clean energy accelerates, Taiwan is also moving quickly to expand its renewable energy capacity. Offshore wind, hydrogen development and solar projects have attracted international developers and engineering firms to establish project teams and technical hubs locally.
