Is Your Taiwan Business Partner Legitimate or Just a Digital Mirage?
Expanding your business into the Taiwan market presents immense potential, but it also comes with high stakes. Relying on an English website or a scanned business license provided by the partner is no longer enough. In a landscape where “Paper Companies” and complex corporate structures exist, how do you verify the real financial health and legal standing of your Taiwan partner?
The barriers to true transparency are real:
The “Timeline” Confusion: Taiwan uses the Minguo calendar (e.g., Year 114 instead of 2025) in official records. Misinterpreting dates can lead to critical errors in assessing a company’s history or the validity of its licenses.
Language & Script Barriers: Official registry data is maintained in Traditional Chinese. Automated translations often fail to accurately capture complex legal statuses, shareholding structures, or “Charges/Encumbrances” (pledged assets).
Bureaucratic Hurdles: Accessing the Department of Commerce (MOEA) registry systems requires local digital certificates and a deep understanding of Taiwanese corporate law. For an overseas entity, this process is often slow, frustrating, and prone to administrative deadlocks.
Our Positioning: ChinaBizInsight acts as your “Loyal Pathfinder” in the Taiwan market. We eliminate the guesswork by diving deep into the official Business Intelligence Database. We don’t just fetch documents; we decode the data, translate the complexity, and deliver the clarity you need to mitigate risk. Know the truth before you sign.

Frequently Asked Questions: Navigating Taiwan Business Records
Q: What is the "Unified Business Number" (BAN) in Taiwan?
A: The Unified Business Number (BAN), or Business Administration Number (統一編號), is a unique 8-digit identifier assigned to every company registered in Taiwan. Unlike company names, which can be similar or change over time, the BAN remains constant. It is the most critical piece of information for verifying a Taiwan business and is used for tax filings, official contracts, and searching the government’s Department of Commerce database.
Q: How do I read the dates on a Taiwan Company Report? (The Minguo Calendar)
A: One of the most common challenges in Taiwan due diligence is the calendar system. Official records in Taiwan use the Minguo calendar, which counts years starting from 1912. For example, the year “114” on a report corresponds to 2025 in the Gregorian calendar (114 + 1911 = 2025). ChinaBizInsight automatically converts these dates in our English reports to ensure seamless integration into your international compliance records.
Q: Can I verify a Taiwan company’s "Paid-in Capital" versus "Authorized Capital"?
A: Yes. The Taiwan Company Business Information Report provides a clear distinction between the two. Authorized Capital is the maximum amount of stock the company can issue, while Paid-in Capital (實收資本額) represents the actual funds contributed by shareholders. Verifying the Paid-in Capital is essential for assessing a partner’s financial substance and avoiding “shell companies.”
Q: Are official Taiwan registry documents available in English?
A: No. The official registry maintained by the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) is exclusively in Traditional Chinese. While some companies may provide their own English translations, they are often unverified. ChinaBizInsight fills this gap by providing professional, certified English translations of the official data, ensuring you have an accurate and legally-robust China-Taiwan company report.
Q: How can I use Taiwan company documents for international legal or banking use?
A: If you need the documents for use outside of Taiwan—such as for court evidence, bank account openings, or setting up a subsidiary—they must be legalized. Since Taiwan is not a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, documents usually require a “Chain of Authentication,” which includes notarization and Consular Authentication. ChinaBizInsight provides end-to-end support for these complex legalization processes to ensure your documents are recognized globally.
Q: Is it possible to see a list of a Taiwan company's Directors and Supervisors?
A: Absolutely. Our reports include a comprehensive list of the Board of Directors and Supervisors (董監事名單), showing their names, titles, and the amount of capital they represent. This is crucial for KYC (Know Your Customer) and identifying the individuals who have the legal authority to represent the company.
Secure Your Strategy with Verified Taiwan Intelligence
Success Stories (Mini-Case Study):
The M&A Safeguard: A European technology firm was considering an acquisition in Taiwan. Using our Taiwan Business Information Report, we identified that the target company’s “Paid-in Capital” was significantly lower than claimed in their pitch deck, and discovered a recent change in the “Board of Directors” that had not been disclosed. This allowed our client to renegotiate terms and avoid a high-risk investment.
Legal Compliance: A US-based law firm required authenticated documents for a commercial dispute involving a Taipei-registered entity. ChinaBizInsight not only retrieved the records but also managed the complex Consular Authentication process, delivering court-admissible evidence ahead of the hearing deadline.
