1. What is a Joint Venture's Registered Address?

A Joint Venture’s registered address, apparently, is the address registered in government departments for a Joint Venture to operate its business. The registered address of a Joint Venture is registered in the Licenses/Certificates and articles of a Joint Venture. In certain circumstances, government departments would contact a Joint Venture by the registered address of the Joint Venture if the departments deem it necessary. However, they usually contact the entrepreneurs by telephone. So, entrepreneurs can either register Joint Ventures in their real office, or register the Joint Venture in our development park with the virtual address.
