Frequently Asked Questions
What is a unified business number?▾
The unified business number (統一編號) is an 8-digit identifier assigned to every Taiwanese business. It's used for all tax, commercial, and government interactions.
Why is Taiwan important for technology?▾
Taiwan dominates global semiconductor manufacturing. TSMC alone produces over 50% of the world's advanced chips. Other major companies include Foxconn, MediaTek, ASUS, and Acer.
How do I search Taiwanese companies?▾
GCIS (gcis.nat.gov.tw) provides free company search in Chinese and English. You can search by company name, unified business number, or representative name.
Can foreign companies register in Taiwan?▾
Yes. Foreign companies can establish branch offices, subsidiary companies, or representative offices. A Company Limited by Shares is the most common form for foreign investment, with no minimum capital requirement for most industries.
How do I search for a company in Taiwan by name?▾
Use the available lookup or the linked official official Taiwan register service. Start with the legal name, then compare the exact registration number and available identity fields. Name matches are candidates; source coverage and partial-name support vary.
Is the Taiwan company register free to search?▾
Basic company lookup is free on LemReveal. The official Taiwan register has independent access rules and may require an account or charge for searches, extracts or particular documents. Check the source's current terms.
Can I search Taiwan companies by registration number?▾
Where the source supports it, use the exact registration number together with its register or jurisdiction. Preserve prefixes and leading zeros and compare the returned legal name. A number alone does not guarantee coverage or a successful lookup.
How do I check whether a company is registered in Taiwan?▾
Search the exact registration number or legal name above, then confirm the entity's identifier and source. An empty result can reflect coverage limits, a source outage, spelling or a different jurisdiction; it does not prove the business is unregistered. A fuzzy candidate is not a confirmed identity.
How can I tell if a Taiwan company is still active?▾
Read the status and effective date where the official Taiwan register supplies them. Active registration does not establish trading or financial health. Monitoring is available only for supported sources and confirmed records; verify the actual watch state.
