A company leader in Guangdong Province expressed renewed confidence in expanding operations after finally securing a property certificate, a move that resolves years of ownership and financing hurdles.
This success story exemplifies Huazhou's targeted efforts to overcome documentation challenges. The business environment is a city's calling card and its core competitive edge in attracting investment. This year, Huazhou City has leveraged its five key strengths—strategic location, robust transportation, solid platforms, rich resources, and premium services—to build its "Five-Optimized Huazhou, Worry-Free Investment" brand. By advancing the "efficient completion of one thing" reform, the city has implemented proactive, coordinated, and department-linked services to resolve enterprise bottlenecks, fostering a pro-business atmosphere and reinforcing corporate confidence in long-term growth.
Property rights certification is vital for legal operation, project expansion, and financing, yet it remains a persistent pain point impeding enterprise transformation. Guangdong Shengkang Supply Chain Co., Ltd. (GSK), a long-standing local company with a growing brand reputation, faced obstacles in obtaining its certificate due to historical land-use issues, which hindered its expansion and upgrade plans.
In response, the city's top leadership took immediate action, orchestrating a collaborative inter-departmental mechanism through meticulous "motherly service." A dedicated task force was established to break down administrative silos, shifting from "enterprise seeking help" to "government delivering service." By conducting on-site visits, identifying root causes, and tackling each hurdle, the team provided one-on-one guidance, full-process assistance, and streamlined approval procedures. These efforts not only shortened timelines but also removed long-standing barriers, enabling smoother business operations and laying a solid foundation for future investment.
On the evening of September 10, 2026, a modest yet significant certificate presentation ceremony was held at GSK's factory in Nansheng Subdistrict, marking the tangible results of the municipal government's dedicated support. Company head Huang Zigao lauded Huazhou's proactive problem-solving, describing the policies as heartwarming and services as sincere, which has solidified his commitment to deepen local investments. He outlined plans for increased capital injection, expanded production capacity, and a broader industrial footprint to boost market competitiveness and contribute to the region's real economy.
The progress made by Guangdong Shengkang is a microcosm of Huazhou's broader efforts to enhance its business climate. Similarly, Guangdong Guozhou Traditional Chinese Medicine Co., Ltd. faced delays in putting a new production workshop into service after design changes during construction postponed planning approvals and property registration. Addressing this urgent need, city leaders coordinated multiple entities—including natural resources, housing, urban management, fire safety, and Tongqing Town—to clarify procedures and responsibilities. Through seamless cooperation, the town completed all document submissions on September 3, and the Natural Resources Bureau issued planning approval and the property certificate by September 4, successfully clearing the final hurdle for the project's launch.
This rapid resolution underscores Huazhou's service-first philosophy, which has solidified the company's resolve to grow locally. Following the permit approval, Guangdong Guozhou has expedited the procurement of a new production line, including dryers, crushers, and slicing machines, targeting operational status within a month. The company also plans to expand to over six production lines, aiming for significant growth.
A superior business environment serves as the finest investment invitation. In the second quarter of 2026 provincial market access efficiency assessment, Huazhou ranked 17th among 122 counties and cities in Guangdong, and 2nd in Maoming, placing it firmly in the top tier of county-level regions. This continuous optimization is attracting new investments and bolstering the "Five-Optimized Huazhou, Worry-Free Investment" initiative. From January to June this year, industrial investment in Huazhou's industrial parks surged by 1779.3% year-on-year, underscoring a vibrant city ready to welcome entrepreneurs from across the globe.
