Tender work in Taiwan. Signed by you.

How filing works in Taiwan

The company presses submit. You do the rest. In Taiwan, e-bids are signed with the company's own certificate. You don't file on the portal: you do the registrations, certificates and attested documents in your own name, prepare the bid, and can guide the client through the submission.

Guided filing sessions are paid work too: you sit with the client’s signatory, file by file, until the receipt is saved. Nobody ever uses the client’s login or signature.
