What's included
What is not included?
Depending on what you want to do with your company and how your company will operate, you may need extra licenses, registrations, and permits. For example, import/export license, customs registration, work permits and others. We can help you with these as well at a competitive fee.
I already have a Chinese company and don't need another one. Can I get a discount on the membership fee instead?
Instead of a discount, we prefer to give you an upgrade. This helps TroubleMaker stay sustainable which is good for both of us.

Founder’s Checklist: Still unsure whether Recruit or Rebel is right for you? Ask yourself these five questions.
If you answer “Yes” to even one, Rebel will likely save you time, money, and stress.
Are you new to Shenzhen’s hardware ecosystem?
If you’ve never worked with Chinese suppliers before, or your last project was years ago, you’ll face a steep learning curve. Rebel gives you trusted intros and expert backup so you don’t have to learn everything the hard way.
Do you need help beyond just tools?
If you’re thinking: “I can build the prototype, but who do I call for PCB layout?” or “How do I vet a mold maker?”, then you need more than lab access. Rebel’s Service Hours connect you to vetted engineers without hourly fees.
Is your product meant for real users (not just a demo)?
If you’re building something people will buy, use, or rely on, especially in health, sustainability, or daily life, you can’t afford manufacturing missteps. Rebel includes supply chain coaching and warm intros that de-risk scaling.
Will you be in Shenzhen for more than 6 weeks?
Even if you plan to travel in and out, Rebel lets you convert unused lab days into Service Hours. Recruit locks you into “use it or lose it”, which rarely matches real-world founder timelines.
Do you value your time more than you fear upfront cost?
A 3-month Rebel costs slightly more than three Recruit months, but it often saves thousands in avoided mistakes, faster iterations, and better supplier terms. If your goal is to ship, not just tinker, this is ROI, not expense.
One exception: If you’re a seasoned China veteran with trusted partners and just need a great workspace in Huaqiangbei, Recruit is perfect. But if any of the above resonate: Rebel is your shortcut.
