20、L GROUP INC.2,500,000 Ordinary SharesThis is a firm commitment public offering of 2,500,000 Ordinary Shares of BaiyaInternational Group Inc.,an exempted company with limited liability incorporatedunder the laws of the Cayman Islands.Prior to this offering,there has been nopublic market for our Ordin
21、ary Shares.We anticipate that the initial public offeringprice of our shares will be between$4.00 and$6.00.We are an“emerging growth company”under applicable U.S.federal securities lawsand are eligible for reduced public company reporting requirements.We have submitted application to list our Ordina
22、ry Shares on the Nasdaq CapitalMarket under the symbol“BIYA”.We cannot guarantee that we will be successful inlisting our Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq;however,we will not complete thisoffering unless we are so listed.We may amend or supplement this prospectus from time to time by filing amendments
23、orsupplements as required.You should read this entire prospectus and any amendments orsupplements carefully before you make your investment decision.Investing in our Ordinary Shares involves a high degree of risk,includingthe risk of losing your entire investment.Before making any decision toinvest
24、in our Ordinary Shares,you should carefully consider theinformation disclosed under“Risk Factors”beginning on page 23 of thisprospectus.We are not a Chinese operating company,but an offshore holding company incorporatedin the Cayman Islands.As a holding company with no material operations of our own
25、,we conduct all of our operations in China through a variable interest entity,or“VIE”,Shenzhen Gongwuyuan Network Technology Co.,Ltd.(“Gongwuyuan”),and itssubsidiaries,or collectively,the“PRC operating entities.”We entered into aseries of agreements date December29,2021(the“Contractual Arrangements”
26、)withthe VIE and certain shareholders of Gongwuyuan,and this structure involves uniquerisks to investors.Neither we nor our subsidiaries own any equity interests in thePRC operating entities under the VIE structure.Unless specifically described otherwise,as used in this prospectus and in thecontext
27、of describing our consolidated financial information,the terms“we,”“us,”“our company,”“our”,and“Group”refer to Baiya International GroupInc.,a Cayman Islands holding company,its subsidiaries,the VIE and itssubsidiaries in China,as the context requires.This is an offering of the Ordinary Shares of th
28、e offshore holding company,Baiya,instead of shares of the VIE or any of the PRC operating entities;therefore,ourinvestors may never directly hold equity interests in the PRC operating entities.Youare not investing in the PRC operating entities.Neither we nor our subsidiaries ownany share or equity i
29、nterest in the PRC operating entities.Instead,we consolidatethe financial results of the VIE as a primary beneficiary through the ContractualArrangements between our wholly owned subsidiary entity,Shenzhen Pengze FutureTechnology Co.,Ltd.(“Pengze WFOE”),Gongwuyuan,the VIE,and certain shareholdersof
30、Gongwuyuan.We are utilizing the VIE structure because some of the VIEsbusinesses may be prohibited or restricted from direct foreign investment underChinese law.As a result of Baiyas indirect ownership in Pengze WFOE and theContractual Arrangements,we treat the VIE and the VIEs subsidiaries as ourco
31、nsolidated entities under U.S.GAAP,but we do not own equity interests in the VIEor its subsidiaries.We have consolidated the financial results of the VIE and theVIEs subsidiaries in our consolidated financial statements in accordance withU.S.GAAP.See“Corporate History and StructureContractual Arrang
32、ements amongPengze WFOE,Gongwuyuan,and the Shareholders of the VIE”starting on page 96 formore information.As we chose such VIE structure,we are subject to certain unique risks anduncertainties that may not otherwise exist if we had direct equity ownership in thePRC operating entities.Because we do
33、not directly hold equity interests in the VIEand its subsidiaries,our Contractual Arrangements may not be effective in providingcontrol over Gongwuyuan.Further,we are subject to risks due to uncertainty of theinterpretation and the application of the PRC laws and regulations,including Table of Conte
34、ntsbut not limited to limitations on foreign ownership and regulatory review of overseaslisting of PRC companies through a special purpose vehicle,and the validity andenforcement of the Contractual Arrangements.We are also subject to the risks ofuncertainty about any future actions of the PRC govern
35、ment in this regard that coulddisallow the VIE structure,which would likely result in a material change in ouroperations and/or cause the value of our Ordinary Shares to decrease significantly orbecome worthless.As of the date of this prospectus,the agreements under theContractual Arrangements have
36、not been tested in any court of law.For a descriptionof the VIE contractual arrangements,see“Corporate History andStructure Contractual Arrangements among Pengze WFOE,Gongwuyuan,and theShareholders of the VIE”starting on page 96 of this prospectus.See also“Risk Factors Risks relating to the VIE Stru
37、cture The PRCgovernment may find that the Contractual Arrangements with the VIE and itsshareholders to operate our business in China do not comply with applicable PRC Laws,or if these applicable PRC Laws or the interpretation of existing applicable PRC Lawschange in the future,we could be subject to
38、 severe penalties or be forced torelinquish our interests in those operations.Additionally,such determination by thePRC government and changes or interpretations in PRC Laws,if occurred,may causesignificant decline in the value of our shares,or even render our shares worthless;We rely on Contractual
39、 Arrangements with the VIE and certain shareholders of theVIE to consolidate financial results of the PRC operating entities.We do not have anequity ownership in,direct foreign investment in,or control of,through suchownership or investment,the VIE”on page 37 to 38 of this prospectus.We are subject
40、to certain legal and operational risks associated with the VIEoperations in China through the Contractual Arrangements.Additionally,PRC laws andregulations governing our current business operations are sometimes vague anduncertain,and therefore,these risks may result in a material change in ouropera
41、tions,significant depreciation of the value of our Ordinary Shares,or acomplete hindrance of our ability to offer or continue to offer our securities toinvestors and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or beworthless.The Chinese government may intervene or influence the opera
42、tions of thePRC operating entities at any time and may exert more control over offeringsconducted overseas and/or foreign investment in China-based issuers,which couldresult in a material change in the operations of the PRC operating entities and/orthe value of our Ordinary Shares.Further,any action
43、s by the Chinese government toexert more oversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and/orforeign investment in China-based issuers could significantly limit or completelyhinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and causethe value of such securit
44、ies to significantly decline or be worthless.Recent statements by the Chinese government have indicated an intent to exert moreoversight and control over offerings that are conducted overseas and/or foreigninvestments in China based issuers.Any future action by the Chinese governmentexpanding the ca
45、tegories of industries and companies whose foreign securitiesofferings are subject to government review could significantly limit or completelyhinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and couldcause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless
46、.Inaddition,recently,the PRC government initiated a series of regulatory actions andmade a number of public statements on the regulation of business operations in Chinawith little advance notice,including cracking down on illegal activities in thesecurities market,enhancing supervision over overseas
47、 listing of domesticenterprises,adopting new measures to extend the scope of cybersecurity reviews,andexpanding efforts in anti-monopoly enforcement.On December28,2021,the Measuresfor Cybersecurity Review(2021 version)was promulgated and became effective onFebruary 15,2022,which iterates that any on
48、line platform operators controllingpersonal information of more than one million users which seeks to list in a foreignstock exchange should be subject to cybersecurity review.On July 7,2022,theMeasures for the Security Assessment of Outbound Data Transfers,or the Measures,waspublished and became ef
49、fective on September 1,2022,which requires securityassessment of outbound data transfers in cases,among others,outbound transfer ofpersonal information by a critical information infrastructure operator or a personalinformation processor who has processed the personal information of more than onemill
50、ion people.On September 24,2024,the State Council promulgated the Regulationson the Network Data Security Management(the“Data Security ManagementRegulations”),which will become effective on January 1,2025.Pursuant to the DataSecurity Management Regulations,network data processing activities refer to
51、activities such as the collection,storage,use,processing,transmission,provision,disclosure,and deletion of data.Network data processors refer to individuals ororganizations that independently determine the purposes and methods of dataprocessing activities.Network data processors conducting any data
52、processingactivities that affect or may affect national security shall undergo nationalsecurity review in accordance with relevant national regulations.Where it is indeednecessary to transfer any important data collected and generated within the territoryof the PRC to an overseas party,the security
53、assessment of outbound data transferorganized by the national cyberspace administration department shall be passed.Wecurrently do not have over one million users personal information and do notanticipate that we will be collecting over one million users personal informationin the foreseeable future
54、and the PRC operating entities do Table of Contentsnot conduct any data processing activities that affect or may affect nationalsecurity.Further,the PRC operating entities business operations do not involveany critical information infrastructure,and neither we nor the PRC operatingentities have rece
55、ived any notification from applicable PRC governmental authoritiesindicating that any of the PRC operating entities products or services aredetermined as critical information infrastructure.In light of the above,our PRClegal counsel,Jingtian&Gongcheng,is of the view that we are not subject to thecyb
56、ersecurity review for this offering under the Measures for Cybersecurity Review(2021 version),the Measures or the Data Security Management Regulations.As of thedate of this prospectus,neither we nor the PRC operating entities have received anynotification from applicable PRC governmental authorities
57、 indicating that we or ourPRC operating entities shall file for a cybersecurity review.In addition,as of thedate of this prospectus,neither we nor our PRC operating entities have been subjectto any anti-monopoly investigation,penalty of litigation initiated by governmentauthorities or third parties.
58、Furthermore,we will continue to monitor for updates ofapplicable PRC anti-monopoly laws and regulations.Currently,these statements andregulatory actions have had no material impact on our daily business operations,theability to accept foreign investments and list our securities on a U.S.or otherfore
59、ign exchange.However,since these statements and regulatory actions are new,itis uncertain how soon legislative or administrative regulation making bodies willrespond and what existing or new laws or regulations or detailed implementations andinterpretations will be modified or promulgated,if any,and
60、 the potential impactsuch modified or new laws and regulations will have on our daily business operations,the ability to accept foreign investments and list our securities on a U.S.or otherforeign exchange.We cannot assure you that relevant PRC government agencies wouldreach the same conclusion as w
61、e do or as advised by our PRC legal counsel.If we aresubject to such a probe or if we are required to comply with stepped-up supervisoryrequirements,valuable time from our management and money may be expended incomplying and/or responding to the probe and requirements,thus diverting valuableresource
62、s and attention away from our operations.This may,in turn,negativelyimpact our operations.See also“Risk Factors Risks Relating to Doing Business inChina The recent state government interference into business activities on U.S.listed Chinese companies may negatively impact our existing and future ope
63、rations inChina.The Chinese government may intervene in or influence our operations at anytime,which could result in a material change in our operations and significantly andadversely impact the value of the Ordinary Shares,including potentially causing thevalue of the Ordinary Shares to decline or
64、be worthless;Uncertainties withrespect to the PRC legal system,including uncertainties regarding the enforcement oflaws,and sudden or unexpected changes of laws and regulations in China applicable tous could adversely affect us and limit the legal protections available to you and us;The PRC legal sy
65、stem is evolving,and the resulting uncertainties could adverselyaffect us;The approval of the China Securities Regulatory Commission or other PRCregulatory agencies may be required in connection with this registration under PRClaw.”On February 17,2023,the China Securities Regulation Commission(the“C
66、SRC”)issuedthe Trial Administrative Measures of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing byDomestic Companies(the“Trial Administrative Measures”)and relevant supportingguidelines(collectively,the“New Administrative Rules Regarding OverseasListings”),which became effective on March 31,2023.According
67、to the NewAdministrative Rules Regarding Overseas Listings,among other things,a domesticcompany in the PRC that seeks to offer and list securities in overseas markets shallfulfill the filing procedure with the CSRC.When a domestic company seeks to directlyoffer and list securities in overseas market
68、s,the issuer shall file with the CSRC.When a domestic company seeks to indirectly offer and list securities in overseasmarkets,the issuer shall designate a major domestic operating entity,which shall,as the domestic responsible entity,file with the CSRC.Initial public offerings orlistings in oversea
69、s markets shall be filed with the CSRC within 3 working days afterthe relevant application is submitted overseas.The required filing materials with the CSRC include(without limitation):(i)record-filing reports and related undertakings,(ii)compliance certificates,filing orapproval documents from the
70、primary regulators of applicants businesses(ifapplicable),(iii)security assessment opinions issued by related departments(ifapplicable),(iv)PRC legal opinions issued by domestic law firms(with relatedundertakings),and(v)prospectus or listing documents.In addition,under the New Administrative Rules R
71、egarding Overseas Listings,adomestic company is prohibited from overseas offering and listing if any of thefollowing circumstances is involved:(1)where such securities offering and listingis explicitly prohibited by provisions in laws,administrative regulations andrelevant state rules;(2)where the i
72、ntended securities offering and listing mayendanger national security as reviewed and determined by competent authorities underthe State Council in accordance with law;(3)where the domestic company intending tomake the securities offering and listing,or its controlling shareholders and theactual con
73、troller,have committed crimes such as corruption,bribery,embezzlement,misappropriation of property or undermining the order of the socialist market economyduring the latest three years;(4)where the domestic company intending to make thesecurities offering and listing is suspected of committing crime
74、s or major violationsof laws and regulations,and is under investigation according to law,and noconclusion has yet been made thereof;and(5)where there are material ownershipdisputes over equity held by the domestic Table of Contentscompanys controlling shareholder or by other shareholders that are co
75、ntrolled bythe controlling shareholder and/or actual controller.Moreover,a domestic companythat seeks to offer and list securities in overseas markets shall abide by certainother regulatory requirements as set out in the New Administrative Rules RegardingOverseas Listings,including without limitatio
76、n to,compliance with national secrecy,foreign investment,cybersecurity,data security,cross-border investment andfinancing,foreign exchange,and other laws and relevant provisions.Pursuant to theNew Administrative Rules Regarding Overseas Listings and the Notice on theArrangement for Filing-based Admi
77、nistration of Overseas Offering and Listing byDomestic Companies issued by the CSRC on February 17,2023,we have to file with theCSRC in accordance with the Trial Administrative Measures with respect to thisoffering before listing in the U.S.We completed such filing procedures on June 27,2024,the com
78、pletion of which was posted on the official website of the CSRC on June28,2024.However,we cannot assure you of whether there will be further regulatoryrequirements related to overseas securities offerings and other capital marketsactivities.Any failure on our part to fully comply with further regula
79、toryrequirements may significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer orcontinue to offer our Ordinary Shares.On February 24,2023,the CSRC promulgated the Provisions on StrengtheningConfidentiality and Archives Administration of Overseas Securities Offering andListing by Domestic Compan
80、ies(the“Confidentiality and Archives AdministrationProvisions”),which also became effective on March 31,2023.According to theConfidentiality and Archives Administration Provisions,domestic companies that seekoverseas offering and listing(either in direct or indirect means)and the securitiescompanies
81、 and securities service(either incorporated domestically or overseas)providers that undertake relevant businesses shall institute a sound confidentialityand archives administration system,and take necessary measures to fulfillconfidentiality and archives administration obligations.They shall not lea
82、k anystate secret or working secret of government agencies,or harm national security andpublic interests.Furthermore,a domestic company that provides accounting archivesor copies of accounting archives to any entities,including securities companies,securities service providers and overseas regulator
83、s and individuals,shall fulfilldue procedures in compliance with applicable regulations.Working papers produced inthe mainland China by securities companies and securities service providers in theprocess of undertaking businesses related to overseas offering and listing bydomestic companies shall be
84、 retained in mainland China.Where such documents need tobe transferred or transmitted to areas outside of mainland China,relevant approvalprocedures stipulated by regulations shall be followed.We believe that this offeringdoes not involve the leaking of any state secret or working secret of governme
85、ntagencies,or the harming of national security and public interests.However,we maybe required to perform additional procedures in connection with the provision ofaccounting archives.The specific requirements of the relevant procedures arecurrently unclear and we cannot be certain whether we will be
86、able to perform therelevant procedures.Any failure of us to fully comply with new regulatory requirements may significantlylimit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer our OrdinaryShares,cause significant disruption to our business operations,severely damage ourreputation,mat
87、erially and adversely affect our financial condition and results ofoperations and cause our Ordinary Shares to significantly decline in value or becomeworthless.According to our PRC legal counsel,Jingtian&Gongcheng,under current effectivePRC laws and regulations,apart from the filing procedure with
88、the CSRC under the NewAdministrative Rules Regarding Overseas Listings,we and the PRC operating entitiesare currently not required to obtain permission from any of the PRC authorities toissue the Ordinary Shares to foreign investors.In addition,apart from the filingprocedure with the CSRC under the
89、New Administrative Rules Regarding OverseasListings,we and the PRC operating entities are not required to obtain permission orapproval from the PRC authorities including CSRC or CAC to issue the Ordinary Sharesto foreign investors,nor have we,or the PRC operating entities,applied for orreceived any
90、denial for registration.With regards to the filing procedure with theCSRC under the New Administrative Rules Regarding Overseas Listings,we completedsuch filing procedures on June 27,2024,the completion of which was posted on theofficial website of the CSRC on June 28,2024.However,recently,the Gener
91、al Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Partyof China and the General Office of the State Council jointly issued the“Opinions onSeverely Cracking Down on Illegal Securities Activities According to Law,”or theOpinions,which was made available to the public on July 6,2021.The Opinionsempha
92、sized the need to strengthen the administration over illegal securitiesactivities,and the need to strengthen the supervision over overseas listings byChinese companies.Effective measures,such as promoting the construction of relevantregulatory systems will be taken to deal with the risks and inciden
93、ts of China-concept overseas listed companies,and cybersecurity and data privacy protectionrequirements and similar matters.Further,we are still subject to the uncertainty ofinterpretation and enforcement of the rules and regulations in the PRC,which canchange quickly with little advance notice,and
94、any future actions of the PRCauthorities.We cannot assure you that relevant PRC government agencies would reachthe same conclusion as we do or as advised by our PRC legal counsel.However,(i)ifwe inadvertently concluded that such permissions or approvals are not required,or(ii)if the CAC or other Tab
95、le of Contentsregulatory PRC agencies later promulgate new rules requiring that we obtain theirapprovals to issue the Ordinary Shares to foreign investors,and we are unable toobtain such approval in a timely manner or obtain a waiver of such approvalrequirements.In addition,any uncertainties and/or
96、negative publicity regarding suchan approval requirement could have a material adverse effect on the trading price ofour securities.See“Risk Factors Risks Relating to Doing Business in China”beginning on page 41 and“Risks Relating to the Offering,”beginning on page 59of this prospectus for a discuss
97、ion of these legal and operational risks andinformation that should be considered before making a decision to purchase ourOrdinary Shares.Our Ordinary Shares may be prohibited to trade on an U.S.exchange or“over-the-counter”markets under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act,as amended bythe
98、 Consolidated Appropriation Act,2023(the“HFCA Act”)if the Public CompanyAccounting Oversight Board(the“PCAOB”)is unable to inspect our auditors for twoconsecutive years.The Consolidated Appropriations Act,2023,was signed into law onDecember 29,2022,which amended the HFCA Act(i)to reduce the number o
99、f consecutiveyears that would trigger delisting from three years to two years,and(ii)so thatany foreign jurisdiction could be the reason why the PCAOB does not to have completeaccess to inspect or investigate a companys auditors.As it was originally enacted,the HFCA Act applied only if the PCAOBs in
100、ability to inspect or investigate becauseof a position taken by an authority in the foreign jurisdiction where the relevantpublic accounting firm is located.As a result of the Consolidated AppropriationsAct,2023,the HFCA Act now also applies if the PCAOBs inability to inspect orinvestigate the relev
101、ant accounting firm is due to a position taken by an authorityin any foreign jurisdiction.The denying jurisdiction does not need to be where theaccounting firm is located.Pursuant to the HFCA Act,the PCAOB issued a Determination Report on December16,2021,which found that the PCAOB is unable to inspe
102、ct or investigate completelyregistered public accounting firms headquartered in:(1)mainland China of the PRC,and(2)Hong Kong.In addition,the PCAOBs report identified the specificregistered public accounting firms which are subject to these determinations.OnAugust26,2022,the PCAOB signed a Statement
103、of Protocol with the China SecuritiesRegulatory Commission,or the CSRC,and the Ministry of Finance of the PRC,takingthe first step toward opening access for the PCAOB to inspect and investigateregistered public accounting firms headquartered in mainland China and HongKong.OnDecember 15,2022,the PCAO
104、B announced that it“was able to secure complete accessto inspect and investigate audit firms in the Peoples Republic of China(PRC)forthe first time in history,in 2022.Therefore,on December 15,2022,the PCAOB Boardvoted to vacate previous determinations to the contrary.”Notwithstanding theforegoing,un
105、certainties exist with respect to the implementation of these provisionsand there is no assurance that the PCAOB will be able to execute,in a timely manner,its future inspections and investigations in a manner that satisfies the Statement ofProtocol.Our former auditor,Friedman LLP(“Friedman”),the in
106、dependent registeredpublic accounting firm that issued the audit report included in this prospectus,asan auditor of companies that are traded publicly in the United States and a firmregistered with the PCAOB,was subject to laws in the United States pursuant to whichthe PCAOB conducts regular inspect
107、ions to assess Friedmans compliance withapplicable professional standards.Friedman was headquartered in Manhattan,NewYorkwith no branches or offices outside the United States and had been inspected by thePCAOB on a regular basis,with the last inspection in October 2020.Friedman LLP wasmerged with Ma
108、rcum LLP on September 1,2022 and filed its application to withdraw thePCAOB registration on December 30,2022.On February 21,2023,the Company engagedKreit&Chiu CPA LLP(“Kreit&Chiu”)as its independent registered publicaccounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31,2022.Our current auditors,Krei
109、t&Chiu,is located at New York,New York,and has been inspected by the PCAOB.The Company will not engage any independent public accounting firm headquartered inmainland China or Hong Kong or not subject to the PCAOBs inspections.In the eventthat,in the future,either there is any regulatory change or s
110、tep taken by PRCregulators that does not permit our auditor to provide audit documentations locatedin China or HongKong to the PCAOB for inspection or investigation or the PCAOBexpands the scope of the Determination so that we are subject to the HFCA Act,as thesame may be amended,you may be deprived
111、 of the benefits of such inspection whichcould result in limitation or restriction to our access to the U.S.capital marketsand trading of our securities,including trading on an U.S.national securitiesexchange and trading on“over-the-counter”markets,may be prohibited under the HFCAAct.See“Risk Factor
112、s Risks Relating to The Offering A recent jointstatement by the SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board(UnitedStates),or the“PCAOB,”proposed rule changes submitted by Nasdaq,and anact passed by the U.S.Senate all call for additional and more stringent criteria tobe applied to emerging
113、market companies upon assessing the qualification of theirauditors,especially the non-U.S.auditors who are not inspected by the PCAOB.Thesedevelopments could add uncertainties to our listing on Nasdaq in the future.”As of the date of this prospectus,no cash transfer or transfer of other assets haveo
114、ccurred between Baiya,its subsidiaries,and the consolidated VIE as well as thesubsidiaries of the VIE.As of the date of this prospectus,none of oursubsidiaries,consolidated VIE or the subsidiaries of the VIE have made any dividendsor distributions to Table of ContentsBaiya.As of the date of this pro
115、spectus,we do not have any U.S.investors,so nodividends or distributions have been made to any U.S.investors.We intend to keepany future earnings to re-invest in and finance the expansion of the business of thePRC operating entities,and we do not anticipate that any cash dividends will be paidin the
116、 foreseeable future.Currently,we,including our consolidated VIE and thesubsidiaries of the VIE,have not adopted or maintained any cash management policiesand procedures to govern cash transfer between Baiya,its subsidiaries,and theconsolidated VIE as well as the subsidiaries of the VIE,and each enti

160、oing Business in China”for more information.Neither we nor ourdirect and indirect subsidiaries own any equity interests in the PRC operatingentities.Gongwuyuan started to provide job matching services in 2017.In November 2019,Gongwuyuan began developing its cloud-based internet platform to provide o
161、ne-stopcrowdsourcing recruitment and SaaS-enabled HR solutions on the Gongwuyuan Platformto supplement its offline job matching services and started to position itself as aSasS-enabled HR technology company by introducing its Gongwuyuan Platform in theflexible employment marketplace.We have been and
162、 will continue to strategicallydevelop and improve the Gongwuyuan Platform with product features that worktogether with our traditional offline service model to improve the job matching andHR related services in the flexible employment marketplace.Currently our business focuses on four(4)primary ser
163、vices:(i)job matchingservices;(ii)entrusted recruitment services;(iii)project outsourcing services;and(iv)labor dispatching services in the flexible employment market within China,primarily in the core manufacturing regions including the Pearl River Delta andYangtze River Delta region.With respect t
164、o labor dispatching services,however,weare strategically reducing this service,considering the negative gross profithistorically.Gongwuyuan plans to pursue its business growth by continuing tosupplement its existing offline service model by introducing and integrating itsGongwuyuan Platform to provi
165、de better services in the flexible employment marketthroughout China.In addition,we plan to improve our services by continuing todevelop and integrate digital technologies including crowdsourcing,big data andartificial intelligence to enhance the Gongwuyuan Platform.We believe theseefforts will allo

169、 diagramare governed by the Contractual Arrangements and do not constitute equityownership.1Table of Contents2Table of ContentsWe are an offshore holding company incorporated in the Cayman Islands.As a holdingcompany,we have no material operations and we conduct our operations in Chinathrough the VI
170、E,Gongwuyuan,and its subsidiaries,or collectively,“the PRCoperating entities”.This is an offering of our Ordinary Shares,instead of sharesof the VIE or any of the PRC operating entities,therefore,our investors may neverdirectly hold equity interests in the PRC operating entities.You are not investin
171、gin the PRC operating entities as neither we nor our subsidiaries own any share orequity interest in the PRC operating entities.Instead,we consolidate thefinancial results of Gongwuyan as the primary beneficiary through the ContractualArrangements between our indirectly wholly-foreign owned subsidia
172、ry entity,Shenzhen Pengze Future Technology Co.,Ltd(“Pengze WFOE”),Gongwuyuan and certainshareholders of Gongwuyuan.Contractual Arrangements among Pengze WFOE,Gongwuyuan,and theShareholders of the VIEPengze WFOE,our indirect wholly-foreign owned subsidiary,and Gongwuyuan,as wellas certain shareholde
173、rs of Gongwuyuan entered into a series of ContractualArrangements in December2021.The Contractual Arrangements are designed to allowBaiya to consolidate Gongwuyuans operations and financial results in Baiyasfinancial statements in accordance with U.S.GAAP as the primary beneficiary.Due to PRC legal
174、restrictions on foreign ownership in certain sectors or othermatters,such as value-added telecommunications services,or VATS,many China-basedoperating companies had to list on a U.S.exchange through ContractualArrangements,or a VIE structure,without a direct ownership in main operatingentities.Gongw
175、uyuans operations involve in the VATS,which is classified as asector that restricts foreign ownership.With the advice of our PRC counsel,Baiyahas elected to utilize the VIE structure.Recently,the PRC government initiated a series of regulatory actions andstatements to regulate business operations in
176、 China with little advance notice,including cracking down on illegal activities in the securities market,enhancingsupervision over overseas listing of domestic enterprises,adopting new measures toextend the scope of cybersecurity reviews,and expanding their efforts in anti-monopoly enforcement.Altho
177、ugh we chose a VIE structure,we are subject to certainrisks and uncertainties that may not otherwise exist if we had a direct equityownership in the operating entities.The VIE structure has inherent risks that mayaffect your investment,including less effectiveness and certainties compared todirect o
178、wnership,and potential substantial costs to enforce the terms of theContractual Arrangements in the event of a dispute.See“Risk Factors Risksrelating to the VIE StructureWe rely on Contractual Arrangements with the VIEand certain shareholders of the VIE to consolidate financial results of the PRCope
179、rating entities.We do not have an equity ownership in,direct foreigninvestment in,or control of,through such ownership or investment,the VIE.”Wemay have difficulty in enforcing our rights under the Contractual Arrangements withGongwuyuan and shareholders in the PRC because our Contractual Arrangemen
180、ts aregoverned by the PRC laws and provide for the resolution of disputes througharbitration in the PRC,where the legal environment is still developing.Due touncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of relevant PRC laws andregulations in connection with the VIE structure or VIE Agr
181、eements,our ability toenforce the VIE Agreements could be substantially hampered.See“RiskFactors Risks Relating to Doing Business in China Uncertainties withrespect to the PRC legal system,including uncertainties regarding the enforcementof laws,and sudden or unexpected changes in laws and regulatio
182、ns in China couldadversely affect us and limit the legal protections available to you and us.”Furthermore,these Contractual Arrangements may not be enforceable in China if PRCgovernment authorities or courts take a view that such Contractual Arrangementscontravene PRC laws and regulations or are not
183、 otherwise enforceable for publicpolicy reasons.In the event we are unable to enforce these ContractualArrangements,we may not be able to exert effective control over Gongwuyuan,andour ability to conduct our business may be materially and adversely affected.Formore information,see“Risk FactorsRisks
184、relating to the VIEStructureThe PRC government may find that the Contractual Arrangements withthe VIE and its shareholders to operate our business in China do not comply withapplicable PRC Laws,or if these applicable PRC Laws or the interpretation ofexisting applicable PRC Laws change in the future,
185、we could be subject to severepenalties or be forced to relinquish our interests in those operations.Additionally,such determination by the PRC government and changes orinterpretations in PRC Laws,if occurred,may cause significant decline in thevalue of our shares,or even render our shares worthless.

220、ders ofGongwuyuan has signed a Spousal Consent Letter.Under the Spousal Consent Letter,the signing spouse has unconditionally and irrevocably agreed that the dispositionof the equity interest in Gongwuyuan which is held by and registered under the nameof his or her spouse shall be made pursuant to t
221、he above-mentioned BusinessOperation Agreement and Powers of Attorney,Equity Disposal Agreement,EquityPledge Agreement,and Agency Agreement,signed by his or her spouse,as amendedfrom time to time.Each of the signing spouse undertakes to take necessary actionsto ensure the performance of above-mentio
222、ned VIE agreements.Based on the foregoing Contractual Arrangements,Baiya is allowed to consolidateGongwuyuans operations and financial results in Baiyas consolidated financialstatements for the periods presented herein as if the current corporate structurehad been in existence throughout the periods
223、 presented under common control inaccordance with Regulation S-X-3A-02 promulgated by the SEC and AccountingStandards Codification(“ASC”)810-10,Consolidation.As we chose such VIE structure,we are subject to certain unique risks anduncertainties that may not otherwise exist if we had direct equity ow
224、nership in thePRC operating entities.Because we do not directly hold equity interests in the VIEand its subsidiaries,our Contractual Arrangements may not be effective inproviding control over Gongwuyuan,the VIE and their shareholders could breachtheir contractual arrangements with us by,among other
225、things,failing to conductthe operations of the VIE in an acceptable manner or taking other actions that aredetrimental to our interests.If we had direct ownership of the VIE in China,wewould be able to exercise our rights as a shareholder to effect changes in theboard of directors of the VIE,which i
226、n turn could implement changes,subject toany applicable fiduciary obligations,at the management and operational level.However,under the current contractual arrangements,we rely on the performance bythe VIE and their shareholders of their obligations under the contracts to exercisecontrol over the VI
227、E.The shareholders of the VIE may not act in the best interestsof our company or may not perform their obligations under these contracts.If anydispute relating to these contracts remains unresolved,we will have to enforce ourrights under these contracts through the operations of PRC law and arbitrat
228、ion,litigation and other legal proceedings and therefore the Company may incursubstantial costs to enforce the terms of the arrangements.Furthermore,if the VIEor their shareholders fail to perform their respective obligations under thecontractual arrangements,we may have to incur substantial costs a
229、nd expendadditional resources to enforce such arrangements.We may also have to rely onlegal remedies under PRC law,including seeking specific performance or injunctiverelief,and contractual remedies,which we cannot assure you will be sufficient oreffective under PRC law.For example,if the shareholde
230、rs of the VIE were to refuseto transfer their equity interests in the VIE to us or our designee if we exercisethe purchase option pursuant to these contractual arrangements,or if they wereotherwise to act in bad faith toward us,then we may have to take legal actions tocompel them to perform their co
231、ntractual obligations.In addition,if any thirdparties claim any interest in such shareholders equity interests in the VIE,ourability to exercise shareholders rights or foreclose the share pledge according tothe contractual arrangements may be impaired.Further,we are subject to risks dueto uncertaint

239、re not required to obtain permission or approval from the PRC authoritiesincluding CSRC or CAC to issue the Ordinary Shares to foreign investors,nor havewe,or the PRC operating entities,applied for or received any denial for theRegistration.However,recently,the General Office of the Central Committe
240、e of theCommunist Party of China and the General Office of the State Council jointly issuedthe“Opinions on Severely Cracking Down on Illegal Securities Activities Accordingto Law,”or the Opinions,which was made available to the public on July6,2021.The Opinions emphasized the need to strengthen the
241、administration over illegalsecurities activities,and the need to strengthen the supervision over overseaslistings by Chinese companies.Effective measures,such as promoting theconstruction of relevant regulatory systems will be taken to deal with the risksand incidents of China-concept overseas liste
242、d companies,and cybersecurity anddata privacy protection requirements and similar matters.The Opinions and anyrelated implementing rules to be enacted may subject us to compliance requirementin the future.Further,we are still subject to the uncertainty of interpretationand enforcement of the rules a
243、nd regulations in the PRC,which can change quicklywith little advance notice,and any future actions of the PRC authorities.Wecannot assure you that relevant PRC government agencies would reach the sameconclusion as we do or as advised by our PRC legal counsel.However,(i)if weinadvertently concluded
244、that such permissions or approvals are not required,or(ii)if the CAC or other regulatory PRC agencies later promulgate new rulesrequiring that we obtain their approvals to issue the Ordinary Shares to foreigninvestors,and we are unable to obtain such approval in a timely manner or obtain awaiver of
245、such approval requirements.In addition,any uncertainties and/ornegative publicity regarding such an approval requirement could have a materialadverse effect on the trading price of our securities.See“Risk Factors RisksRelating to Doing Business in China”beginning on page 41 and“Risks Relatingto the
246、Offering,”beginning on page59 of this prospectus for a discussion ofthese legal and operational risks and information that should be considered beforemaking a decision to purchase our Ordinary Shares.Dividends and Other DistributionsWe are a holding company with no material operations of our own and
247、 do not generateany revenue.We currently conduct substantially all of our operations through thePRC operating entities.Under Cayman Islands law,Baiya may pay a dividend on itsshares out of either profit or share premium amount or a combination of both,provided that in no circumstances may a dividend
248、 be paid if this would result inthe company being unable to pay its debts due in the ordinary course of business.If we determine to pay dividends on any of our Ordinary Shares in the future,as aholding company,we will rely on payments made from Gongwuyuan to the Pengze WFOE,pursuant to the Contractu
249、al Arrangements,and the dividend payment to Juxing HKfrom Pengze WFOE,unless we receive proceeds from future offerings.Certainpayments from Gongwuyuan to the Pengze WFOE are subject to PRC taxes,includingvalue added tax,or VAT,and enterprise income tax.We intend to keep any future earnings to re-inv
250、est in and finance the expansion ofthe business of the PRC operating entities,and we do not anticipate that any cashdividends will be paid in the foreseeable future.As of the date of thisprospectus,no cash transfer or transfer of other assets have occurred betweenBaiya,its subsidiaries,and the conso
251、lidated VIE as well as its subsidiaries.Asof the date of this prospectus,none of our subsidiaries,the consolidated VIE,orthe subsidiaries of the VIE have made any dividends or distributions to Baiya.Asof the date of this prospectus,we do not have any U.S.investors,so no dividendsor distributions hav
252、e been made to any U.S.investors.Currently,we,including ourconsolidated VIE and the subsidiaries of the VIE,have not adopted or maintainedany cash management policies and procedures to govern cash transfer between Baiya,its subsidiaries,and the consolidated VIE as well as the subsidiaries of the VIE
253、,and each entity needs to comply with applicable law or regulations with respect totransfer of funds,dividends and distributions with other entities.Our Pengze WFOEs ability to distribute dividends is based upon its distributableearnings.Current PRC regulations permit the Pengze WFOE to pay dividend
254、s to JuxingHK only out of their accumulated profits,if any,determined in accordance withChinese accounting standards and regulations.In addition,each of our subsidiariesin China is required to set aside at least 10%of its after-tax profits each year,if any,to fund a statutory reserve until such rese
255、rve reaches 50%of itsregistered capital.Each of such entity in China may also set aside a portion ofits after-tax profits to fund an optional reserve,although the amount to be setaside,if any,is determined at the discretion of its shareholders.The reservescan be used to increase the registered capit
256、al,cover losses made in pastyears andenhance the companys productivity and expand its business.7Table of ContentsThe PRC government also imposes controls on the conversion of RMB into foreigncurrencies and the remittance of currencies out of the PRC.Therefore,we mayexperience difficulties in complet
257、ing the administrative procedures necessary toobtain and remit foreign currency for the payment of dividends from our profits,ifany.Furthermore,if our subsidiaries in the PRC incur debt on their own in thefuture,the instruments governing the debt may restrict their ability to paydividends or make ot
258、her payments.If we or our subsidiaries are unable to receivethe relevant revenues from our operations through the current ContractualArrangements,we may be unable to pay dividends on our Ordinary Shares.Cash dividends,if any,on our Ordinary Shares will be paid in U.S.dollars.If weare considered a PR
259、C tax resident enterprise for tax purposes,any dividends we payto our overseas shareholders may be regarded as China-sourced income and as aresult may be subject to PRC withholding tax at a rate of up to 10.0%.In order for us to pay dividends to our shareholders,we will rely on payments madefrom Gon
260、gwuyuan to the Pengze WFOE,pursuant to the Contractual Arrangements,andthe dividend payments to Juxing HK from the Pengze WFOE.Certain payments from theVIE,Gongwuyuan,to Pengze WFOE are subject to PRC taxes,including VAT andenterprise income tax.Pursuant to the Arrangement between Mainland China and
261、 the Hong Kong SpecialAdministrative Region for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and Tax Evasion onIncome,or the Double Tax Avoidance Arrangement,the 10%withholding tax rate maybe lowered to 5%if a HongKong resident enterprise owns no less than 25%of a PRCproject.However,the 5%withholding tax rate d
262、oes not automatically apply andcertain requirements must be satisfied,including without limitation that(a)theHong Kong project must be the beneficial owner of the relevant dividends;and(b)the HongKong project must directly hold no less than 25%share ownership inthe PRC project during the 12 consecut
263、ive months preceding its receipt of thedividends.In current practice,a HongKong project must obtain a tax residentcertificate from the Hong Kong tax authority to apply for the 5%lower PRCwithholding tax rate.As the HongKong tax authority will issue such a tax residentcertificate on a case-by-case ba
264、sis,we cannot assure you that we will be able toobtain the tax resident certificate from the relevant HongKong tax authority andenjoy the preferential withholding tax rate of 5%under the Double TaxationArrangement with respect to dividends to be paid by our PRC subsidiary to itsimmediate holding com
265、pany,Juxing HK.As of the date of this prospectus,we havenot applied for the tax resident certificate from the relevant Hong Kong taxauthority.Juxing HK intends to apply for the tax resident certificate when thePengze WFOE plans to declare and pay dividends to Juxing HK.See“RiskFactorsRisks Relating
266、to Doing Business in ChinaThere are significantuncertainties under the EIT Law relating to the withholding tax liabilities of ourPRC subsidiary,and dividends payable by our PRC subsidiary to our offshoresubsidiaries may not qualify to enjoy certain treaty benefits.”Further,the proceeds of this offer
267、ing may be sent back from the holding company tothe PRC,and the process for sending such proceeds back to the PRC may be time-consuming after the closing of this offering.We may be unable to use theseproceeds to grow the business of the PRC operating entities until the PRC operatingentities receive
268、such proceeds in the PRC.Any transfer of funds by the holdingcompany to the PRC operating entities,either as a shareholder loan or as anincrease in registered capital,are subject to registration,filing with or reportto relevant governmental authorities in China.Any foreign loans procured by thePRC o
