Who owns Shein?
Shein is run by a company that the sources link to Roadget Business Pte. as its parent, and its headquarters is in Singapore. As of our check of 28 October 2026, Wikipedia lists Shein as traded on SEHK: 625 and also reports an August 2026 Hong Kong IPO filing, so listing status is unclear; our AI could not confirm the operator of shein.com.
Checked on by AnyFact's AI Business Check, with a fresh look at Wikidata, the LEI register and the sources linked below.

How to find out who is behind any other site
Read the site's own legal pages
Terms of use, privacy policy, imprint or legal notice: they name the company you contract with. For shein.com, the operator in the chain above comes from pages like these, from filings or from Wikidata.
Look that company up in a register
Companies House in the UK, SEC EDGAR for US public companies, the French Annuaire des entreprises, and the GLEIF LEI register worldwide give its legal name, number, address and status.
Follow it to its parent
Wikidata records parent organisations, owners and stock listings with dates; annual reports and filings confirm them. Check the date of each source: Wikidata can lag behind a sale.
