Get Answers to Your China Launch Questions
Expanding into a new market naturally involves questions. See some common FAQs about our China representation services below:
What is the timeline for company registration?
The standard timeline for registering a Wholly Foreign-Owned Enterprise (WFOE) in China is approximately 3-4 weeks. However, this can vary depending on factors like the required business licenses for your industry. Our experts are familiar with the process and can ensure your company registration is completed as quickly as possible.
How much registered capital is required?
There is no universal minimum registered capital requirement in China. The appropriate amount depends on factors like your planned scope of operations, industry, feasibility projections, and financing capabilities. Our advisors can provide guidance on choosing a suitable registered capital amount for your business goals and circumstances.
Do I need to be physically present in China?
No, you do not need to be physically in China for the registration process. The only requirement is that documents like passports must be legalized by the relevant Chinese embassy. We can handle all aspects of the registration on your behalf.
Can I get help with additional services like accounting and tax filing?
Yes, we offer a full suite of compliance services beyond registration. This includes tax registration, monthly and annual tax filing, bookkeeping, financial audits, HR and payroll administration. We can customize our services to meet your specific business needs in China.
What happens after company registration is complete?
After registration, we assist with post-incorporation procedures like arranging company stamps, tax registration, and special licensing. We also provide ongoing corporate services to handle compliance, document filing, changes in legal representatives, and more. You can rely on our expertise even after your China company is operational.
Can I register a company in China if I'm not a Chinese citizen?
Yes, foreign nationals and overseas entities can invest and register companies in China. The most common structure for foreign businesses is a Wholly Foreign-Owned Enterprise (WFOE). We have extensive experience assisting non-Chinese clients with WFOE registration and ongoing compliance.
What are the ownership requirements for a WFOE?
A WFOE must be 100% owned by a foreign individual or business entity. Chinese partners or investors cannot hold shares. However, foreign-invested companies can partner with local companies through contractual arrangements.
Are there industry restrictions for foreign companies?
There are restrictions in certain industries like telecommunications, mining, and financial services. Our advisors can check if your proposed business scope fits within the Catalogue of Industries for Foreign Investment. Alternate structures like joint ventures may be options as well.
Does my company need a Chinese legal representative?
Yes, all foreign-invested companies in China must appoint a Chinese national as the legal representative. If you do not have someone to take this role, we can provide a nominee legal representative fully backed by legal documents to protect your control.
What ongoing services do you provide after registration?
We provide a full suite of corporate services including compliance, accounting, tax filing, HR, document filing, changes in legal representatives, and more. We can customize our ongoing services based on your specific needs to keep your China company compliant and operational.
