Company Formation in China
Asia-Pacific
Overview
Establishing a business in China is a complex but strategically rewarding endeavor, offering direct access to the Asian consumer market. While navigating the bureaucratic landscape requires careful planning and significant documentation, China provides various business structures, including Wholly Foreign-Owned Enterprises (WFOEs), allowing 100% foreign ownership. Understanding local regulations, especially concerning taxation and individual application reviews, is crucial for successful incorporation and operational presence.
Our Process
Step 1: Strategic Planning & Structure Selection
Thoroughly plan your business model and choose the appropriate legal structure (e.g., Representative Office, Joint Venture, or WFOE) based on your objectives and industry.
Step 2: Document Preparation & Submission
Prepare a comprehensive set of documents, which can be extensive, for submission to the relevant Chinese authorities for review and approval.
Step 3: Government Review & Approval
Each application for foreign company registration is reviewed manually and individually, requiring patience and compliance with specific requirements.
Step 4: Post-Registration Formalities
Once incorporated, proceed with essential post-registration steps, including corporate bank account opening and other operational setups.
