The process of a Shenzhen WFOE Incorporation is strictly speaking not the same as in other locations in China. This is to name a few examples: Some locations are so-called pilot-areas where new policies are introduced. Regional different legislation or when the new national policies are introduced they start in one location and get introduced steps by step in different regions. Also in some locations, there are local government programs in place to promote and attract foreign investors.

Now in Shenzhen, there is no minimum general registered investment capital required for WFOE’s if has the business scope of consulting, Trading, retailing, and information technology. In China, a Certificate Of Incorporation or Business License is limited to a defined scope.

  2. Additional wanted permits may require a registered investment Capital.
  3. Chinese government officials and the companies cooperation partner will pay attention to register capital which is printed on the Business License.

Optional one can apply for a scheduled payment plan, to pay the registered investment capital to one’s company.
