04FAQ

A WFOE is a company in China funded by foreign investors without a Chinese shareholder. Its availability and permitted business scope depend on applicable foreign-investment rules.

Full foreign ownership is available for many activities, but not all. Eligibility depends on the sector, business scope and applicable foreign-investment restrictions.

Requirements depend on whether the shareholder is an individual or a company. Passport or company registration documents, authentication and Chinese translation may be required.

A compliant registered address is required. The supporting lease and property documents depend on the city, property and registration scenario.

The application is coordinated after the business licence and official seals are issued. Account opening remains subject to the bank’s compliance review and approval.

The business scope is prepared from the company’s real and planned activities and must align with applicable registration and licensing requirements.
