FDI & Market Entry: From Trading With China to Operating in China
For companies moving from buying out of China to running an entity in it. Entity formation, joint venture negotiation and governance structure — quoted on request, because no two structures are the same.
Two Packages
Choose the Structure You Actually Need
Package A
WFOE Setup
Quoted on request
- Name pre-approval
- Business licence application
- Tax and foreign-exchange registration
- Bank account opening support
Package B
JV Formation
Quoted on request
- Counterparty identification
- Term sheet and joint venture agreement drafting
- Negotiation support
- Incorporation of the JV entity
Why these are quoted on request
- Entity setup depends on the municipality, the licensed business scope, capital requirements and your own group structure.
- Joint venture work depends heavily on the counterparty and how far negotiation has to go.
- You receive a written scope and fee after an initial review — never an open-ended engagement.
Typical Sequence
What the Work Involves
Structure & scope review
What you want the entity to do, and which licensed scope actually permits it.
Documentation
Name pre-approval, articles, and the filings the local authority requires.
Registration
Business licence, tax and foreign-exchange registration, bank account support.
Ongoing
Governance, contracts and compliance — often via a corporate counsel retainer.
Already trading with Chinese suppliers? Verification comes first — before you commit to a joint venture.
