China Company Registration: Complete Guide (2026)

Choose Your Company Structure

• WFOE (Wholly Foreign-Owned Enterprise) — 100% foreign ownership. Best for companies seeking full control and direct profit repatriation.
• Representative Office — Liaison office for market research and non-commercial activities. Cannot generate revenue in China.
• Joint Venture — Partnership with a Chinese company. Required for restricted sectors or when local expertise is needed.

Registration Process Overview

1. Consultation — Determine the right structure based on your business scope and industry
2. Document Preparation — Prepare and notarize required company and personal documents
3. Name Approval — Reserve your company name with the Administration for Market Regulation
4. Business License — Receive your official Chinese business license
5. Post-Registration — Company chops, bank account, tax registration, and compliance setup
