China, an Emerging Market

China is a country that shows extraordinary potential for development in the coming years. Its economic growth is impressive and the country is one of the largest recipients of foreign direct investments in the world.

A fast growing economy and advantageous costs for investors are two main important reasons to start a business in China.

A Large Market that Awaits Foreign Investments

China not only has important emerging potential, but it also has a large market that can be developed.

The country’s large land and population are important considerations for foreign investors in China.

Extensive Transportation and Urbanization Developments

China is opening itself to foreign investments and at the same time is focusing on improving its transportation network and increasing the urbanization rate.

Passenger transportation is easy between the country’s largest business and economic centres and the Chinese Government is focusing on implementing a urbanization development strategy.

Special Investment Zones for Foreign Investors

The China Shanghai Free Trade Zone is a special area where foreign investors enjoy certain business advantages. Many multinational companies have established their centres here.

The free trade zone encompasses more free zones and parks, each having their own characteristics and benefits for foreign investors.

Workforce and Manufacturing Advantages

China has a valuable workforce and the lower manufacturing costs here have determined many multinational companies to set-up factories or production lines in China.

The country’s workforce is evolving and the number of highly educated individuals, who are also bilingual, is increasingly larger.

Requirements for Companies in China

China allows foreign investors to open a special type of limited liability company called the wholly foreign owned enterprise (WFOE).

Foreign companies can be set up in a number of permitted areas for investments, including industry, agriculture, infrastructure and many others.

Company Registration in China

The Company Law stipulates the requirements for company incorporation and registration in China.

Investors must register their company with the Chinese authorities and obtain the needed business licenses.
