2、CONCEPT OF RO
A Chinese representative office (RO) is an office of the foreign enterprise established in China for liaison with Chinese businesses and customers on behalf of its parent company.
A RO is not considered to be a separate legal entity. It can not directly engage in operational activities. However, its parent company can enter into contracts with its supplier/customers in China in its own name, but not in the name of its RO. Therefore, before a foreign investor establishes its presence in China using wholly foreign owned enterprise, equity joint venture and cooperative joint venture, it could first set up a representative office to test the market.

 

3. NAME OF REPRESENTATIVE OFFICE
The format of the RO Name is: country (area) + parent company name + Shanghai Representative Office.

The simplicity and short time required for establishing a RO is the main reason for its popularity in China market. Unlike foreign investment enterprises ("FIEs"), representative offices are not required to meet stringent requirements for items such as capital contribution.
