Generally, there are four common business presences for investors to choose, namely, Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprise (WFOE), Representative Office (RO), Joint Venture (JV) and Foreign Invested Partnership Enterprise (FIPE), among which WFOE is the most popular for foreign investors to start up their business in Guangdong. The following is the basic steps that you need to go through when setting up a WFOE in Guangdong.
Steps for forming a WFOE in Guangdong
1. Determine the business scope
Guangdong recently abandoned this system, and now both foreign and domestic companies can set up trading companies. Restrictions on export oriented trading companies have essentially been eliminated, but there are still controls on import oriented trading companies that can increase expense and raise costs. Because these rules were only recently changed, the local regulators who must approve these projects do not have a great deal of experience with the attendant issues. This sometimes delays the approval process. It also results in an extremely cautious approach towards adequate capitalization even for export oriented trading companies.
2. Determine if the foreign investor is an approved investor
Basically, any legally formed foreign business entity is authorized to invest in a WFOE in Guangdong. The investor must provide documentation from its home country proving it is a duly formed and validly existing corporation. To meet these requirements, the following documents are normally needed from the investing business entity:
a. Articles of Incorporation or equivalent (copy);
b. Business license, both national and local (if any) (copies);
c. One set of Notarized and endorsed documents from Investing business entity;
d. Description of the investor’s business activities, together with added materials such as an annual report, brochures, website, etc.
