Company Formation Services in China for Overseas Investors
Company formation in China starts with checking whether the proposed activity, ownership structure, funding plan, and operating location can support the business the investor actually intends to run. JY Law Firm assists overseas investors with legal planning, establishment documents, registration coordination, and the legal steps connected with launch.
Before work begins, we identify the investor, proposed shareholders, business activity, city, capital plan, local partners, and any sector permissions that may affect the route.
1. Investment Route, Ownership and Governance
We review foreign investment access, the proposed entity form, ownership percentages, registered capital, management appointments, voting arrangements, and the role of any Chinese partner.
- Confirm whether the planned activity is open to foreign investment.
- Align shareholder rights and capital commitments.
- Address decision-making, deadlock, transfers, and exit where relevant.
2. Establishment Documents
We help prepare and review the articles of association, investor and shareholder materials, appointment documents, registered-address evidence, and information describing the proposed business scope.
Documents issued outside China may require translation or other formalities. The filing package should be internally consistent and reflect the intended operations.
3. Registration and Required Permissions
We assist with the company-registration process and identify licences or permissions that may be required for the relevant industry. Requirements depend on the activity and local authority.
A business licence is a central step, but regulated activities may require additional work before operations begin.
4. Post-Registration Launch Steps
Depending on the project, post-registration work may include company seals, tax and banking arrangements, foreign exchange procedures, employment documents, customs matters, and sector registrations.
We help map the sequence, documents, responsible party, and dependencies so the business can plan its launch realistically.
Prepare for an Initial Review
Send a description of the product or service, proposed city, investors and ownership, expected funding, local partners, employees, customers, and intended launch date.
