FAQ
Questions investors ask first.
Is FDI filing still required in China?
Foreign investors now usually follow the foreign investment information reporting system, alongside market registration and other required approvals or licenses.
Can a foreign individual set up a company in China?
In many cases yes, subject to the business scope, city practice, investor documents, and any industry-specific restrictions.
How long does China company setup take?
A straightforward service or trading company may move faster than a licensed or restricted activity. Document preparation often determines the real timeline.
Do you provide legal or tax advice?
This site can position the service as general guidance and coordination. Specific legal, tax, and foreign exchange advice should be confirmed by qualified professionals.
