在中国设立子公司并非一帆风顺。成立和发展您的公司需要大量的时间、金钱和资源。您可以通过了解中国的各种附属法律法规来简化流程。
如何设立中国子公司
中国为跨国公司提供了多种业务结构；然而，以下是最常见的3 ：
- Joint venture (JV): A JV is generally a foreign-invested company formed by international investors and investors in China. Profit distribution, governance rights, and risk allocation are set by Chinese company law and the venture documents. Companies that need a local business partner to help with distribution, government relationships, or market knowledge often choose this option.
- Representative office (RO): An RO generally has no minimum registered capital requirement, but it is limited to non-revenue-generating activities and cannot operate as a full commercial entity. However, it has a limited business scope and can generally only perform non-profit, liaison-type activities, such as market research, promotion, and coordination for the foreign parent company.
- Wholly foreign-owned enterprise (WFOE): A WFOE is typically a limited liability company established in China and wholly owned by foreign investor(s). Businesses that want to produce a parent company’s product in China and export it to another country often choose this option.
在中国设立子公司的流程取决于您选择的公司形式。
对于希望在中国设立子公司的国际化公司而言，外商独资企业通常是最受欢迎的商业结构。 要设立外商独资企业，您需要准备所有法律文件——包括公司注册文件、审计报告和授权书——在中国开设银行账户，并且您可能需要为您的公司找到当地的法定代表。
中国附属法律
Although WFOEs generally do not have a statutory minimum registered capital requirement, certain regulated industries or licensing regimes may still require registered or paid-in capital. China subsidiary laws are mainly set nationally, and standard WFOEs or FIEs usually do not face a city-by-city statutory minimum registered capital requirement. However, regulated industries, local filing practice, free trade zones, development zones, and incentive programs may require or expect a reasonable capital amount for the proposed business scope and locality.
All international investors might need a China entity to act as a sponsor for the company. Foreign investors can generally apply directly for WFOE incorporation documents or appoint an authorized local representative. Many use a service provider, law firm, or corporate services agent for Chinese-language filings and local procedures. A FESCO may help with related services, but it is not generally required for incorporation.
设立中国子公司的好处
外商独资企业因其结构而有许多好处。这种结构使母公司对整个业务拥有更大的控制权，并有助于公司避免与中国国内投资者发生任何棘手的情况，包括：
- 没有最大化的利润
- 知识产权泄露
- 窃取知识和专业知识
The benefits of subsidiary setup extend to the parent company. As a subsidiary, the company in China can operate independently, which means that managers can choose their own business style to match China’s culture and differing needs. Subsidiaries generally carry their own liability as separate legal persons, so the parent company is typically not automatically liable for litigation, compliance issues, or other problems. Exceptions can apply if the parent fails to meet capital contribution obligations, commingles operations, gives guarantees, or abuses limited liability.
WFOE 也比其他企业结构具有更大的灵活性。 这些子公司可以使用当地货币，并直接控制所有日常运营。 它们的运营效率通常高于合资企业或 RO。
其他重要考虑因素
The China subsidiary setup process takes a significant amount of time and money when handled on your own. From start to finish, it can take months to incorporate your business and begin operations successfully. Because foreign companies generally need a China-registered employing entity before hiring employees directly, setup delays can cost them strong candidates. An employer of record or authorized local employment solution can often provide a faster compliant route.
