WFOE / Foreign Company Setup

Can a Foreign Individual Register a Company in China?

A foreign individual can often act as shareholder, but the preparation should cover identity documents, management roles, address and tax setup.

What to prepare

  • Passport information
  • China contact details
  • Legal representative plan
  • Business activity
  • Registered address option
  • Bank account plan

Common issues we see in practice

  • Investor documents are incomplete
  • Legal representative and finance roles are not clear
  • Business scope is drafted before the business model is confirmed
Practical note: Before consultation, prepare investor information, the expected business activity, product or service details, preferred location, permit questions and the planned staffing or accounting workflow.
