WFOE vs Representative Office in China
The right structure depends on whether the investor needs revenue activity, contracts, invoicing and staff in China.
Main difference
A WFOE is normally used for business operations and revenue activity. A representative office is more limited and usually fits liaison or market research needs.
Decision points
- Need to sign local contracts
- Need RMB invoicing
- Need local staff
- Need import-export or service revenue
- Need long-term China operation
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.
