Setting up in China

Expansion into China requires an office with people ‘on the ground’ to run operations. There are some bureaucratic procedures to undergo, but the process isn’t as difficult as might be expected – and costs for office setup are considerably less expensive in China than in the UK. Services include:

• Explanation of different structures of setup including Representative Office, Joint Venture and Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprise.
  
  
• Registration of office with appropriate bureaucracy.
  
  
• Sourcing of office space and negotiation of fees.
  
  
• Recruitment of suitable Chinese and Western members of staff.
