Updating the legal representative of a Shenzhen foreign-funded company is a critical process that demands precision and compliance with local regulations. As a trusted partner for international businesses in China, Yifan Consulting (Shenzhen Yifan Corporate Services Co., Ltd.) specializes in providing seamless legal representative change services, ensuring minimal disruption to your operations while maintaining full compliance with Chinese law.

For foreign investors, adjusting the legal representative involves navigating complex documentation, government approvals, and legal formalities. Common scenarios requiring this change include corporate restructuring, leadership transitions, or strategic realignments. Our team streamlines the entire process, handling everything from document preparation to liaising with authorities, so you can focus on your core business goals.

Key Requirements for Legal Representative Changes

To initiate a legal representative change for a Shenzhen foreign-funded company, the following documents are typically required:

- A valid resolution from the company’s shareholders or board of directors approving the change;

- Passport copies of the new legal representative (for foreign individuals) or notarized corporate documents (for foreign corporate shareholders);

- Proof of the company’s registered address in Shenzhen (either a physical office or a registered business secretary address);

- A valid Chinese mobile number for the new legal representative to facilitate government communications.

Yifan Consulting ensures all submissions meet the stringent standards of Shenzhen’s market supervision bureau. Our experts verify document authenticity, translate foreign materials into Chinese, and manage notarization or consular legalization when necessary. With an average processing time of 5–7 working days, we expedite approvals while mitigating risks of delays due to incomplete filings.

Cost-Effective and Transparent Service Packages

We offer transparent pricing for legal representative changes, with fees starting at RMB 2,000, covering government charges, document processing, and advisory support. For companies requiring additional services, such as updating business licenses or renewing foreign investment certificates, bundled packages are available to optimize costs.
