Starting a business in Shenzhen, China’s innovation hub, offers unparalleled opportunities for global entrepreneurs. However, navigating the complexities of company registration, especially for foreign investors, can be challenging. Shenzhen Yifan Consulting Co., Ltd. (YFCSGW) specializes in simplifying this process, ensuring compliance with local regulations while saving you time and resources. Whether you’re a foreign individual or corporation, here’s how to efficiently apply for company registration in Shenzhen.

Why Choose Shenzhen for Your Business?

Shenzhen’s dynamic economy, strategic location, and business-friendly policies make it a top destination for foreign investment. The city’s streamlined administrative procedures and robust infrastructure support rapid business growth. However, foreign entrepreneurs must adhere to specific requirements, such as providing a valid office address, certified documentation, and partnering with experienced consultants like Yifan Consulting to ensure a smooth setup.

Key Steps to Register a Foreign-Owned Company in Shenzhen

1. **Prepare Required Documentation**

For foreign individuals: A valid passport and a Chinese mobile number for the legal representative.

For foreign corporate shareholders: Notarized and apostilled incorporation certificates from the home country.

Address proof: A physical office in Shenzhen or a registered commercial secretary address.

2. **Company Name Approval**

Submit your proposed company name to the Shenzhen Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR). Yifan Consulting assists in checking name availability and securing approval within 1–2 business days.

3. **Submit Registration Materials**

Once the name is approved, Yifan Consulting prepares and submits the incorporation documents, including the Articles of Association and legal representative details. The entire registration process typically takes **2–5 working days** for foreign-owned entities.

4. **Obtain Business Licenses and Seals**

After approval, you’ll receive a Unified Social Credit Code (USCC) and a business license. Yifan Consulting also arranges the official company seals (stamps), which are essential for banking and contracts. Seal production takes **2 working days**.

5. **Open a Corporate Bank Account**

Shenzhen’s banks require an in-person visit by the legal representative. Yifan Consulting coordinates with partner banks to expedite account setup, often completed in **1 working day**.
