Shenzhen, China’s innovation hub, continues to attract global entrepreneurs seeking to establish foreign-funded enterprises. With streamlined policies and a dynamic business environment, the city offers unparalleled opportunities for international investors. As a trusted partner for over 3,000 enterprises, Shenzhen Yifan Consulting Co., Ltd. specializes in guiding foreign businesses through every step of company registration, compliance, and long-term growth.
Why Choose Shenzhen for Foreign-Funded Enterprises?
Shenzhen’s strategic location, advanced infrastructure, and preferential policies make it an ideal destination for foreign investors. The city’s government actively supports international businesses by simplifying approval processes and offering tax incentives. For instance, qualifying enterprises may enjoy reduced corporate income tax rates or exemptions during initial operating years. By partnering with a professional agency like Yifan Consulting, foreign investors can efficiently navigate local regulations while focusing on core business strategies.
Key Steps for Registering a Foreign-Funded Company in Shenzhen
The establishment process typically takes 2–5 working days, provided all documents are prepared correctly. Here’s an overview:
1. Document Preparation: Foreign individuals must submit a valid passport, while corporate shareholders need notarized proof of incorporation from their home country. A local Shenzhen office address (either physical or a registered business secretary address) and a Chinese mobile number for the legal representative are also required.
2. Name Reservation and Approval: Submit proposed company names to the Shenzhen Administration for Market Regulation. Yifan Consulting ensures compliance with naming conventions to avoid delays.
3. Business License Issuance: Upon name approval, submit articles of association, shareholder agreements, and office proof. Most applications are processed within 1–2 working days.
4. Company Seal Creation: Official seals, including the company chop and financial seal, are produced in 2 working days. Yifan Consulting offers free company seal carving as part of its registration package.
5. Bank Account Setup: Open a corporate account at a Chinese bank within 1 working day using the business license and seals.
Ensuring Compliance for Long-Term Success
Post-registration, foreign-funded enterprises must prioritize tax compliance to avoid penalties. Annual financial reporting, VAT filings, and corporate income tax declarations are mandatory. Yifan Consulting provides foreign-owned small-scale enterprise tax declaration services starting at RMB 4,000/year, ensuring adherence to China’s evolving tax laws. Additionally, businesses without a physical office can utilize business secretary address services (RMB 3,000/year) to maintain legal registration status.
