Chinese Trading Import Export Company Formation
How to Start China Trading WFOE Company Formation?
- Registered Name of a Trading WFOE
- The name of a trading WFOE is usually composed of four parts, which in turn are “the administrative division + company name + industry characteristics + organizational form”, such as “Guangzhou Tian Di International Trade Co., LTD.” “Guangzhou” is the administrative division, “Tian Di” is the company name, “International Trade” is the industry, “Co., LTD” is the organization form.
- The administrative division in the name of a foreign trading company can be used after the company name, such as “International Trading Company of Tian Di (Guangzhou)”; It can also be put in the form of organization, such as “Tian Di International Trade (Guangzhou) Co., LTD”.
- A foreign trade company name should be used in accordance with national standard Chinese characters, the company name shall be composed of two or more characters, shall not use pinyin letters, arabic numerals. Trading WFOE’s English name shall has no special requirement and can put on company official stamp.
- Further approved by the government bureau with registered capital more than RMB 50 million, trading WFOE‘s name can be used without administrative division.
Registering a suitable name for your satisfaction is the first step in your successful investment. Consult Business China for details.
- The Minimum Amount of Registered Capital
- The minimum amount of registered capital of current foreign trade companies is without special provisions.
- According to our practical experience, the minimum registered capital is closely linked with the real conditions of your company which is going to be registered. The real current conditions include the main products business, enterprise business scale, the proposed registration, investors strength size, different areas of the enterprise.
- Generally speaking, small and medium-sized foreign trade companies will choose to register for 5 million yuan, 3 million yuan, 1 million yuan or 500,000 yuan, and of course 30,000 yuan, 100,000 yuan and 300,000 yuan can also register. If the strength of the investor is equal, the greater the registered capital, the feeling will be more assured. That is because too small amount will affect the business impact of your company.
- If a foreign trading company needs to apply for the general taxpayer when it begins to be set up, we recommend that the registered capital should be a little bit higher.
There are many problems involved in the registered capital, and it is very important to understand this "registered capital" with Chinese characteristics. Consult Business China for details.
- Time Limit and Method of Capital Contribution of a Trading WFOE
- The shareholders of the trading WFOE are not required to pay all the capital contribution in one lump sum, and you would have 30 years to do the capital injection.
- The trading WFOEs can choose the method of their capital contribution. But the amount for the first time shall be not less than 15% of the amount of capital subscribed, and shall not be less than the statutory minimum amount of registered capital.
- Foreign investors can invest freely convertible foreign currencies that must be remitted from abroad to China.
In the past, after the investors have paid each period of capital contribution, trading WFOEs should issue the capital verification report and submit it to the examination and approval authorities for filing after the capital contribution. This provision has been canceled to better facilitate foreign investment in China. For details, consult Business China.
