Chengdu is the capital of the Sichuan province and is situated on the Western edge of the Sichuan Basin. This capital city serves as the economic, financial and commercial center of Southwest China. More than 15 million people live in Chengdu. The province of Sichuan is known to tourists for its spicy food. Chengdu is famous for their cute habitants: The Panda. Economically, it is ranked as the 15th most competitive city in China. The ranking will probably move up quickly, as experts estimate that Chengdu will soon be upgraded from a Tier 2 to Tier 1 city. The growth which makes the Tier upgrade possible, is fueled by infrastructure and connectivity investments like the OBOR initiative and the Chengdu – Poland railway connection.
To facilitate people who want to invest and set up business in Chengdu ,
here is an introduction of Types of business presence in China:
Before starting up a business in China,
you have to know what are the options. Foreign Investors generally establish a
business presence in China in one of five modes: Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprise(WFOE); Representative Office; Foreign Invested Partnership
Enterprises (FIPE); Joint Venture and Hong Kong Holding Company.
Wholly Foreign OwnedEnterprise (WFOE) is a Limited liability company wholly owned
by the foreign investor. WFOE requires no registered capital and it's liability
of equity , can generate income, pay tax in China and it's profit could be
repatriate back to investor's home country. Any enterprise in China which is
100 percent owned by a foreign company or companies can be called as WFOE.
Representative Office (RO) is aLiaison Office of it's parent company. It requires no
registered capital. It's activities would be: product or service promotion,
market research of it's parent company's business, Quality Control liaison
office etc in China. RO generally is prohibited to generate any revenue nor
generating contracts with local businesses in China.
Joint Venture (JV) is a Limitedliability company formed between Chinese investor and Foreign investor. The
parties agree to create a entity by both contributing equity, and they then
share in the revenues, expenses, and control of the enterprise. JV usually been
used by foreign investor to engage the so called restricted in areas such like:
Education, Mining, Hospital etc.
Since March 1, 2010: Measures ofEstablishment of Foreign Invested Partnership Enterprises (FIPE) in Chinaistaking effect. The regulation, which take effect since March 1,
2010, are known as the Administrative Measures for the Establishment of
Partnership Enterprise in China by Foreign Enterprises or Individuals. There's
no required minimum registered capital for a Foreign Invested Partnership
Enterprise (FIPE) in Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Hangzhou and rest
cities of China
Hong Kong Company usually been
used as a Special Purpose vehicle (SPV) to invest Mainland China. Hong
Kong is one of the quickest locations to Incorporate a business. Although a HK
company is not a legal entity in Mainland China (Mainland China and Hong Kong,
See Wiki 1 country, 2 systems), lots foreign investors, especially investors
from Europe and North America still chose to setting up a Hong Kong company as
SPV to invest China.
After China's entry to WTO, most
industries in China welcome foreign investment, WFOE setting up in Chinabecomes the first option of foreign investment's entity structures instead
of Rep. Office setting up in China. At the mean time, for tax purpose,
effective licensing system etc more and more investors use Hong Kong as the
holding company to invest China mainland, using this offshore company to hold
their operations in China.
Business set-up in Chengdu is a big
project by itself, which requires financial and time commitments, business
management knowledge and China expertise. Identifying a competent agent to
manage the complex process will be a cost and time effective way to avoid
potential pitfalls . Tommy China Business Consulting has direct connections in

Once your business is officially
registered in Chengdu, it's required to maintain proper accounting records in
accordance with accounting standards in China and to report taxes on both
monthly (for business tax, individual income tax) and quarterly (corporate
income tax) basis. Late submissions will face penalties and surcharges.
When foreign companies come to Chengdu
to set up Small Medium Enterprises, one of the headaches is to find an
English-speaking professional accounting & tax advisory and agency firm.
Even there is help from local professionals, due to language and communication
problems, it is still hard for investors to find the correct way of investment
and to completely understand the local investment and tax policy. Furthermore,
it is hard for the foreign investors to set up a complete and legal financial
& tax system as well as the related procedures. Therefore, different kinds
of incompliant problems regarding tax and legal areas will be accumulated with
the invested company and lead to serious legal risks step by step.
A lucky investor may get the fluent
English-speaking internal accountant by recruitment, but it does not mean the
invested company no longer needs an external consultant. Due to the
professional limitation of internal accountant, particularly when it comes to
comprehensive issues regarding taxation, customs, foreign exchange, labor,
banks and so on, it is hard for the internal accountant to propose
sophisticated professional advice and options to the company’s management.
During the practical operating, many
small and medium sized companies conclude that full time cashier and full time
accountant cost a lot and create certain burden for operation. Meanwhile, as
they might not be full occupied by works due to the limited work load. To be
successful, any enterprise regardless its size often needs a financial and
accounting expertise.Outsource your accounting project to us is the best
