However, foreigners can register a wholly-owned company in Chinese mainland, or they can register joint ventures and cooperative enterprises in cooperation with enterprises as legal persons in China.
In addition, tax registration, financial registration and so on are needed. If foreigners are employed in it, they need to register for employment of foreigners and so on.
There are many procedures and departments to go, and it takes some time to prepare and operate. For example, for a industrial and commercial registration, there is a pre-approved name (including website verification, etc. ), registration, capital verification, lettering and so on. Enterprises run by foreigners must first be approved by the Bureau of Trade and Industry to see if the industries they intend to enter are allowed.
I suggest you go to the local industry and commerce, taxation, finance and other departments to find out the specific procedures. Don't be afraid of trouble. The functional departments of China municipal government are complicated. Without one link, your store will not open.
I hope I can help you have a happy New Year and give you my best wishes.
