Cost of Establishing a Foreign-Funded Company in China： A Comprehensive Guide

Setting up a foreign-funded company in China offers access to a dynamic market, but understanding the associated costs and compliance requirements is critical. As a trusted partner for international investors, Shenzhen Yifan Consulting Co., Ltd. (一帆顾问) provides transparent and efficient solutions to simplify the process. This guide breaks down key expenses, timelines, and services to help you navigate the setup of your business in Shenzhen.

The total cost of establishing a foreign-funded company in China depends on your business structure and operational needs. Below are common expenses:

1. Company Registration: Yifan Consulting offers free registration services for foreign-funded enterprises in Shenzhen, including preparation of legal documents and liaison with local authorities.

2. Official Seals: Clients receive free company印章 (stamps) as part of the registration package, typically processed within 2 working days.

3. Business Address: For companies without a local office, a business秘书 address is required, priced at 3,000 RMB/year. This ensures compliance with Shenzhen’s registration regulations.
