If you would like to get your business in China off to a good start then you may wish to consider establishing your own office in China, giving your company an independent legal entity in the market. Your representative office would enable your company to build a brand and identity in China; manage your contacts and suppliers; research new business opportunities and, generally, represent your company’s interests in China. You may have already benefited from CBBC's Launchpad scheme, in which case, a representative office may be the next natural step for your company to grow independently in the market.
A representative office allows you to have a legal presence in China via a fully registered premises and brand name. A nominated Chief Representative will manage the office on behalf of your company and will become your legal representative in China.
Setting up a representative office in China can be a laborious task and it is important that you are aware of all the processes and receive the right support and guidance. Despite the national government imposing the guidelines on the approval procedure for setting up a representative office, local authorities have the authority to interpret these guidelines individually and this can mean that, in most cases, the process differs from city to city.
With CBBC’s long history and unrivalled experience in China, we can offer a hand-holding service, guiding you through each part of the process and offering practical support on the ground in both the UK and China. We have a streamlined process and the right contacts with government departments and other officials to help you set up your representative office in the shortest possible time and with the minimum of fuss. We will take care of the practical details so that you can concentrate on getting your business up and running.
