In this issue of China Briefing, we take a look at some procedures for establishing a presence in China. From choosing an operational model to properly setting up that legal entity, this issue is a primer for those interested in setting up a business on the mainland. We provide a practical introduction to the four main legal entities in China: the representative office, the wholly foreign-owned enterprise, the foreign-invested commercial enterprise and the joint venture. Deciding which of these structures to use will very much effect how one is able to operate, and choosing the correct one to meet the specific needs of a company is the first step in setting up a business in China.
