# China Business Setup & Operational Support

InterBridge maps the requirements for **China company setup** and administration, prepares documents and coordinates qualified providers, so **foreign founders and businesses** see each step, dependency and decision.

## A good fit if

- You are deciding whether to set up a **company or representative office** in China
- You already have a China entity and need **bilingual help** with administrative tasks
- You need contracts, compliance tasks or an office arrangement coordinated with **qualified specialists**

## What we coordinate

- **Setup pathway coordination**: We map your **planned activities**, location, ownership, staffing and licensing questions before documents are prepared, and list which decisions need a qualified adviser.
- **Administrative operations**: We coordinate **defined tasks** such as address options, document collection, banking preparation, accounting handover and recurring-task reminders.
- **Contract and specialist coordination**: We organize bilingual documents and coordinate **qualified specialists** for legal, tax, intellectual-property or other tasks that require them.

## What you receive

- **Requirements and dependency checklist** for your activities and city
- **Document request list** with a status tracker
- **Coordination with confirmed providers**, where the task needs them
- **Written next-step summary** of your decisions and the third-party items outstanding

## How it works

1. **Describe the activity**: Clarify your products or services, customers, revenue flows, staff, **location** and timeline.
2. **Map the pathway**: Identify the likely registrations, documents, providers and decisions, and what each **depends on**.
3. **Coordinate execution**: Track the agreed submissions, appointments, translations and **professional workstreams**.
4. **Hand over**: Provide a status record and a **recurring-task list** for the agreed scope.

## What we need from you

- **Planned business activities** and target city
- **Ownership**, directors, staff and expected hiring
- Customer, supplier, invoicing and **payment flows**
- Target start date, plus any **existing entity** or documents

## Scope and limits

- Entity type, licensing, tax, visa, banking and timing *depend on* current rules and on authority or provider acceptance.
- InterBridge is *not a law firm*, accounting firm, bank, government authority or immigration authority.
- Legal, tax, accounting, intellectual-property and other regulated work is performed or confirmed by *suitably qualified third parties*.

## Common questions

- Q: How much does it cost to set up a company in China?
  A: The total depends on the entity type, city, business activities, office address, professional fees and bank requirements, so InterBridge does not publish a single figure. An agent quotes the coordination work **per scope** before you commit. Government fees and the charges of lawyers, accountants and other providers are *separate* and confirmed with you.
- Q: How long does China company registration take?
  A: The timeline depends on the entity type, the city, your business activities, whether licenses are needed, how quickly documents are ready and how quickly authorities and banks process them. InterBridge *cannot promise a date*, but the requirements checklist and document tracker show which items decide the schedule. Timing is confirmed against **current requirements**.
- Q: Can I set up a company in China without living there?
  A: Preparation can often be done **remotely**. Some steps, such as signing, identity checks or opening a bank account, may need you or an *authorized representative* in person, depending on the city and the bank. InterBridge maps which steps apply to your case so you can plan travel or delegation.
- Q: What is a WFOE, and do I need one?
  A: A *WFOE* (wholly foreign-owned enterprise) is a company registered in China and owned entirely by foreign investors. Whether you need one, or a representative office or another structure, depends on the activities you plan. InterBridge maps the questions to settle, and a **qualified adviser** confirms the right entity before anything is filed.
- Q: Can InterBridge guarantee company registration or a bank account?
  A: **No.** Authorities and banks make their own decisions, and rules differ by city and over time. InterBridge prepares information, tracks submissions and makes dependencies visible, so you know what each decision rests on. Where an application needs a provider or adviser, InterBridge coordinates that professional and *does not replace* them.
- Q: Does InterBridge give legal or tax advice?
  A: **No.** InterBridge provides operational coordination and is *not a law firm*, accounting firm or government authority. For advice in a regulated field, such as legal, tax, accounting or intellectual property, InterBridge coordinates a suitably qualified professional. Regulated filings are made or confirmed by qualified third parties.
