Setting up a representative office (RO) has been a very popular vehicle for many foreign enterprises as their initial step going into the China business markets. In comparing to setting up a company in China, it costs much less and faster in establishing a RO. There is no capital requirement and the total time taken will be in about 60 working days, including the application for the Certificate of the Leasing Registration.
In general, the RO is of key importance to note that a Representative Office is not a separate legal entity rather it is an extension of its parent enterprise. A Representative Office may only engage in non-profit making activities.
It can carry out the following functions:
- Conduct research and survey for its parent enterprise in the local market;
- Liaise with local and foreign contacts in China on behalf of the parent enterprise;
- Conduct research and provide data and promotional materials to potential clients or trading partners;
- Act as a coordinator for the parent enterprise’s activities in China;
- Make travel arrangements for parent enterprise representatives and potential Chinese clients;
Under no circumstances may a Representative Office do the following:
- Directly engaged in any business for profit;
- Sign contracts or deals on behalf of the parent enterprise;
- Represent any firm other than its parent enterprise;
- Collect money or issue invoice within China f or services or products;
- Buy property or import production equipment;
- Representative Office Registration Procedures.
