One of the first questions you’re likely to face is: where in China should I establish my business? Given the ease and advantages of registering a company in Hong Kong, investors often consider setting up there in addition to, or instead of, the mainland. But what are the benefits and drawbacks of this type of setup? And which location is better suited to your specific business activities?

Another dilemma you’re likely to face is what type of legal entity to establish in China. Because of China’s complex regulations regarding foreign-invested corporate structures, this decision is often harder than expected. This webinar will help you clarify whether a wholly foreign owned enterprise (China WFOE) or a representative office (RO) is best suited to the strategy and activities you have in mind.
