Setting Up Business in China

China is a daunting market to enter and not just because of its language and its various dialects.  China is geographically vast, culturally diverse and new-comers to the China business market need to research the market and consider the following:

  • where their best operating base would be;
  • how best initially to structure their company;
  • where would be the relevant and cost effective labour pool;
  • how good would be the local transport links to facilitate exportation of products and services;
  • what would be the imposed tax regime and foreign company business incentives and
  • where would they find suitable lawyers.

The purpose of this section about China is to provide local information about key geographical areas. Information about different areas in China can be accessed from the menu on the left hand side of the page. Downloadable fact sheets are provided for Beijing, Shanghai and Chongqing and their environs. Similar information for other regions in China will be added shortly.
