FDI China <\/span><\/a>is a privately held corporate service provider based in Shanghai. Established in 2016, its services are aimed at assisting foreign companies to establish and develop their presence in China. It provides end-to-end solutions and covers a range of services, including company registration, accounting, tax compliance, payroll, visa and work permit services, and entity termination. The company\u2019s proposition is a transparent, cost-effective solution for foreign SMEs looking to enter the Chinese market as quickly and smoothly as possible. The team is fluent in English and Chinese and has offices in key locations within China and in select interntional locations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

In this review, we\u2019ll look at what support FDI China offers to clients, from advisory to setup, compliance, and operations capability, as well as at the firm\u2019s pricing, strengths and weaknesses, USPs, and final verdict.<\/span><\/p>

FDI China\u2019s Key Services<\/span><\/h2>

FDI China provides a full range of corporate services that guide foreign businesses at all stages, from start-up to exit, helping foreign investors go through each stage of market entry or expansion and make their business fully operational and compliant in China.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

1. Advisory Services<\/span><\/h3>

FDI China’s “All-In-One Market Entry Package” can be seen as a form of comprehensive advisory, as it helps the client set up an entity and maintain it with tax and HR compliance for the client to be “risk-free and ready for growth.”\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Finally, the option to \u201c<\/span>Consult an Expert<\/span><\/a>\u201d via their website suggests one-on-one advisory. This would suggest an embedded, advisory business model that is built around the client and offers advice at every stage of the market entry and operations process. From a client perspective, this may be both continuous support and expertise rather than the one-time consulting engagements that can have a very limited shelf life, particularly in a market as dynamic as China, and this would suggest a very bespoke delivery of their services.<\/span><\/p>

2. Capability Development<\/span><\/h3>

From helping businesses set up legal entities to providing banking and tax compliance services and licensing support, FDI China makes it easier for businesses to start operations and be up and running in China. This frees up time and resources that businesses can then dedicate to growing their operations.<\/span><\/p>

For example, establishing a Wholly Foreign-Owned Enterprise (WFOE) allows businesses to have 100% ownership of the entity and the people behind the WFOE, a key factor in tangible growth. Tax and accounting support from a company with many decades of experience can mitigate tax and compliance risks and free up business time and resources to focus on higher-leverage growth efforts. Payroll and HR services can also be a critical support to help businesses manage people and stay compliant with local labor laws with little to no effort on the business’s part.<\/span><\/p>

As part of its services, FDI China also supports the Chinese e-commerce market access by helping clients to open an online shop on the most important platforms, such as JD.com, Douyin, and XiaoHongShu. Access to the local e-commerce platforms is essential for reaching out to the local customer base and further expanding business operations. Furthermore, FDI China also provides services related to changes in the company structure, such as changing the registered capital or the scope of business.<\/span><\/p>

3. Entity Formation<\/span><\/h3>

Entity formation is one of the primary services that FDI China provides to foreign businesses. With the help of FDI China, foreign businesses can choose an appropriate and legally compliant business structure in China.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

FDI China provides registration services for the following entity types in China:<\/span><\/p>
