What is the procedure for setting up a Representative Office (RO) in China?
RO is the easiest type of foreign investment structure to set up and has no registered capital requirements. The defining characteristic of an RO is its limited business scope: non-profit making business activities related to its parent office. Companies that intend to register a RO must be at least two years old. The registration certificate for a RO is only valid for one year.
