Difference Between RO and WFOE

RO's are the fastest and easiest method for a foreign company to establish a presence or ‘footprint’ in China (setup time in some cases less than a month). RO's are however not permitted to conduct direct profit-making activities (cannot earn income), and really is meant for marketing of the parent company.

For WFOE’s, the investors are purely foreign are quickly becoming the most popular method of foreign investment in China. While foreign companies once thought that a local partner was required by law to operate business in China, this is not increasing not the case in a wide range of industries, with its many advantages, including: a) Management control; b) Simpler establishment procedures; c) Easier to terminate; d) Easier to increase investment; e) Protection of intellectual property.

So depending on the scope of work, (i.e. profit making, marketing?) the China office wishes to do, it contribute in the determination of which vehicle you wish to you us.

You may email me with any other questions of setting up.
