Two. Q: what is the minimum amount of registered capital to apply for a Sino foreign joint venture? Can the registered capital of this company be realized by installment payment? If so, what is the maximum proportion of installment payment and how long is the time limit?

A: except for certain industries, the minimum registered capital requirements for foreign invested enterprises are not provided for the minimum registered capital of a joint venture. In practice, it is generally $200 thousand, and in some development zones there is a lower level, such as $140 thousand.

Foreign invested enterprises are different from domestic funded enterprises. Domestic funded enterprises require capital verification and registration, so they can not invest in installments, but the registered capital of foreign invested enterprises can be phased in place.

In the joint venture contract, it is stipulated that the first phase contribution of the parties to the joint venture shall not be less than 15% of the amount of capital contributions subscribed, and shall be paid within three months from the date of issuance of the business license.

As for the longest period, it will not exceed three years in principle.

If the registered capital exceeds ten million dollars, the time limit for capital contribution shall be examined and approved by the examining and approving organ according to the actual situation.

Three, Q: overseas companies are going to open up business in China. What is the difference in policy between establishing offices, branches and subsidiaries in China? Are there any restrictions on business? What are the preferential policies? Which way should be adopted to be more beneficial to the company?

A: the representative office of foreign enterprises is only a liaison organization. It can not engage in business activities. Of course, it does not enjoy preferential policies. The branch does not have a legal person qualification, it is only a branch of a foreign company, nor does it enjoy preferential policies. Usually, only a specific industry can be established in the form of a branch. Generally speaking, the establishment of a subsidiary by a foreign enterprise in China means the establishment of a wholly foreign-owned enterprise. It is a Chinese enterprise legal person enjoying China's preferential policies to encourage foreign investment.

What form to take depends on the strategic conception of foreign enterprises entering the Chinese market and the actual demand of enterprises. {page_break} can not be generalized.
