An Representative Office is a liaison office of its parent company. It requires no registered capital. Its activities are limited to non-profit making activities, such as product or service promotion, market research of parent company's business, quality control or contact liaison in China. An Representative Office is generally prohibited from entering into contracts with local businesses in China.
It is the fastest way to start up in China. Business License can be obtained within 5 days.
As for registration fee, it is also a little lower.
To register an Representative Office, an actual registration address will be required and we can also help
