Shanghai Foreign Investment Enterprise (FIE) registration is also called Shanghai FIE formation, Shanghai FIE setup, Shanghai FIE incorporation. Foreign Investment Enterprise (FIE) is a common method of creating a business operation in not only in Asia but also in Africa and South America. Shanghai, as an economy boosting county, greatly welcomes all kinds of legal foreign investment. Thus any one of a number of legal entities can be considered as FIEs including equity joint ventures (EJV), cooperative joint ventures (CJV), wholly-owned foreign enterprises (WFOE) and foreign-invested companies limited by shares (FCLS).
Normally a Shanghai foreign investment enterprise is set up for a specialized purpose with a specific business scope. Apart from the traditional production FIEs, foreign investors may now also set up trading FIEs, service FIEs, wholesale and retail FIEs, etc. If your group has already established a number of FIEs and is poised to make further investments in Shanghai, you may consider establishing a Shanghai holding company to centralize management, provide shared services, consolidate the distribution of goods produced by your FIEs in Shanghai and pre-market certain imported products. Upon having paid up its registered capital according to the approved schedule, your FIE company may also expands its geographical coverage by setting up branches.
