Invited by China-Britain Business Council (CBBC), Lee & Lee Associates hosted a seminar in Shanghai on How to Establish a Business in China by Avoiding Common Pitfalls for CBBC members who are interested in doing business in China.
China’s rapid economic development has been attracting more and more foreign investors to come to China. In order to do business in China, the first thing is to set up a company. However, the process and required documents could be much more complex than those in other foreign countries. Why so complicated? After the company is finally incorporated, what should you be focusing on? With years of rich experience on company establishment and business consulting, Lee & Lee Associates shared the key process and pitfalls including below aspects during the process of company establishment.
