The formation and organizational structure of a business varies from one country to another. Forming a business in China is more complex than in the U.S. in terms of capital contribution, document requirements, filing process, and other formalities. In addition to market access policies, China’s government requires more information when setting up a new company.

 

After establishment, the business must focus on its internal organizational matters to make sure they are well-planned and structured. Internal organization structure involves the liabilities and responsibilities of shareholders, senior managers, as well as its external liabilities and relationship with subsidiaries, affiliates, and business partners. In recent years, China has imposed more requirements on businesses’ internal governance, particularly to those who are planning to go public. Whether big or small, businesses must shield their liabilities from shareholders, managers, employees, and third parties to avoid unnecessary complications when running the business. While planning a business operation in China, investors must pay attention to the details of its business structure for the future.
