Shenzhen Company Registration Requirements
1. Shenzhen company format: Shenzhen government has a name format for anyone who wants to setup a company in China, the format is: City name + trade name + business scope+ limited. If using the province name or even using “China” instead of the city name, the name should be applied in the province authority or Beijing. And only Chinese company names are officially used, while English names are for reference only. Any names are subject to the approval of relevant authority.

Investors can decide the amount of registered capital by themselves. And the capital could be paid up within 30 years from the date of issue of Business License.

For some sectors such as education, logistics, medicine and food industries, pre-approval license is needed before we enter into normal processes.
