8. WOFE Registered CapitalThe time when China used to require minimum registered capital for WOFEs is gone. Everything in China is now being shaped to promote foreign investment, this means regulations are constantly being changed and improved to enhance the business environment. Since March 1, 2014, the statutory minimum was waived for almost all types of WOFEs. Certain high-profile business scopes still have statutory minimum registered capital amounts. For instance, financial companies must have at least US$10M in registered capital. However, if you fall under a normal consulting company or if your business is import/export related, then you have nothing to worry about.
Nevertheless, is important to mention that after regulations changes in 2014 the new rules eliminated the minimum register capital requirement, but is still highly recommend, also common sense, that you to keep the amount of registered capital close to a realist assessment of the company’s operational proportions.
You will not be required to immediately make a deposit for the full amount of registered capital. The new default is that the registered capital can be paid within 30 years of the business license being issued.
