The "outer packaging" of Hong Kong companies
After registering a Hong Kong company, it can actually be listed directly in the Mainland, but it only needs external packaging. There are two main packing methods:
1, set up Sino-foreign joint ventures or wholly foreign-owned enterprises.
Conceptually, a wholly foreign-owned enterprise refers to an enterprise established in China and invested only by foreign investors according to the laws of China. Wholly foreign-owned enterprises belong to domestic enterprises and can be directly listed and operated.
One drawback of this packaging method is that it is impossible to issue formal bills to domestic companies. Therefore, the Hong Kong company packaged in this way still has no direct management right in China, but it can be realized by solving the bill link.
Specific operation:
? Set up a representative office in the mainland in the name of a Hong Kong company. In the final analysis, a representative office is just a business contact point, which is mainly used to contact customers. The account of the representative office is not used externally, and the original Hong Kong company is still used to collect money or sign contracts.
If you want to actually rent office space when operating in the mainland, you can invest in the mainland in the name of a Hong Kong company and apply for the establishment of a Sino-foreign joint venture or a wholly foreign-owned enterprise. This needs to be filed by the Industrial and Commercial Bureau and the Economic and Trade Bureau.
Operational analysis: This packaging method can achieve the purpose of listing in the mainland after registering a Hong Kong company, but the cost is high and the application procedure is complicated, which is generally suitable for enterprises with certain background or economic strength.
At the same time, to register a wholly foreign-owned enterprise, you need to go to the local embassy for notarization (Hongkong is issued by the notary association entrusted by China), then go to the Foreign Economic and Trade Commission for project approval, and then go to the industrial and commercial and tax authorities for registration. The most important issue here is capital verification, which requires capital verification of Hong Kong companies. This is something that many enterprises do not want to happen. If you only operate in China and do not need to set up an office, you can directly apply for registration of a Hong Kong company.
2. The form of overseas brand authorization
Another packaging method is overseas brand authorization. The operation method is relatively simple, mainly registering a trademark in the name of a Hong Kong company, and then signing a trademark authorization agreement with its own domestic company, saying that the brand is held by an overseas company and authorized to be used in the mainland, so as to achieve the purpose of legal listing.
Specific operation:
First of all, you can register a Hong Kong company (for example, Hong Kong Company) as the company's headquarters in Hong Kong, make use of the characteristics of Hong Kong's international city, build an international brand, and at the same time improve the company's external image.
Then, Hong Kong companies authorize mainland companies to produce, sell and represent their branded products, so that branded products can be legally produced and sold in China, and at the same time, they can quickly occupy the market by joining agents and become well-known overseas companies through packaging.
? The above is a detailed introduction of whether a registered Hong Kong company can be directly listed in the Mainland. In addition, after registering a Hong Kong company, the export of goods must generally be carried out through a foreign trade company or a factory with import and export rights, and the Hong Kong company still plays the role of a bridge.
