What should WOFE do after registration? When you get all the Certificates/Licenses and stamps, it doesn’t mean you can use the WOFE immediately. However, you can sign contracts for sure.
To make full use of a WOFE and maintain it in a proper way, the few things listed below should be done after Shanghai WOFE Registration:
1. Open bank account;
Basic Account: Every company including WOFE in China should have a bank account, such bank account mainly refers to the Basic Account, with which you receive payment and pay expenses & cost and employees’ payroll, tax, etc. So, a Basic Account must be open, and it cannot be closed unless de-register your WOFE. With all Certificates/Licenses and stamps we provided and the original Passport/ID card of the legal representative, you will be able to open a Basic Account all by yourself, however there will be many forms to fill in in the bank, and they are in CHINESE. Thus, if you are not able to fill in the forms, we can open the Basic Account for you, and a certain amount service fee will be charged.
Capital Account: For a WOFE, even though the Registered Capital can be paid up in 20 or 30 years, if you want to start up, it will cost you a certain amount of start-up capital. This is the time when the investors should inject start-up capital from overseas with USD/Euro/HKD/GBP… Such capital is the so-called investment capital, and should be injected into the Capital Account. After capital injection, you should exchange the capital into CNY and put it in your Basic Account, and then you can pay expenses & cost and employees’ payroll, tax, etc. for your WOFE. Just like Basic Account, if you are not able to open the Basic Account, we can do it for you and a certain amount service fee will be charged.
*Foreign Currency Account: Foreign Currency Account is for Import & Export companies mainly. For international traders, a Foreign Currency Account, will help your company to receive international payment easily. There’s no doubt that a Basic Account can receive international payment, but for Basic Account, each international payment should settle the exchange to receive the payment, and if the exchange was not settled in time, the payment would be revoked. Foreign Currency Account CAN ONLY be opened after Import & Export registration.
