Representative Office:

It is of key importance to note that a Representative Office is not a separate legal entity rather it is an extension of its parent enterprise. A Representative Office may only engage in non-profit making activities.

It can carry out the following functions:
1. Conduct research and survey for its parent enterprise in the local market;
2. Liaise with local and foreign contacts in China on behalf of the parent enterprise;
3. Conduct research and provide data and promotional materials;
4. Act as a coordinator for the parent enterprise's activities in China;
5. Make travel arrangements for potential Chinese clients;

Under no circumstances may a Representative Office do the following:
1. Directly engaged in any business for profit;
2. Sign contracts or deals on behalf of the parent enterprise;
3. Represent any firm other than its parent enterprise;
4. Collect money or issue invoice within China for services or products;
5. Buy property or import production equipment.
