What is the minimum registered capital requirement for a FIE?
The law does not specify minimum registered capital requirements for EJV, CJV or WFOE. On the other hand, the PRC Company Law requires the following minimum registered capital: (1) For limited liability companies, the minimum registered capital is RMB 30,000, unless any law or administrative regulation prescribes a higher minimum amount; (2) For one-person limited liability companies, the minimum registered capital shall be RMB 100,000; (3) For a joint stock limited company, the minimum registered capital shall be RMB 5 million, unless any law or administrative regulation provides a relatively higher minimum amount. Hence, the minimum capital requirements have to be determined in each individual case, depending on the vehicle, industry and location of business.
