Before starting up a business in China, you have to know what the options are. Foreign Investors generally establish a business presence in China in one of five ways: 1. Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprise (WFOE); 2. Partnership Enterprise (PE) 3. Representative Office; 4 . Joint Venture; and 5. Hong Kong company. The differences between each of these are summarized here: 5 modes of business presences in China.
Please check the following links for detailed and updated procedures regarding the registration of the 5 different China structures:

Although there's no min. registered capital required for most WFOEs, it's still advisable to pick up a registered capital within RMB 100,000~ RMB 500,000 (approx. 11,500 ~ 57,000 EURO) for Consulting, Service, Trading or Hi-Tech WFOE registration in cities like Guangzhou, Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen, Hangzhou, Ningbo, Tianjin, Chengdu etc. Please contact a Path To China office at the bottom of the page for practical advice if you are planning to incorporate a WFOE in China.
