[小心地滑]

I know some people in Hefei are fairly well read on issues of this sort, therefore I'd appreciate help from those particular people. So:

Does anyone know the procedures for a foreigner wanting to successfully and legally set up a small commercial venture in Hefei? For example, what are the requirements for becoming a 'director' or similar? With your own company do you have the right to get a working visa of some description? How much investment capital is needed?

Any information is welcome!

Hi 小心地滑, I heard  it's kinda difficult for a foreigner to register a business here but much better and easier if you have a chinese partner to register on your behalf Business F visa is sure on this . And except you are working as a representative of your company here , you may not be able to get a working visa.
 
Requirements:

1. Company name( to be verified before proper registration begins)
2. Cash running up to 100,000 yuan (if not hard currency)
3. Office address
4. ID card
  There are others I cannot be sure of, I hope guys can add to this list.

It's a catch 22 at times as you need to have the business premises before you register.

u dont really need 100,000rmb to set up a company, the least to set up an company account is 30,000rmb. if u go through an agency, they will help u to set up a company account which means u can save u at least 30000rmb, but u need to pay the agency some money (depends on how much ur account values)which is not much.
