One of the industry told reporters that many companies In addition to local agencies to find registered offshore companies, but also through Hangzhou, Ningbo, Shanghai and other relevant agencies, in Hong Kong, Panama and other offshore companies registered.

Such as Hong Kong Special Administrative Region last year, Invest Hong Kong had set up booths to the Fair, Yiwu entrepreneurs to promote Hong Kong's investment environment. Yiwu enterprises in order to attract more settled, when the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Economic and Trade Office in Shanghai, Investment Promotion Manager of meditation peak as "investors, even if only a dollar, you can set up a company in Hong Kong" as the referral point.
Why companies offshore companies keen
Yiwu International Trade City, a nearby Hu, general manager of foreign trade companies, told reporters, after he spent 6,000 yuan Hangzhou agency through a register at a Hong Kong offshore company. He said the purpose of doing so, he is very simple, that is, in order to more easily collect dollars to foreign money.
It is understood that Mr. Hu offshore registered company, on behalf of the new company registered in the domestic bank a "offshore accounts." "The U.S. national accounts have a certain foreign exchange controls, comparison, off-shore accounts more freely into and out of the U.S.." He also told reporters that the current Shanghai, Shanghai Pudong, Shenzhen Development, International Bank of Ningbo have opened " off-shore account "of the business.
Of course, an off-shore U.S. dollar accounts into yuan, into individual accounts in China has some limits. Specific for, a personal account can only USD 50,000 settlement.

Negative aspects can not be ignored
While many companies, the offshore company has a number of advantages. However, in recent years, the large number of offshore companies or have had some negative effects. According to one industry source, a number of products that clearly have a full set of production from the technical supervision of the factory, Yiwu, but in the product label marked "Hong Kong produced a certain company" message. In fact, the Hong Kong company is very likely that the company's money to spend several thousand dollars to set up an offshore company only.
"To the territory of foreign investment and generally enjoy the local taxation, land acquisition policies and so on." The industry has also told reporters that, therefore, after a number of domestic enterprises still exist in law in the off-shore shell companies set up, and then return to domestic investment, so as to reduce the cost of the investment. Of course, in order to avoid this phenomenon, a few years ago, Jinhua City, has been introduced to regulate the relevant policies.
The domestic economy more scholars Mei Xinyu, a survey in the report, the provision of services for the offshore company offshore financial center, the existence of 5 negative impact, namely: for the corrupt elements, bad businessmen misappropriation of state assets and public property ways; to promote further expansion of the scale of capital flight, and then on the RMB exchange rate arrangements and the operation of monetary policy to exert great pressure; investment potential controversy; enterprises inflated inflated assets and operating results of fraud; foreign shifted financial risks.
Intermediary should be careful to choose
At present, Yiwu want to register more and more off-shore company's business, but experts advise, business in the registration process should also be cautious.
These experts said that Yiwu business agent for the registration of offshore companies are mostly overseas intermediary agencies to set up an agency or branch, law firms, registered investment banks. However, these agencies have their own advantages and disadvantages.
They said that one of the overseas intermediary agencies in China to open a branch or intermediary agents to collect a relatively low cost, but registration of such institutions, small enterprises choice. Acting as some Hong Kong companies registered offshore companies, usually only to customers in Hong Kong recommended the establishment of offshore companies, and will only be on their side edge. In fact, for enterprises, should be based on the needs of their own choice of offshore jurisdictions.
In addition, the law firm during the registration process will enable enterprises to reduce legal risk, but the higher the fees charged. And registration of investment banking services with a personalized, specific characteristics, but its main customer base is targeted at a certain strength and the development prospects of the individual owners.
Yiwu Wang a law firm, a lawyer to remind the relevant enterprise, rather than the relative authority of the intermediary institutions, prior to the registration of offshore companies, enterprises should also be registered to a comprehensive understanding of the relevant tax laws, exchange control, financial policies, laws and so on, should not blind to the tax relief system for the selection of registration, but should be able to help select the best company in the register to register.
