01
Scenario & challenge
Story setup: A German industrial-software company plans a Chengdu WFOE for Asia-Pacific clients. The board fight is capital contribution timing, business-scope wording that covers implementation and training, director rules, and which parent authorisations need legalisation. Finance wants a bookkeeper first; legal wants a step-and-document map before picking partners. Nobody wants “about two or three months” — they want a checklist calendar.
02
Possible approach
Illustrative moves: access screen under then-current FDI/registration rules; bilingual articles and appointment papers; legalisation/translation and bank onboarding touchpoints; post-setup contract/HR compliance flags. No promised approval timing or grant.
03
Limits & uncertainties
Ends at a complete dossier and process calendar; no completed registration or regulatory approval.
