In practice, Horizons assist foreign companies with the incorporation of a Joint-Venture if seeking to bring the one of 4 below features to their China operations:
- Market Penetration your company is seeking partnership with a local company in order to make the most of their existing local facilities, business channels, networks, as well as the Chinese labor force.
- Accessing a China-owned Industry some sectors of activities are highly regulated by the Chinese government and strictly restricted to foreign businesses. Your company is looking to form a Joint-Venture with a local stakeholder in order to access one of these China-restricted industries.
- Navigating the Chinese Administration administrative procedures are very complex and time-consuming for non-experienced businesses in China. While most companies collaborate with payroll and tax compliance providers, or HR partners, the establishment a Joint-Venture would allow your company to benefit directly from a Chinese counterpart in order to manage bureaucratic complexities and government relationships.
- Combining Strategic Assets & Objectives China has been often described as a singular market widely open to western products and services, while run by national behemoths which understand better its consumer base; on the other hand, a joint-venture would directly benefit your company thanks to your Chinese counterpart’s different commercial interests, as well as the strength of sharing resources, management and technologies.
