📋 Request Free Reinvestment ConsultationForeign reinvestment (外商投资企业再投资) occurs when an existing foreign-invested enterprise in China — such as a WFOE or Sino-foreign joint venture — uses its own capital or profits to invest in a new Chinese company or acquire equity in an existing domestic enterprise. The company created through this reinvestment is treated as a foreign-invested enterprise under Chinese law and enjoys the same rights and protections as any other foreign-invested company. However, the reinvestment process requires specific MOFCOM filing (or record-filing with the local commerce bureau) and SAMR registration to be legally recognized. Without proper reinvestment filing, the new subsidiary cannot obtain its business license, receive the capital injection, or operate legally. The reinvestment must also comply with the Negative List and any industry-specific foreign ownership restrictions that apply to the target sector.
Our reinvestment filing service manages the entire process for your WFOE — from the initial investment structure assessment and MOFCOM filing through SAMR registration and post-investment compliance. With TEK China, you can expand your China business through reinvestment with full legal protection and regulatory compliance.
We assess your proposed reinvestment structure against the Negative List and industry regulations to confirm eligibility and identify any restrictions or additional approvals needed.
We prepare and submit the foreign reinvestment filing to MOFCOM or the local commerce bureau, including the investment agreement, WFOE board resolution, and target company information.
We register the new foreign-invested subsidiary with the AMR, obtain the business license, and complete the standard post-licensing procedures (tax registration, bank account opening, etc.).
We coordinate the capital injection verification with a CPA firm and ensure all post-investment reporting obligations to MOFCOM, SAFE, and the tax bureau are fulfilled.

To complete a foreign reinvestment filing, your WFOE typically needs to prepare (we assist with all document drafting and submission):
The typical foreign reinvestment filing process takes 6 to 10 weeks from document preparation to full subsidiary registration. The MOFCOM filing and SAMR registration generally take 4 to 6 weeks, while capital verification and post-licensing procedures (tax registration, bank account opening) add an additional 2 to 4 weeks. If the target industry is restricted under the Negative List, additional approval steps may extend the timeline.
Cost factors include government filing fees, capital verification charges, new subsidiary registration costs, and professional service fees. We provide a fixed-price proposal after understanding your reinvestment structure — no hidden costs.
