Management Measures for Overseas Investment of Enterprises+Yue Shang Gui [2025] No. 1 Document

1、 Guangzhou's Characteristics and Regulatory Highlights

🚀 Core advantages of the Bay Area ✅ Free Trade Zone dividend: Nansha enterprises enjoy the "come and do" channel, with complete materials and processing time of up to 3 days. ✅ Material simplification: By 2025, the application materials will be reduced by 40%, and audit reports will no longer require proof of debt ratio. ✅ Flexible funding: The cross-border financing limit has been increased to twice the net assets (exclusive to Nansha).

⚠️ Strict Audit Warning (VS Shanghai/Beijing)

2、 Step by step process and clearance strategy 1 Registration with the National Development and Reform Commission (5-7 working days)

Jurisdiction rules:

<300 million USD project → Online review by Guangdong Provincial Development and Reform Commission

Nansha Enterprises → Direct access to the "One Stop Service" system (with a speed increase of 30%).

High incidence of returns: The equity structure has not penetrated to the actual controller (equity chain diagram needs to be provided).

2. Filing with the Commerce Bureau (3-5 working days)

Regional division review:

+Nansha Enterprises → District Government Service Bureau (ready to go)

+Other districts → Guangzhou Municipal Bureau of Commerce (standard process)

-Wrong submission requires queuing again!   

Certificate validity: Invalid if not remitted within 2 years (consistent with Beijing).

3. Foreign exchange registration (processed by banks)

Capital limit:>10 million US dollars require tax payment proof (more lenient than Beijing/Shanghai).

Remitting in installments: A 'Fund Use Plan' must be submitted.

3、 Material List (Standard) ⭐ Simplified project for Guangzhou
material Guangzhou requirements Comparison between Shanghai and Beijing
Audit Report ⭐ Only the basic version is required (no debt ratio requirement) Beijing needs to annotate the calculation process of net assets
Feasibility Study Report ⭐ Manufacturing projects are exempt from submission Shanghai Free Trade Zone needs a simplified version
Proof of funding source ⭐ > 10 million US dollars require tax payment voucher Beijing requires over 5 million yuan
Articles of Association of Overseas Companies Notarization and certification are required (consistent with nationwide standards) Shanghai requires a bilingual version in both Chinese and English

💡 Alternative solution:

Insufficient net assets → Parent company guarantee (limited to Nansha high-tech enterprises).
