A German friend of mine wants to open a coffee shop in Beijing or Qinhuangdao. What procedures do foreigners need to go through to open a shop and how to do it?

What are you talking about? The answer is very confusing.

1. As long as he registers a new company before leaving this company, his visa can be changed directly. No need to reapply.

2. If you invest by yourself, it is a wholly foreign-owned enterprise, and you need a personal passport, photo and credit certificate. You can find an agent to register and help him register.

3. The size of the store is not directly proportional to the registered capital. How big it is depends on your own strength.

4. Early investment, probably including registered companies as agents, renting stores, decorating stores and buying equipment. This is a lot of money.

You should have a number in mind and run more things yourself. Don't be fooled by dirty agents.

Good luck ~ ~ ~
