The European Chamber in Shanghai is pleased to welcome you to our first Breakfast Seminar for small and medium sized enterprises on Changing Your Company's Legal Status. This seminar will explore the legal and tax implications of "turning" a Representative Office into a JV, WFOE, FICE or even closing it down. This event will also provide tips and warnings on a number of key aspects that have to be considered before establishing a company in China, anticipating future changes in company status and cessation of activities. We are pleased to welcome the following speakers:

The SME Working Group
The event is at the same time the initial meeting for an SMEs Working Group that will offer a platform for European SMEs to network, exchange views and experience, and especially join efforts to relay their concerns to the Chinese Government. Similar to the SMEs Working Group in Beijing this Working Group would be event-driven, aiming at providing regular updates and practical information about developments in a Chinese business environment particularly challenging for moderate size operators.
