Factory Setup and Foreign Investment Support in China
Setting up a factory in China requires more than finding premises. Investment access, industrial clusters, process requirements, logistics, staffing and long-term costs must be assessed together. EasySail connects location and site comparison with entity setup, tax compliance, equipment, recruitment and production readiness. We are based in Foshan, focus on Guangdong and the Greater Bay Area, and coordinate professional resources for projects elsewhere in China.
Who are our services suitable for?
For foreign-invested businesses planning a new factory, production transfer or expansion in China , focusing on investment feasibility, location comparison, entity setup and production readiness.
Foreign companies entering China with a first factory
Compare target cities, industrial clusters, premises, staffing and long-term costs before choosing the investment location and entry structure.
International companies adding or transferring capacity to China
Plan the location, entity, equipment, supply chain and operational dependencies for a new or transferred production line in China.
Foreign-invested companies expanding within China

How we help you move forward
We connect your China investment plan with a location decision, setup sequence and practical list of pre-production tasks.
1. Which China location best fits the project?
We compare cities and sites against your process, equipment, logistics, staffing, utilities and cost requirements, and flag matters that need specialist assessment.
2. Lease and adapt, or buy land and build?
We compare leasing, adaptation and new-build options against premises use, operating needs and the project budget.
3. How should setup, approvals and production readiness be sequenced?
We develop a phased plan linking foreign-invested entity setup, construction, local approvals, equipment, tax and finance, staffing and supply-chain preparation.

Frequently asked questions
Q:How long does it take a foreign company to set up a factory in China?
There is no single timeline for every city or factory. The schedule should distinguish investment access and site due diligence, entity establishment, construction or refurbishment, equipment installation and applicable approvals and inspections. Land and premises conditions, production processes, environmental requirements and fire safety all affect timing. Confirm the target location and site feasibility first; business licence processing time alone cannot predict the start of production.
Q:Which Chinese city is suitable for a foreign-invested factory?
Check current policies and application notices according to the project's industry, investment size, technology, land use and district. Incentives have eligibility requirements and procedures; the maximum subsidy advertised should not be treated as the amount available to a particular project. List potentially applicable programmes, then verify eligibility, documents and payment conditions with the competent departments.
