For most ordinary companies in China, there is generally no fixed statutory minimum registered capital. The company law framework says registered capital is the amount subscribed by the shareholders, and special minimum-capital rules apply only where other laws, administrative regulations, or State Council decisions specifically require them. Shanghai’s official company-registration guidance also states that subscribed registered capital has no minimum amount requirement.
What matters more now is the contribution deadline. Under the current Company Law, shareholders of a limited liability company must fully contribute their subscribed capital within 5 years from the company’s establishment date.
For existing companies formed before June 30, 2024, if the remaining contribution period would still exceed 5 years starting from July 1, 2027, they generally need to adjust it by June 30, 2027.
There are still exceptions for regulated sectors. SAMR’s FAQ notes that some industries continue to have special capital or paid-in rules, such as certain financial institutions, securities/futures businesses, insurance-related entities, labor dispatch companies, and some other specially regulated businesses.
There is usually no general minimum registered capital for a standard China company, but shareholders must now pay subscribed capital within 5 years, unless the business falls under a specially regulated industry.
