Here's reference I recevied:
Questions:
• Approximately how long did it take to get your company to registered in China from first contact with approval to “Path to China” to proceed? IT TOOK ABOUT 2 MONTHS TO GET THE BIZ REGISTRATION DOCUMENT
• If you had to do this process again - would you use “Path to China” and why? YES. THEY WERE VERY HELPFUL AND ACCOMMODATING. THE SERVICE WAS VERY PERSONALIZED. I HAD THE MOBILE PHONE NUMBERS OF ALL THE KEY PEOPLE AND I COULD CALL THEM ANYTIME. THEY RESPONDED VERY QUICKLY ON ALL MY QUERIES.
• Did you find the overall process reasonably easy and straight forward as presented by “Path to China”? Did they help facilitate the process on your behalf completing forms etc. or simply provide a set of steps to follow? YES. THEY EVEN HELPED MY CREATED MY CHINESE COMPANY NAME USING SUITABLE CHINESE CHARACTERS THAT MATCHED THE SOUND OF THE ENGLISH NAME.
• Did “Path to China” follow up on a regular basis, and steer you through the “red tape” in a simple and clear way? YES, THEY WOULD FIND SOLUTIONS TO OVERCOME BARRIERS.
• Were they sensitive to your time frame? YES
• What was the biggest “added value” provided by “Path to China in your opinion? I WORK FROM HOME SO I DO NOT HAVE A OFFICE ADDRESS.

They have most comprehensive site I have ever seen about how to setup a business in China. Well Done, Simon
We have Path to China to registered our company in Shanghai. Mr. Li and his team are most helpful. Mr. Li was able to answer any questions that we had or concerns and explain them well.
They took care of everything. What is important is that you have to ask all the questions so that you have a full understanding of what is involved. All them major legal documents that you sign for the registration have the English version provided by Path to China
The was not red tape to be experienced in the process as Path to China handles all the proceedings. What is a bit bureaucratic is when you go and set up your bank account. It is important that the bank you choose have personnel that speaks fluent English and can explain all the requirements. For this I mean really fluent English just conversational English is not enough as they make certain assumptions that you will do as you are told rather than explain the process so that you understand what you are need to do as it involves so many kinds of chops/stamps (company, personal, financial, invoice chops/stamps).
For the company registration, everything for our case went very smoothly and faster than anticipated. I guess this owed to the fact that we take care to provide all the documents to Mr. Li as requested. (or in the manner as requested with the proper endorsements etc.)
Mr. Li is very down to earth and you can speak frankly with him regarding any concerns that you might have. As we also use his other services such as accounts and payroll, he was also able to give us advice on such matters.
