Foreign Investment Company Establishment Case_Korea-China Joint Venture Company Investment of Less than 100 Million KRW

We would like to introduce a case of foreign investment company registration recently completed by Law Firm Hwaeum. This is an example of a foreign-invested corporation established through a joint venture between Korean and Chinese individuals.

Establishment of a foreign investment corporation

• Company Name: OOO Co., Ltd.

• Investment Ratio: Korea 6 : China 4

• Investment capital: 10 million won

• Date of Establishment: May 8, 2026

• Key Documents for Process:

  • 1. Securities Acquisition Report

  • 2. Business Registration Certificate

OOO Co., Ltd. is a case where a Chinese investor entered the country and directly deposited the investment funds in cash.

Basically, the investment capital required for a foreigner to establish a domestic corporation is 100 million won or more. However, it is possible to establish a Korean corporation even if the investment is less than 100 million won. However, there are procedural differences between establishing a domestic corporation through overseas investment of less than 100 million won and establishing a foreign-invested enterprise of 100 million won or more.

Our law firm, Hwaeum , promptly handled and completed all procedures , ranging from the report on securities acquisition to the registration of incorporation, business registration, and opening of a corporate account, to ensure there were no issues with the process.

It is possible to establish a Korean corporation with an investment of less than 100 million won by foreign investors.

Our office assists with all procedures, and we provide native-level support in languages such as Chinese, English, and Japanese, ensuring seamless communication with our customers.
