An investment company established by a foreign investor refers to a company engaged in direct investment established by a foreign investor in the form of sole proprietorship or Sino-foreign joint venture in China. Its operation mode is that overseas companies buy or set up subsidiaries in China, and overseas shareholders transfer overseas funds to domestic subsidiaries in the name of injecting investment, including capital and collateral, and domestic subsidiaries use capital and collateral to invest in domestic projects within their business scope.

The advantage of establishing an investment company by foreign investors is that the investment amount is relatively large, which can reach 4-6 times of the registered capital, and the investment scope is wide.

The examination and approval authority of foreign-invested equity investment enterprises is centralized at the local level, and there is room for communication.

The advantage of foreign venture capital enterprises is that they can make equity investment in the financing party first, and then raise the creditor's rights of 1 year or purchase the convertible creditor's rights of the financing party, which is more convenient for projects that want to raise funds by means of equity plus creditor's rights.

The advantage of foreign-funded financial leasing companies/financial leasing companies is that in the domestic environment where mutual loans are prohibited, financial leasing/financial leasing is the only way to charge interest regularly without being sanctioned except bank loans and entrusted loans.

The advantage of setting up overseas loans for enterprises in Qianhai is that the actual approval level is low, which is a more direct and convenient way to engage in cross-border business.

The advantage of purchasing non-performing asset packages by overseas institutions is that they have broken through the barriers of foreign exchange control and can directly use overseas funds to purchase non-performing asset packages.

The advantage of qualified foreign institutional investors/RMB qualified foreign institutional investors is a more convenient way for overseas institutions interested in investing in the mainland A-share market in China. Recently, investment in the inter-bank bond market has been liberalized.
