Your first step on the path to registering your company in China is the company name registration department; given the fun title of: The State Administration of Market supervision or in Chinese 国家市场监督管理总局。Website: http://wsdj.saic.gov.cn/saicmcdjweb/<

There you'll simply register the company name you'd like to use, and no, you can't register a company with an English name in China, It must be Chinese! Furthermore, company names in China must follow a strict format;<

• First 2 Characters: The City where the company is registered, e.g. Beijing
• Next 2 or 3 Characters: The part you choose. Can be a name, or a synonym to your English company name.
• Next 2 or 4 characters: The kind of company you are registering. e.g. Consulting or cultural media
• Last 2-4 Characters: Always Company LTD, 有限公司 or 公司

So a Chinese company name in full may look like: <
