Here we list and explain the government contacts, online resources, foreign and local companies, AmCham publications, and other published resources all in one place. This guide is deigned to present prospective businesses with as much helpful information as possible so they can get set-up and begin to take advantage of the fantastic opportunities this city has to offer.

Step by Step Resources - The following is a categorized reference covering the areas one must consider when starting a business in Shanghai. Contained within each category is the bulk of the information that this resource has to offer, including Companies with Helpful Services, Government Contacts, Articles and Advice from Experienced Companies and Experts, and Useful Links. (Government contacts listed are largely the Beijing central authorities, useful primarily in the research process; however, many also have semi-related Shanghai offices or bureaus. Where appropriate these contacts have also been included. As these bureaus are not exactly hierarchical in nature, and the regulations of a Shanghai branch may be contrary to those of the central authority, it is wise to contact SMERT-see above- for aid in making local contacts within relevant bureaus).
