About bdp

Since 1992 bdp has advised mid-sized businesses on tax, law, audit, restructuring and financing, and today it runs 13 offices in Germany, China, Spain, Bulgaria and Switzerland, with Berlin among its main German locations. Its China desk is the firm's most distinctive feature: it serves European companies entering the Chinese market and Chinese companies investing in Germany and Europe, and a dedicated inbound offering welcomes Chinese investors with services from a single source. For China the firm's own teams in Qingdao, Shanghai and Tianjin handle the full set-up of a wholly foreign-owned enterprise, joint venture or representative office, from name registration and business licence to tax registration, bank accounts, customs, foreign exchange and social security registration, work visas and secretarial services. The desk staff speak German, Chinese and English. In Germany the firm provides tax advice, financial and payroll accounting, audits and legal advice, and it is an independent member of EuropeFides.
