How Much Does Article 37 Filing Cost and How Long Does It Take?

Reviewed by Dilys Deng · ICPA Chartered AccountantLast reviewed: 2026-10-18
SHORT ANSWER

Article 37 registration itself has no government fee; professional service fees typically range RMB 30,000-80,000 depending on structure complexity. Clean cases complete in 2-4 weeks.

There is no official government fee for Article 37 registration. Costs come from professional services: structuring advice, document preparation, bank communication, and (if needed) remediation of past non-compliance. Typical range: RMB 30,000-80,000 for straightforward single-SPV cases; red-chip restructurings cost more due to multi-layer coordination. Timeline: 2-4 weeks from complete submission for standard cases; complex structures or banks requiring additional verification may take 6-8 weeks. The bank's attitude matters enormously — working with banks experienced in 37 filings avoids repeat submissions.
