Capital
Capital planning should connect the China operating plan with the amount, timing, currency, source and control of funding. Management needs a base case, downside case and clear release milestones so capital follows verified business progress rather than an open-ended expansion promise.
Funding the China Plan Against Evidence
01
Build the operating funding requirement
Map setup costs, working capital, operating losses, assets, inventory and contingency by period. Separate committed needs from expenditure that depends on later milestones.
Funding model: Setup / Operations / Working capital / Assets / Contingency
02
Match funding to purpose and timing
Compare equity, shareholder funding, local facilities and other available routes against duration, cost, control, repayment and implementation requirements.
Structure record: Source / Amount / Currency / Term / Conditions
From Capital Requirement to Funding Control
03
Set capital release gates
Link each funding tranche to customer, regulatory, operating or financial evidence. Management should know what would cause a release, redesign, pause or exit.
Release gate: Milestone / Evidence / Amount / Approver / Stop rule
04
Control cash and investor reporting
Define budgets, account authority, forecasts, variance review, intercompany records and reporting to investors or headquarters before funds move.
Control framework: Budget / Authority / Forecast / Variance / Reporting

Management should approve the funding requirement, structure, control model and release milestones before capital is committed. Forecasts and business evidence should be reviewed before every material funding decision.
