Hong Kong Offshore Company Services with Primasia

Hong Kong is now the largest hub for offshore company incorporation in Asia. The introduction of the territorial tax system made Hong Kong an efficient, flexible and tax-friendly jurisdiction for international companies that want to set up offshore operations with access to China markets. Hong Kong offshore company is not a special legal entity form – it is a regular private limited company incorporated under the Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622) that carries out its business outside Hong Kong. Income sourced outside Hong Kong is usually exempt from taxation, which makes Hong Kong a very popular jurisdiction for foreign entrepreneurs and multinational corporations aiming to enter the global market.

Hong Kong Offshore Company Formation FAQs

Hong Kong offshore company is a regular private limited company incorporated in Hong Kong and doing business mostly outside Hong Kong. Hong Kong has no separate “offshore” legal entity – it is just a company incorporated in Hong Kong that enjoys the advantage of the territorial tax system and pays taxes on Hong Kong-sourced income only. Hong Kong offshore companies pay no taxes on foreign income when properly making FSIE claims. The offshore status, along with strong legal framework, good reputation of Hong Kong as a financial center, proximity to Asian markets and mainland China makes Hong Kong a perfect jurisdiction for international trade, holding companies, IP licensing and other offshore structures.

Hong Kong offshore company requires at least one director and one shareholder (who can be the same person), local company secretary (who must be a Hong Kong resident), Business Registration Certificate, and a registered office in Hong Kong. Our professionals offer full assistance in forming Hong Kong offshore company, including nomination services and provision of a registered office for foreign companies and international entrepreneurs.
