Legal Status

The most commonly used structure is the Private Limited Company. It is a separate legal entity from its foreign parent company, therefore the liabilities of the subsidiary company do not extend to the parent company.

Another type of business is the Representative Office. A Representative Office has no legal status and cannot conduct any profit generating business activities. Such an office is useful if a company wishes to explore the Hong Kong market before making a larger investment or indeed if it is never intended to derive sales, e.g. only fulfill functions such as promotion and liaison work.
