Hong Kong Company Registration
Setting up a company in Hong Kong is fast, straightforward and inexpensive. In under a week, your company could be up and running. Here are the basic steps in setting up a business in Hong Kong:
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.
All Hong Kong Companies must appoint a Company Secretary which is based in Hong Kong. The Company Secretary is responsible for the annual maintenance of the company and has to ensure that the company is compliant with the regulations
