Hong Kong Company Registration Services

Hong Kong is one of the top cities to incorporate a business. Incorporating a company in this city is a straightforward process. You would need a company name, a Hong Kong local registered address, and appoint one Designated Representative, one individual Director, one Shareholder, and one Company Secretary.

Yes, you can! We handle the entire company registration process online with little effort needed from you. We'll help you organise the hiring of a local Corporate Secretary, getting a registered address, opening a business bank account, and much more without you needing to go anywhere.

Once all the documents are ready, it usually takes us 2-4 business days to register a company. It mostly depends on when you have all the necessary documents ready as well as the service hours of the authorities.

Usually, it’ll take us 1 business day to register a company, assuming all documents are ready and it’s within the service hours of the authorities. Here’s what we need to proceed:

• Collect payment for our services
• Receive all documents and information from you
• Clear due diligence
• Have the documents electronically signed on your end

Your company name must follow these requirements:

• It can be registered with an English name, Chinese name, or both
• It cannot be a mix of both English and Chinese letters
• If your company has an English name, it must end with the word "Limited"
• If your company name is in Chinese, the last word should bear the meaning of "Limited"

Most business owners register their companies in the form of private limited companies in Hong Kong. To do so, you must meet the following requirements:

• At least one shareholder of over 18 years old is required. The shareholder can be local or a foreigner
• At least one director of over 18 years old is required. The director can be local or a foreigner
• One person can act as both the shareholder and the director
• You must have a registered address in Hong Kong
• While you do not need a minimum share capital to register a company in Hong Kong, the common practice is to have about HK$10,000 in share capital. Since the minimum paid-up capital per share is HK$1.00, your share capital can be represented by 10,000 ordinary shares of HK$1.00 each
• Your company needs to have a Designated Representative (DR) in the form of a company or a person to provide assistance to the company's Significant Controllers Register (SCR)
• A company secretary who is a local. If you would like to use an incorporated entity as your secretary, it will need to have an office in Hong Kong

After registering a company in Hong Kong, you'll have a Company Constitution, a dedicated local Corporate Secretary, a registered business address, a business bank account, and a Business Registration Certificate. After that, we'll set up your accounting calendar to ensure you pay the right tax and remain compliant throughout the financial year.

After you have successfully registered your company, you can focus on the next steps. These include:

• Opening a business bank account. If you register your company with Osome, we help you with this step
• Obtaining the relevant permits and licenses according to the government website
• Handling your bookkeeping and accounting

You can register a company even if you are not in Hong Kong. If you fulfil all the requirements during the online qualification process, your company registration will be complete in 5-7 working days.

You are not required to be physically present in Hong Kong to register your company. If you have an agency to help register your company, all you have to do is send them the required documents.
