The service I received was exceptional from start to finish. Cedric, Mandy and Tori were incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure all my needs were met promptly. I was impressed by their professionalism and efficiency, and I'll definitely be returning for future business.

I found Osome’s information from the Hong Kong government’s official website. Compared with the service organizations my friends introduced to me before, it appears to be more professional and its services are more in line with mainland service standards. Special thanks to Duane and Charmaine who worked on my case.

Top experience with Osome, they provide precise consultation and customised service plans that fit exactly my needs, saving me a lot of time and energy. My advisor, Autumn Yiu, explains each step with clear details and simple language for a layman like me. Very great service.

The process

What do corporate secretarial services include for Hong Kong companies?

Keeping your company compliant

A company secretary ensures that the business and its operation thoroughly comply with the regulations in the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance. This includes your statutory returns and keeping company records up to date.

Keeping your company compliant

Maintaining your statutory books

Hong Kong companies are legally required to keep their statutory books current. They must also be kept in a secure digital or physical location and be made available for inspection by the public if needed.

Essential statutory books documents include:

  • Register of directors, members, shareholders and secretaries
  • Register of significant controllers: individuals or entities
  • Register of charges over the company’s assets
  • Meeting minutes for the company’s directors and members
  • Accounting and financial records, including your balance sheet and profit and loss statement
Maintaining your statutory books

Filing statutory returns

Your company secretary is responsible for ensuring all statutory returns are filed on time and accurately. Some of the most common returns include:

  • Annual return: Must be filed within 42 days of your company’s incorporation anniversary.
  • Tax return: Must be filed by all companies that are liable to pay taxes.
  • Other reports: Several other reports may need to be filed depending on your company, such as reports on directors’ remuneration and company charges.
Filing statutory returns

Ongoing administrative and advisory support

Your company secretary is the one-stop-shop for advice on company law, compliance regulations and corporate governance. They can provide specific support in areas such as board composition, shareholder rights, and conflict of interest.

Finally, they handle administrative tasks, such as preparing contracts, managing correspondence, and renewing your Business Registration Certification.
