Frequently asked questions
Nothing here is legal or tax advice — it's a summary, written by people who file Hong Kong incorporations for a living.
No. Company formation can be completed remotely with a professional service provider. You receive digital corporate documents after as little as one working day of registration.
Under Class A — Standard, your name appears as director and shareholder in the public Companies Registry. Under Class B — Confidential, professional nominees are appointed as the public-facing director and shareholder, while a Declaration of Trust and nominee agreements record you as beneficial owner in private.
Yes. A foreigner may take 100% ownership and act as the sole director and shareholder. No local partner is required, and the nominee layer is optional — included only under Class B.
Core documents including the Certificate of Incorporation, Business Registration Certificate, and Articles of Association — plus support services such as a local company secretary and registered address.
Capital gains, dividends, interest income, VAT and withholdings are tax-exempt in Hong Kong, so a company pays only corporate profits tax: 8.25% on the first HKD 2 million of assessable income and 16.5% on the remainder.
An offshore claim is the process of proving that profits derive from sources outside Hong Kong and are therefore non-taxable. Eligibility generally requires no clients, office, staff, web hosting, or fulfilment in Hong Kong. We help you assess and document it.
You apply for offshore status with the Inland Revenue Department when filing your first annual tax return. The process can take several months and may involve questions to directors; annual auditing remains compulsory regardless.
Maintain one director and shareholder, a registered address and company secretary; renew the Business Registration Certificate; file the Annual Return; and file a tax return with audited financial statements.
Yes. All Hong Kong companies must file annual returns with the Companies Registry and the Inland Revenue Department. Accounting and audit reports are part of annual compliance, regardless of where the business activity takes place.
Yes. Information on directors and shareholders is filed with the Companies Registrar. The Class B — Confidential package places professional nominees on the public register instead, keeping the beneficial owner off public filings.
There is no required minimum registered capital for a Hong Kong private company. The standard is HK$10,000, and share capital can start from as little as HKD 1.
Licences or permits are required for employment agencies, event activities, travel agencies, education, restaurants and retail shops operating in Hong Kong, and are mandatory for insurance and financial services regardless of where the business runs.
Hong Kong is among the most reputable financial centres in the world. Options worth considering include HSBC, Hang Seng Bank, OCBC and Standard Chartered, alongside digital alternatives such as Airwallex and Statrys.
