Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does Hong Kong company registration take?

Typically 5–10 business days from the date we submit your application to the Companies Registry. Urgent processing may be possible in some cases.

Do I need to be physically present in Hong Kong?

No. The entire process can be completed remotely. All documents can be signed electronically or via notarised mail.

What is the minimum share capital?

There is no minimum paid-up share capital requirement in Hong Kong. Most companies are incorporated with a nominal share capital (e.g., HKD 10,000–100,000).

Do I need a local director?

At least one director must be an individual (not a corporate entity), but they do not need to be a Hong Kong resident. A company secretary must be a Hong Kong resident or a locally-incorporated company.

What ongoing compliance is required after incorporation?

Annual filing of the Profits Tax Return, Annual Return to the Companies Registry, and maintenance of proper accounting records are the core ongoing requirements.
