FAQ

Common questions

What is the corporate tax rate in Hong Kong? +
Hong Kong operates a territorial tax system. Profits sourced entirely outside of Hong Kong are generally subject to a 0% tax rate. For profits sourced within HK, the first 2 million HKD is taxed at 8.25%, and anything above is taxed at 16.5%.
Do I need a physical office space in Hong Kong? +
No, you do not need to lease a physical office. You just need a Registered Office Address in Hong Kong to receive government mail and satisfy statutory requirements, which our packages provide.
Do I need a resident director? +
No, a Hong Kong limited company can be 100% foreign-owned and directed. However, you are legally required to appoint a local Company Secretary, which is fully included in our incorporation services.
Does setting up a company help with getting a Hong Kong residency visa? +
Yes. Registering a company can sponsor an Employment Visa or Investment Visa for investors, partners, and employees, allowing you to obtain a Hong Kong ID (HKID).
How long does company incorporation take? +
Most Hong Kong incorporations are completed within 1 to 3 working days once the e-Registry application and due diligence documents are submitted to the Companies Registry.
Can a foreigner own 100% of a Hong Kong company? +
Yes. Foreign investors can retain 100% ownership of a Hong Kong Limited Company without needing a local partner, sponsor, or residency status.
What ongoing compliance is required after incorporation? +
You are required to renew your Business Registration Certificate (BRC) annually, file an Annual Return (NAR1) with the Companies Registry, maintain your SCR, and submit Profits Tax returns with audited accounts to the IRD.
Do you help with opening a corporate bank account? +
Yes. We assist with major HK banks (HSBC, Standard Chartered, BOC) and global digital banks (Airwallex, Neat) to fast-track your corporate account application based on your business profile.
What is the minimum paid-up capital for a Hong Kong company? +
There is no statutory minimum share capital required by law. The standard setup is typically 10,000 HKD divided into 10,000 ordinary shares of 1 HKD each, which does not need to be deposited upfront.
