1. Private Company \u2013 Not a Government Agency<\/h2>\r\n
\r\n

SetupHero is a privately owned and operated company. We are not a government agency, government department, regulatory authority, or official representative of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR).<\/p>\r\n

We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or acting on behalf of any Hong Kong government authority unless expressly stated otherwise.<\/p>\r\n

    SetupHero provides private professional assistance relating to services such as company incorporation, corporate administration, company secretarial services (TCSP license coordination), accounting and tax coordination, business setup, immigration support, banking assistance, and related advisory or administrative services.<\/p>\r\n

    Where a regulated, licensed, registered, or third-party professional is required to perform a particular service (such as statutory CPA audits or legal advice), that service may be provided or facilitated through appropriately qualified professionals, registered agents, licensed service providers, or other authorised third parties.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n \r\n

    \r\n

    3. No Guarantee of Government Approval<\/h2>\r\n
    \r\n

    SetupHero can assist clients with preparing, coordinating, and submitting applications and documentation; however, all government, regulatory, immigration, licensing, banking, and other third-party approvals remain entirely at the discretion of the relevant authority or institution.<\/p>\r\n

      Government authorities, banks, regulators, and other third parties may request additional documentation, conduct additional due diligence, reject an application, or change their requirements at any time.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n \r\n

      \r\n

      4. Processing Times<\/h2>\r\n
      \r\n

      Any processing times or estimated completion periods shown on this website are estimates based on typical circumstances and previous experience.<\/p>\r\n

      Actual processing times may vary depending on government authorities, regulatory agencies, banks, immigration departments, documentation requirements, public holidays, compliance checks, client responsiveness, and other circumstances outside our control.<\/p>\r\n

      References such as \u201c24\u201348 hours,\u201d \u201c1\u20132 weeks,\u201d or other estimated timelines should therefore not be interpreted as guarantees.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n \r\n

      \r\n

      5. Government and Third-Party Fees<\/h2>\r\n

      Government incorporation fees, Business Registration fees, capital duty charges, immigration visa charges, CPA statutory audit fees, banking charges, taxes, duties, deposits, courier charges, translation costs, and other third-party expenses apply separately unless included in an explicit package scope.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n \r\n

      \r\n

      6. No Legal, Tax, Investment, or Financial Advice<\/h2>\r\n
      \r\n

      Information provided through this website, including information relating to corporate structures, Hong Kong Profits Tax, offshore tax exemption status, immigration, banking, wealth management, or international trade, is intended for general informational purposes.<\/p>\r\n

      It should not be considered a substitute for personalised legal, tax, accounting, immigration, investment, or financial advice.<\/p>\r\n

      Laws, tax rules, regulations, and government policies may change, and their application can vary depending on individual circumstances.<\/p>\r\n

      Clients should obtain advice from suitably qualified professionals before making significant legal, tax, financial, immigration, or investment decisions.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n \r\n

      \r\n

      7. Tax Information<\/h2>\r\n
      \r\n

      Any tax rates (such as Hong Kong's two-tiered Profits Tax regime of 8.25% \/ 16.5%), tax benefits, exemptions (such as Offshore Profit Tax Exemption claims), incentives, or examples mentioned on this website are provided for general informational purposes only.<\/p>\r\n

      Eligibility for a particular tax treatment depends on several factors, including the company's operational activities, management location, tax residency, economic substance, source of income, applicable legislation, treaties, regulatory requirements, and the individual circumstances of the client.<\/p>\r\n

      SetupHero does not guarantee that establishing a Hong Kong company structure will automatically result in a specific tax rate or tax exemption outcome.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n \r\n

      \r\n

      8. Banking Assistance<\/h2>\r\n
      \r\n

      Where SetupHero provides assistance with opening a corporate or personal bank account in Hong Kong, our role is limited to assisting with documentation, introductions, preparation, coordination, and the application process where applicable.<\/p>\r\n

      The final decision to approve or reject a bank account application is made solely by the relevant financial institution's compliance department.<\/p>\r\n

      SetupHero is not a bank and does not control the bank's compliance procedures, eligibility criteria, account-opening timelines, or final decisions.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n \r\n

      \r\n

      9. Immigration and Visa Services<\/h2>\r\n
      \r\n

      Where immigration, Entrepreneur Visa, Top Talent Pass Scheme (TTPS), General Employment Policy (GEP), or dependant visa assistance is provided, SetupHero may assist with application preparation, documentation, coordination, and submission.<\/p>\r\n

      The Hong Kong Immigration Department retains complete discretion over all immigration and visa approval decisions.<\/p>\r\n

      No statement on this website should be interpreted as a guarantee that a visa, entry permit, or employment status will be granted.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n \r\n

      \r\n
