WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS TO SET UP A COMPANY?

Hong Kong company law requires each company to have:

  • a minimum of one shareholder.
  • a minimum of one director who can be the same individual as the shareholder.
  • a licensed company secretary who is responsible for maintaining the company’s statutory records and attending to filings at the Companies Registry.
  • a registered office address in Hong Kong for receipt of government mail and notices.

Please note the shareholder and director can be any nationality and are not required to be resident in Hong Kong.

Please also be reminded all of our incorporation packages include the provision of a licensed company secretary and a registered office address to ensure your company is compliant with these requirements.

What documents are required?

To set up the company each shareholder and director must provide:

  • a copy of their passport, and
  • a copy of a utility bill or bank statement dated within the last 60 days showing their name and home address.

Additional documents may be required depending on the nature of the company’s business activity.

WHAT’S THE PROCESS?

We offer a simple and hassle free incorporation process:

Step 1 – when you are ready to set up your company please take 5 minutes to complete our ONLINE INCORPORATION FORM . You will need to provide your intended company name, select which of our incorporation packages you will use, provide brief details of your company’s intended business activity and provide details of each shareholder and director.

Step 2 – we will check the availability of your company name, clarify any issues with you and provide our payment details…. payment can be made by bank transfer, credit card or PayPal.

Step 3 – we will prepare your company incorporation documents for your signature within 2 hours of receipt of your payment.

Step 4 – you can either visit our office to sign your company incorporation documents or we can email the documents to you for your signature and return to ourselves.

Step 5 – we will submit your original signed incorporation documents to the Companies Registry and your company will be incorporated within 5 working days of submission.

 

IS THERE AN EXPRESS INCORPORATION SERVICE?

It’s possible to incorporate your company within 24 hours by using the Hong Kong Government’s E-Registry Service however there is an additional charge of USD100 to use the E-Registry Service.

If your company is incorporated using the E-Registry Service you do not need to sign and return the incorporation documents for submission to the Companies Registry as the incorporation will be completed online. Your company will exist within 24 hours of making your payment enabling you to apply to open a bank account and commence your business activities faster than if setting up your company by using the standard incorporation process.

WHAT ABOUT OPENING A BANK ACCOUNT?

All our incorporation packages include complimentary help to assist you to open an account for your company.

There are 2 options to consider for your company’s banking in Hong Kong:

a traditional bank account – you will need to complete an online application and then attend a meeting at the bank in order to open an account for your company…. some banks will however open accounts without requiring a meeting if the company has fewer than 2 shareholders and if the bank deems the nature of the company’s business activity is low risk. The account opening process with most banks usually takes around 2 to 4 weeks.

a multi-currency business account with a FinTech company (also known as a digital bank or neo-bank) – account opening is entirely online with no meeting required. Accounts are usually opened within 2 to 3 days.

We will propose a choice of banks and FinTech companies best suited to your company’s business activity, advise on the account opening requirements and provide certified true copies of your company registration documents which you will need to provide to the bank or FinTech company when your company applies to open an account.

If you need advice on where to open an account for your company please email us at info@acshk.com with brief details of the products or services provided by your company and we will be pleased to suggest some options suitable for your business.
