Hong Kong Companies

We incorporate or provide Hong Kong private companies for our clients.

A private limited liability company in Hong Kong may be limited by shares or by guarantee. For commercial enterprises, the predominant choice would be to establish a company limited by shares. Non-profit organisations such as charities, educational or religious organisations often establish themselves as companies limited by guarantee.

With the commencement of the new Companies Ordinance (“New CO”) on 3 March 2014, the New CO adopts a mandatory system of no par value (or nominal value) for shares, meaning companies will have greater flexibility in structuring their share capital. Henceforth, Hong Kong companies are often established with a minimum share capital of HK1.00. There needs to be at least one founder shareholder.

A private limited company may have between 1 and 50 shareholders, each of whose liability is limited to the share capital invested.

A Hong Kong company is required to have at least 1 shareholder, 1 director, a local company secretary and a local registered office address. We can provide the local company secretary and registered office address for our clients.

The accounts of a Hong Kong company would also have to be audited on an annual basis and for its first audited accounts within 18 months of incorporation.
