Why incorporate in Hong Kong?

Hong Kong is one of the world's most respected and business-friendly jurisdictions — a free-market economy with a simple, low-tax regime, a world-class banking sector and an English common-law legal system. It is the natural gateway between Mainland China and the rest of the world, making it ideal for trading, holding, e-commerce and regional headquarters.

A Hong Kong private limited company can be owned 100% by foreigners, requires no minimum share capital and can be incorporated entirely remotely in just a few days. Our specialists manage the full process for you — name approval, incorporation, company secretary, registered address, banking introductions and ongoing compliance — so you can focus on your business.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to incorporate a company in Hong Kong?
For a new company, incorporation typically takes 3–5 business days once your documents are ready. If you need to start trading immediately, a ready-made shelf company can be transferred to you on the same day.
Can a foreigner own 100% of a Hong Kong company?
Yes. There are no nationality or residency restrictions — a single foreign individual can act as the sole director and shareholder, and there are no limits on foreign ownership.
Do I need to travel to Hong Kong to incorporate?
No. The entire incorporation process can be completed remotely. We handle name checks, document preparation and government filing on your behalf, and documents are signed electronically.
What is the minimum share capital required?
There is no minimum share capital. Most companies are incorporated with a nominal issued capital — commonly HK$10,000 divided into 10,000 shares of HK$1 — but you are free to choose a structure that suits your business.
What ongoing compliance obligations does a Hong Kong company have?
Each year a company must file an Annual Return, renew its Business Registration, prepare audited financial statements and submit a Profits Tax Return. It must also maintain a company secretary, a registered office and a Significant Controllers Register — all of which we can manage for you.
What taxes will my Hong Kong company pay?
Hong Kong applies a two-tier profits tax: 8.25% on the first HK$2 million of assessable profits and 16.5% thereafter. There is no VAT/GST, no capital gains tax and no tax on dividends. Profits genuinely sourced outside Hong Kong may qualify for offshore exemption.
