Hong Kong is one of the most attractive jurisdictions for international trade, both for importing and exporting products between China and the rest of the world, as well as for providing global services.

Setting up a company in Hong Kong typically takes between 1 and 3 business days. It is very important to note that shareholders and legal representatives can carry out the company establishment process without needing to be physically present in Hong Kong. With the assistance of La Nao Consulting, you can complete the procedure remotely.

The procedure is as follows:

1. Company name

  • Name selection.
  • Availability check at the Companies Registry.

2. Registration at the Companies Registry

  • Submission of articles of association and incorporation documents.
  • Payment of registration fees.
  • Issuance of the Certificate of Incorporation.

3. Tax registration (Inland Revenue Department)

  • Automatic issuance of the Business Registration Certificate upon company incorporation.
  • The certificate must be displayed at the registered office (and at each branch, if applicable).
  • Annual renewal and obligation to notify changes within one month.

4. Structure and basic requirements

  • Share capital: minimum HK$1, no restrictions.
  • Shareholders: minimum 1, no residency requirements.
  • Directors: minimum 1 natural person (can also be a shareholder).
  • Secretary: mandatory; must reside in Hong Kong or be a local company.
  • Registered office: mandatory in Hong Kong, even if it is not the operational office.

Our team of specialists will guide you through every stage of the process, ensuring that the company is structured according to the needs and objectives of your business.
