Is this right for you — and what we actually do

Founders trading with Asia and Greater China who want a well-known, low-friction jurisdiction and access to Hong Kong banking. It is not tax advice — a Hong Kong company must keep proper records and file audited accounts.

  • 2Director(s) — at least one natural-person director; no residency or nationality restriction.
  • 3Company secretary — mandatory; must be a Hong Kong resident or a licensed corporate service provider. A sole director cannot also be the secretary.
  • 4Registered office — a physical Hong Kong address (PO boxes are not accepted).
