Hong Kong Private Limited Company Formation

A Hong Kong Private Limited Company is the standard structure for founders trading into mainland China and broader Asia — it limits personal liability, requires no minimum share capital, and gives your business a low-tax, common-law entity trusted by banks and trading partners.

  • Companies Registry e-registration in 5–7 working days
  • Business Registration Certificate (BR) issued alongside
  • Articles of Association prepared
  • Certificate of Incorporation issued

Company Secretary Service

Hong Kong law requires every company to appoint a qualified company secretary — either a Hong Kong resident or a TCSP-licensed corporate secretary. Legalkarobar.com provides this as a standing statutory requirement, so your company always stays in good standing.

  • TCSP-licensed corporate secretary appointment
  • Statutory register maintenance (members, directors, controllers)
  • Annual Return preparation support
  • Compliance liaison with the Companies Registry

Registered Office & Significant Controllers Register Address

Every Hong Kong company needs a local registered office address on the public record, and must also maintain a Significant Controllers Register (SCR) at a designated address. If you don't have a Hong Kong address, Legalkarobar.com provides both so you can incorporate without a physical presence.

  • Compliant Hong Kong registered office address
  • Significant Controllers Register (SCR) address service
  • Statutory mail scanned and forwarded
  • Available for non-resident directors and shareholders

Profits Tax & Business Registration

Hong Kong operates a territorial tax system — only profits sourced within Hong Kong are taxed, at competitive two-tier profits tax rates. Profits sourced entirely outside Hong Kong may qualify for an offshore exemption, subject to review by the Inland Revenue Department. Hong Kong has no VAT or GST.

  • Business Registration Certificate renewal
  • Profits tax return preparation and filing
  • Offshore profits exemption claim assessment, where applicable
  • No VAT/GST — Hong Kong has no general sales tax

Nominee Director Service

Some banking relationships and contracts move faster with a locally connected officer on record. Legalkarobar.com's nominee director service provides that presence while you retain full control of the company through a signed nominee agreement.

  • Hong Kong company secretary always included (mandatory)
  • Optional nominee director appointment
  • Full control retained via nominee agreement
  • Used selectively — not required for every company

Annual Return & Compliance Management

A Hong Kong company has ongoing obligations that don't stop at incorporation — an Annual Return filed with the Companies Registry, Business Registration renewal, and profits tax returns filed with the Inland Revenue Department. Legalkarobar.com tracks all of it on a compliance calendar.

  • Annual Return (NAR1) filing with the Companies Registry
  • Business Registration Certificate renewal
  • Profits tax return filing with the IRD
  • Significant Controllers Register upkeep

Common Questions

Hong Kong incorporation — frequently asked questions

A Hong Kong Private Limited Company can typically be registered with the Companies Registry within 5 to 7 working days, with the Business Registration Certificate issued alongside the Certificate of Incorporation.
No — 100% foreign directors and shareholders are permitted. However, every company must appoint a qualified company secretary, either a Hong Kong resident or a TCSP-licensed corporate secretary, which we provide.
No — Hong Kong operates a territorial tax system, taxing only profits sourced within Hong Kong. Profits sourced entirely outside Hong Kong may qualify for an offshore exemption, subject to IRD review.
No — Hong Kong has no general sales tax, VAT, or GST. Companies register for Business Registration and file profits tax returns instead.
A Hong Kong bank account is not required to incorporate the company, but most businesses open one shortly after to trade. We advise on bank and payment-processor options suited to non-resident directors.
