How to register a company in Hong Kong? Maybe you should know these Basic requirements for setting up of Hong Kong companies.
Company name - The company name must be approved before you can proceed with the incorporation of a Hong Kong company.
Companies Ordinance - With the amendment, effective 1 March 2018, every company incorporated in Hong Kong, except for those listed in the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKSE), will be required to create and maintain a register of all persons who have significant control of the company.
All companies must also appoint a Designated Representative (DR) responsible for reporting in relation to the SCR to prescribed local authorities upon demand.
Directors - A minimum of one individual director and unlimited maximum number of directors allowed. The director must be a natural person who can be of any nationality and need not be resident in Hong Kong. Directors must be at least 18 years of age and must not be bankrupt or convicted for any malpractices. There is no requirement for the directors to also be shareholders. Nominee corporate directors can also be appointed in addition to the individual director. Directors Board meetings can be held anywhere in the world.
Shareholders - A Hong Kong private limited company can have a minimum of 1 and maximum of 50 shareholders. There is no residency requirement for shareholders. A director and shareholder can be the same or different person. The shareholder must be at least 18 years of age and can belong to any nationality. The shareholder can be a person or a company. 100% local or foreign shareholding is allowed. Appointment of nominee shareholders is permitted. Shareholders meetings can be held anywhere in the world.
Company Secretary - When setting up a company in Hong Kong, appointing a company secretary is mandatory. The secretary, if an individual, must ordinarily reside in Hong Kong; or if a body corporate, must have its registered office or a place of business in Hong Kong. It has to be noted that in case of a sole director/shareholder, the same person cannot act as the company secretary. The company secretary is responsible for maintaining the statutory books and records of the company and must also ensure the company’s compliance with all statutory requirements. A nominee secretary can be appointed.
Share Capital - Although there is no minimum share capital requirement, the general norm for companies incorporated in Hong Kong is to have at least one shareholder with one ordinary share issued on their formation. Share capital can be expressed in any major currency and is not restricted to the Hong Kong Dollar alone. Shares can be freely transferred, subject to a stamp duty fee. Bearer shares are not allowed.
Registered Address - In order to register a Hong Kong company, you must provide a local Hong Kong address as the registered address of the company. The registered address must be a physical address and cannot be a PO Box.
