Country overview

About Hong Kong

Hong Kong is a Special Administrative Region of China, on the south China coast, adjoining Shenzhen. About 7.5 million people live here. English and Chinese are official languages. The currency is the Hong Kong dollar.

Hong Kong is a common-law jurisdiction and an international financial centre. It is not a separate sovereign state. Companies are used for trading, services and holding structures across Asia. English-language company documents and a familiar companies ordinance are part of why the jurisdiction is still used.

Brikseka forms Hong Kong companies. The usual vehicle is a private company limited by shares. Formation is remote. There is no local director requirement and no statutory minimum share capital. A company secretary and a registered office in Hong Kong are mandatory.

We then advise on a business bank account and payment gateways such as Stripe and PayPal. Approvals are decided by the providers. If your aim is to live in Hong Kong, company formation is not a residence permit — that is a separate immigration file, which we also advise on.

  • Company formation

    We form a private limited company, with a Hong Kong company secretary and registered office, then stay with the file through banking and payments.

  • Hong Kong SAR

    A Special Administrative Region of China, not an EU member. The Hong Kong dollar is the currency.

  • Asia-Pacific

    English and Chinese, common law, and a commercial base on the south China coast.

  • Tax setting

    Profits tax is published at 16.5 percent, with a two-tier rate of 8.25 percent on the first HK$2 million for a qualifying company. We confirm the live position before you proceed.

How we work

From briefing to a registered company

  1. Briefing

    We review your business, the right entity for this country, costs, and whether a visit is likely.

  2. Company formation

    Local counsel, notary where required, and the commercial register. We coordinate the documents through to a registered company.

  3. Banking and payments

    After the company exists, we prepare applications for a business account and payment gateways.

  4. After incorporation

    Statutory records, a named contact, and introductions to accounting so the company can operate.

After the company exists

  • Stripe, subject to Stripe’s approval
  • PayPal Business, subject to PayPal’s approval
