Company Formation in HK
Over 30,000 companies have been successfully incorporated with Conson’s Support since 2000. Except clients’ appreciation, we are honored to be awarded by different banks including HSBC and Hnag Seng Bank.
To do business in Hong Kong, you have to setup a Hong Kong company by applying a business registration certificate. Hong Kong companies can be generally divided into two categories: 1. sole proprietorship or partnership company. The setup procedure is simple but the liabilities are unlimited; 2. limited company, which liabilities of shareholders and directors are limited. While personal property is protected, the company needs to comply with relevant regulations such as hiring an independent certified public accountant to conduct an audit each year and submitting annual returns to the company registry. Since the cost of setup and maintain a limited company is not high, many people will choose to use the limited company.
To setup a new Hong Kong Limited company (private limited by shares) usually takes about 10 working days. If urgent, you can choose our Express Service (about 1-2 working days) or buy a ready-made one (about 2-3 working days). To set up a new one, you need to provide a company name; if buying a ready-made company, you can choose one from our company list.
