A limited company can be used to protect the interests of a company’s owners. If their business faces any difficulty, the owners of a Hong Kong limited company cannot be held personally liable and are not required to repay any debts if the company is liquidated.

appoint either a resident individual or resident company, such as ourselves, to be the company secretary;
to have a Hong Kong registered office, such as our premises, which is capable of receiving official documents.

There are two ways to form a Hong Kong limited company:

tailor-made company: you can choose your own company name and it will take about 5 business days to incorporate;

Investors choose Hong Kong as the location for their holding company for a variety of reasons, including reducing tax liability, stock listing, and fund repatriation. The Hong Kong government has signed double tax agreements with many countries and hence unnecessary taxation can be avoided.

The cost of establishing and operating a Hong Kong limited company is relatively low. The process of opening a bank account is straightforward and there are no restrictions of flow of funds. Hence, investors from across the world are attracted to set up their companies in Hong Kong.
