HK Register Company


To register a company in Hong Kong, you generally need to follow these steps:


  1. Choose a Company Name: Your company name must comply with Hong Kong's company naming regulations. It cannot be identical or confusingly similar to existing company names.

  2. Prepare Required Documents: You will need to provide certain documents, such as identity proofs of the directors and shareholders, a certified copy of the company's articles of association, and a declaration of compliance with the Companies Ordinance.

  3. Submit the Incorporation Application: Complete and submit the incorporation application form to the Companies Registry.

  4. Pay the Registration Fee: You will need to pay the registration fee.

  5. Obtain the Certificate of Incorporation: Upon successful registration, you will receive a Certificate of Incorporation, which officially establishes your company.


Additional Considerations:


  • Company Type: Consider the type of company you want to register, such as a limited liability company (LLC) or a private company limited by shares.

  • Registered Office: You will need to provide a registered office address in Hong Kong.

  • Business Activities: Indicate the nature of your company's business activities.

  • Directors and Shareholders: Appoint directors and shareholders who meet the eligibility requirements.


Registered Office Address in Hong Kong:


When registering a company in Hong Kong, you'll need to provide a registered office address. This is the official address where legal documents and notices can be served to the company.


Here are some options for your registered office address:


  1. Physical Office: You can use your own physical office space in Hong Kong as your registered office. This is a common option for companies with a physical presence in the city.

  2. Virtual Office: A virtual office provides you with a professional business address without requiring you to rent a physical office space. Many serviced office providers offer virtual office packages that include a registered office address, mail forwarding services, and meeting room access.

  3. Company Formation Agent's Address: You can use the address of a company formation agent in Hong Kong as your registered office. This is a convenient option for companies that are new to Hong Kong or don't have a physical presence yet.


Important Considerations:


  • Accessibility: Ensure that the registered office address is easily accessible for legal notices and correspondence.

  • Privacy: If you choose a virtual office or company formation agent's address, consider the privacy and confidentiality measures they offer.

  • Professional Image: A prestigious registered office address can enhance your company's professional image.


By carefully considering these factors, you can select a registered office address that suits your company's needs and meets Hong Kong's legal requirements.


Registration Fee


The registration fee for a company in Hong Kong varies depending on the type of company you are registering and the size of your company. However, as of 2023, the standard registration fee for a private company limited by shares is typically around HKD 1,070.


Helpful Resources:



By following these steps and seeking professional advice if needed, you can successfully register your company in Hong Kong.
