Company Formation - Business Registration Hong Kong

Hongkong is an excellent place to set up a business, not only because it is one of the world's major trading and manufacturing centres, but also because of its simple taxation system and low tax rate. Income with a source outside HK is not as a general rule subject to tax, and companies pay low tax on their local profit.

To do business in Hongkong, one can register for a sole proprietorship, a partnership or register one's own company incorporated elsewhere as an overseas company. Another form of business entity in Hong Kong - is the registration of private limited company for business, which limits the liability of the shareholders to the capital subscribed. The incorporation of a tailor-made company registration takes around 10 working days but one can buy a "shelf company" and almost immediately start business.
