Company Formation
Hong Kong 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 Hong Kong is not as a general rule subject to tax, and companies pay low tax on their local profit.

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

Shelf companies are ready-made companies, which can be used the moment they are purchased. They normally have an authorized capital of HK$10,000 with standard Memorandum and Articles of Association. One can change the name, amend the Article or increase the authorized capital at any time. Our Corporate Services Department can get your company up and running, often within 24 hours.
