• Choose a business entity: Our team of experts will reach out to you and advise you on the different types of companies in Hong Kong that best fit your business profile. The most common option for offshore companies in Hong Kong is a Private Limited Company.
• Choose a company name: Concurrently, we will thoroughly search the local Registrar’s Index of Names for the availability of your desired company name and reserve it. The company name has to be unique and not in use by another business.
• Appoint directors and shareholders: A company in Hong Kong must have at least one director and one shareholder, who can be individuals or corporate entities. At least one director must be a resident of Hong Kong. We can provide resident nominee directors and shareholders, if necessary.
