To open a company in Hong Kong (a private company limited by shares) you need at least one shareholder, one director who is an individual, a company secretary and a Hong Kong registered office, then you file the incorporation form (NNC1) with the Companies Registry. The government fee is HK$1,545 for an electronic filing, plus HK$2,350 for a one-year business registration, and electronic certificates are usually issued within an hour. BizAion's packages start at HK$8,000 with a first-year company secretary, designated representative and tax representative; the HK$9,800 package adds a first-year registered address.

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to open a company in Hong Kong?
BizAion's package is HK$8,000 (Plan 1) or HK$9,800 (Plan 2, with a first-year registered address), plus government fees of HK$1,545 (electronic incorporation) and HK$2,350 (one-year business registration): about HK$11,895 or HK$13,695 in total.
How long does it take?
Electronic certificates are usually issued within an hour of filing. Including the name check and signing, the process usually takes a few working days.
Can one person open a limited company?
Yes. One person can be the sole shareholder and director, but a sole director cannot also be the company secretary, so a secretary is still needed. Our packages include the first-year secretary.
Is there a minimum share capital?
No. The Companies Ordinance has no minimum paid-up capital requirement.
What has to be done every year after incorporation?
File the annual return (NAR1), renew the business registration, keep accounts and have them audited, and file profits tax returns when issued. See our accounting and company secretary pages.
