Setting up a Business in Hong Kong
Do I form a local company, a representative office or do I register a
foreign company?
We will examine your business activities and advise you on where
your company might have a taxable presence. We can provide you with
a comparison of the tax implications of your operations using different
forms of entity (subsidiary, representative office or foreign corporation)
and advise you on the most tax-efficient way to structure your operations.
We will consider the appropriateness of using offshore structures
in the context of your business.

to Hong Kong companies.
How do I form the entity that I need?
We can assist you with the establishment of the Hong Kong company,
representative office, the registration of an offshore company or
the acquisition of a shelf company in Hong Kong or offshore. We can
help you register with the Hong Kong Companies Registrar, Inland Revenue
Department and other regulatory authorities.
We can help you apply for a Hong Kong business licence if required
for your industry (eg financial services and telecommunications industries)
and also register domain names in the region. You may also need a
business address but have not found suitable premises, we can provide
you with a business address.
