Do I need a company secretary?
Yes — every Hong Kong limited company must appoint one under the Companies Ordinance. A sole director cannot act as their own company secretary, which is why founder-owned companies appoint a licensed firm.
Can you serve me if I'm not in Hong Kong?
Yes. We verify your identity through certified remote identity verification, in line with our anti-money-laundering obligations as a licensed TCSP. The entire process can be completed without visiting Hong Kong.
How long does incorporation take?
Typically 1–2 working days from complete documents, using the Companies Registry's e-filing system.
What are the annual compliance requirements?
A Hong Kong company must renew its Business Registration Certificate annually, file its NAR1 annual return within 42 days of the company's return date, and file a profits tax return with audited accounts. Our plans handle the secretarial side and send reminders for the rest.
What's not included in the plans?
Government fees, stamp duty and complex restructuring, which we quote in advance. Audit and tax work is carried out by CPA firms — we coordinate with yours, or introduce one.
Do you offer nominee director services?
Not at present. We focus on company secretarial work, incorporation and registered office services.
