Quick reference for formation of Hong Kong limited company

Hong Kong limited company formation has the most advantage for which a owner or manager fails to run the business so as to incur huge loss, the owner is not required personally to bear the huge loss so that he goes to bankruptcy only if he paid up the issued share capital allotted to him.

Effective from 13/2/2004, a Hong Kong limited company may have only one shareholder and one director. In general, the authorized share capital is HK$10,000. You may issue at least 1 share.

If a company has sole director, the director is not allowed to act as company secretary of the company. Company secretary is a chief officer of the company required by Hong Kong Companies Ordinance. It is required to be acted by a Hong Kong person or a Hong Kong incorporated company. In case that you have no suitable person or company to be appointed as company secretary, we can act as company secretary for you.

Hong Kong Limited company requires a Hong Kong registered office. We can provide a Hong Kong registered office which is different with our address for receiving government letters and bank letters on your behalf. If necessary, we can also provide exclusive telephone line, exclusive fax line and exclusive receptionist to receive your company’s call with company name answering.

There are two alternative to form a HK limited company, namely tailor-made and ready-made company. The ready-made company is required to take 1 – 2 weeks whereas and tailor-made company takes 2 - 3 weeks. For time schedule, please see below. The main difference is ready-made company having already formed and has certificate of incorporation, but tailor-made company is not. For selecting a ready-made company, you may visit our website www.kinsoncpa.com and then left click “Company lists”.
