Check out our most frequently asked questions to see whether we addressed your concerns.
Is it necessary for me to be in Hong Kong to start my business?
The answer to this question is No. We will conduct identification verification after all needs and paperwork have been supplied electronically, allowing you to launch your new company without having to go to Hong Kong.
Should the company’s director be a Hong Kong resident?
Well, it is not necessary for a company’s director to be a Hong Kong Resident. In Hong Kong, a foreigner can open a business. They might be the company’s sole director and shareholder. However, a resident company secretary is required, which Stephen M.S Lai & Co CPA Limited may offer.
What exactly is a ready-made company?
It is sometimes referred to as a ‘shelf company’ or a ‘shell corporation.’ These firms are registered for resale to a new company owner and have no past business activity; thus, they are debt-free.
While shelf firms must still follow the same set of rules as new companies, corporate directors and stockholders are permitted and have no limits on their nationality.
What is the difference between ready-made and brand-new businesses?
| Ready-Made Company | All-New Enterprise | |
| Date of Registration | Because it is ready-made, earlier registration dates might give enterprises a more established feel. | In contrast to ready-made businesses, new businesses may require time and effort to establish trust with their consumers and suppliers. |
| Process Duration | The ownership transfer takes around a week to complete. | It just takes one business day to get started. The presence of the company’s director(s) and shareholder(s) is essential. |
| Fees | Its charge is often more than that of a brand-new firm. However, some shelf firms have very high prices due to their early incorporation and the expense of previous government payments. | For brand-new businesses, the only amount the clients must pay is for the incorporation package, plus any other services they choose to use. |
| Renewal every year | For ready-made firms, the renewal date is sooner than the purchase date, implying that the due date is shorter than one year following the purchase. | The anniversary date of incorporation is the renewal date for newly established corporations. |
Can I open a bank account from my home?
To comply with their Know-Your-Client (KYC) procedure, traditional banks still prefer face-to-face visits, making bank account applications lengthy and laborious in the end. However, corporate service providers can still let you create remote company accounts without a physical presence.
What is a FinTech (financial technology) account, and why should I open one?
FinTech is an acronym for Financial Technology, and it refers to an alternative multi-currency banking platform for entrepreneurs who are working their way up to obtain a regular bank account. FinTechs enable them to create an account quickly and remotely and conduct worldwide business activities such as paying suppliers or receiving payments from global bank accounts at any time.
Note:
As with traditional bank account opening, there are limits on the firms and countries that can open an account owing to the sanction lists of various FinTech providers.
These companies typically impose processing fees for both incoming and outgoing payments. They also charge a membership fee to keep your company account active.
What does a corporate secretary do?
A company secretary is the firm’s representative and is responsible for ensuring that the company conforms with the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance. It is a legal need to engage such a person when forming a company in Hong Kong since he or she will be in charge of the following:
