THE PROCEDURE OF SETTING UP A HONG KONG COMPANY

STEP

Choose the type of Hong Kong company that best suits your company:

Once you know the difference between an unlimited company and a limited company, you can make a choice based on your business needs and the risks you can take. Once you have weighed the pros and cons of a Hong Kong limited company and an unlimited company for your company, you can always contact CLG Group for professional advice.

STEP

Prepare a company name. It is important to note that the Companies Registry has general requirements for company names in Hong Kong; for example, a Hong Kong company may register both an English name and a Chinese name, but neither a limited company nor an unlimited company may use a combination of English words and Chinese characters to form a name. The last word of the English name of a limited company must also be “Limited”, and the last word of the Chinese name of a limited company must be “有限公司”.

STEP
