Hong Kong company incorporation services help entrepreneurs and groups set up a limited company under the Companies Ordinance — often the first step into Asia’s finance hub. VCL provides practical incorporation services in Hong Kong from our Cheung Sha Wan office: name check, Companies Registry filing, business registration and first-year company secretary. Serving local and overseas clients since 2012.
Why choose Hong Kong company incorporation
- Clear Companies Ordinance framework
- International finance centre with banking access
- No foreign-exchange controls in the usual sense
- Profits tax with territorial-source features; two-tier rates per current IRD rules
- One-stop link to company secretary, accounting, audit and profits tax
Typical requirements
- At least one director and one shareholder aged 18+ (nationality generally unrestricted)
- A Hong Kong registered office address
- A company secretary who is a Hong Kong resident individual or a qualified corporate secretary
Incorporation process
- Name check and structure — confirm Chinese/English names, shareholders, directors and share capital.
- Prepare and sign documents — identity/address proofs, incorporation form and articles.
- File with the Companies Registry — electronic filing when ready; business registration in parallel.
- Collect certificates and first-year setup — CI and BR, chops, statutory records and first-year company secretary.
Electronic filings can be fast when information is complete; conventional applications often take several to around ten working days.
Documents usually needed
- Identity proof for each director/shareholder (HKID or passport)
- Residential address proof (as required for KYC / bank introductions)
- Proposed Chinese and English company names and principal business nature
- Corporate shareholders: company proofs and resolutions (as applicable)
