Questions

Common questions about Hong Kong companies

How long does it take to set up a Hong Kong company?

A new company is usually ready in about eight working days after we receive complete information, and a ready-made company in about three working days. Government processing time is separate.

What does a Hong Kong company need each year?

Typically an annual return to the Companies Registry, renewal of business registration, a registered office address in Hong Kong, a company secretary, an up-to-date significant controllers register and designated representative, and a Profits Tax return filed with audited financial statements.

Who can act as company secretary?

A private company must have a company secretary. An individual must ordinarily reside in Hong Kong, and a company must have its registered office or a place of business in Hong Kong. R & R can act as your company secretary.

Can you set up companies outside Hong Kong?

Yes. R & R can arrange companies in jurisdictions including the British Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands, Seychelles and Samoa. Fees for overseas companies are provided on request.
