Business World will help you determine the best structure for your business based on your needs and goals.
Choose a Business Name and Register It
Next, you need to choose a unique and appropriate name for your business. The name must not be similar to any existing company names and must comply with the naming guidelines set by the Hong Kong Companies Registry. Business World can assist you in choosing and registering a suitable name for your business.
Register an Address
You will need a registered office address in Hong Kong to register your business. This address will be used for official correspondence and must be a physical location (not a P.O. Box). Business World will help you find and register a suitable business address that meets Hong Kong's requirements.
Register with the Companies Registry
You will need to register your business with the Hong Kong Companies Registry, the official registrar of companies. This typically involves submitting incorporation documents such as the Articles of Association and details of directors and shareholders. Business World will handle the submission of your registration documents and ensure compliance with Hong Kong's regulations.
Obtain Necessary Licenses and Permits
Depending on your industry, you may need to obtain various licenses and permits to legally operate your business in Hong Kong. For example, financial services require approval from the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) and restaurants require a license from the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD). Business World will help you identify and apply for the necessary licenses and permits.
Open a Corporate Bank Account
Opening a corporate bank account is essential for managing your company's finances. Hong Kong offers a variety of banking options with features such as international money transfers, multi-currency accounts and business loans. Business World will assist you in selecting the best bank for your business needs and help you open your account efficiently.
Register for Taxes
After registering your business, you must register for taxes with the Hong Kong Inland Revenue Department (IRD). This includes Profits Tax, Salaries Tax and Employer Obligations. Business World will guide you through the tax registration process to ensure compliance with all tax obligations.

When registering a business in Hong Kong, it is essential to choose the right business entity, as each type has distinct legal and tax implications. The most common business structures include Private Limited Company (Ltd), Sole Proprietorship, Partnership, Branch Office and Representative Office.
