Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between incorporation and business registration?
Incorporation registers your company as a legal entity with the Companies Registry. Business registration is a separate, mandatory tax registration with the Inland Revenue Department. We file both simultaneously.
How long does incorporation take?
Electronic filings are typically approved within 1 business day, with the full process — including document preparation — completed in approximately 5 business days.
Can a foreigner be the sole director and shareholder?
Yes. Hong Kong law permits 100% foreign ownership, and a single individual can act as both the sole director and sole shareholder.
