COMPANY FORMATION AND

Hong Kong Company Formation /
Overseas Company Formation Services
Since the recent economic downturn the scale of business risk is greater even for Hong Kong and PRC where the effects of the financial chaos were felt the least. A Hong Kong limited company or overseas limited company is now a better means to carry on business while risks as far as possible. The formation of a Hong Kong company or an offshore company is commonly used to mitigate the level of business risk to the shareholders. We are a company with formation expertise that has extensive experience of providing formation services in Hong Kong, PRC and many other jurisdictions.
A Hong Kong Registered company requires a Hong Kong registered office so that our office, supported by our Business Center services can be nominated as the registered address of your company for receiving official government communications, tax returns, and bank statements etc.
There are basically two categories of Hong Kong company formation with shares being the tailor-made Hong Kong Company and the off-shelf Hong Kong Company. The tailor-made company formation takes around 10 working days whereas the off-shelf company takes only 2 to 4 working days to complete incorporation.

Company Formation
A Company formed with limited liability can provide definite advantages to mitigate investment risks. Investors will normally only be liable for the amount of authorized share capital invested in the company but will not have personal liability should the company fail. Thus, company formation with limited liability will suit those companies which are either engaged in higher risk industries or where many investors are involved. If these businesses are undertaken in an overseas country then an overseas company formation will often be more appropriate for risk management and investor tax planning purposes.
We provide specialist corporate services for company formation incorporated in Hong Kong or in overseas countries:
Category one:
Limited Company formation incorporated in HK includes
(i) The tailor-made company
the name of the company is selected by the client
(ii) Ready-made off-shelf company formation:
the name of the company has been previously decided and the client can opt to change it later.
Category two:
Overseas company formation
Overseas company in Hong Kong means the company incorporating in overseas jurisdictions like Marshall Islands, British Virgin Islands or other tax haven countries. The advantage of using an overseas company is that if such company is not running business in Hong Kong, even if its registered address is in Hong Kong, the company may not be required to submit financial information (such as audited accounts) to Hong Kong Government. Of course the company need not pay any tax to Hong Kong Inland Revenue Department if no business activities are undertaken in Hong Kong.
