Only Two Weeks to Register a Company in Hong Kong at These Reduced Rates

You only have until the end of March to register a company in Hong Kong at reduced rates, here’s what you need to know.

In 2016 the Hong Kong Company Registry introduced a waiver for the prescribed business registration fee payable in respect to company incorporation and business registration, this reduced the overall price for registering a company in Hong Kong by HK$2000.00 ($260.00 USD). This waiver is set to expire on the 1st of April 2017, leaving you with only a few more days to take advantage of the reduced pricing, and we would recommend getting on it right away. The current cost for setting up a company is $900 USD all inclusive, which will be US$1160 by the end of March.

Hongda are experts at registering companies in Hong Kong and will have your company up and running with no hassles, the best part is you don’t have to be in Hong Kong to start the process.

Why Hong Kong?

Besides being one of the most diverse and coolest places on earth, Hong Kong has long been a haven for startups, expanding businesses, joint ventures and generally any company looking to get a foothold in Asia. In Hong Kong, the only direct form of taxation on any business is that of profits tax pegged at 16.5% and 15% for unincorporated organizations such as a sole proprietorship. Taxation is explained here by Hong Kong’s Inland Revenue Department (IRD).

As a place to live and do business there is almost no parallel in Asia, with one foot still planted firmly in its colonial British past, and the other in the fast-moving melee of modern Southeast Asia, and China specifically. Hong Kong is often referred to as “The Pearl of the Orient,” and it’s easy to see how highly thought of and precious this place is on the world stage, and more notably as one of the most important global financial and service providers in the world. Find out more about doing business in Hong Kong with this free eBook:
