Overview

A Hong Kong private company can be wholly foreign owned and is widely used for international trading, services, investment and regional operations.

Coutts Consultants coordinates hong kong foreign-owned private company formation as a defined Hong Kong professional-services engagement. We establish the client's commercial objective and review shareholders, directors, company secretary, registered office, share capital, articles, significant controllers and business activity.

Hong Kong combines Companies Registry requirements with Inland Revenue Department tax administration and, where relevant, Immigration Department, SFC, HKMA, Customs and sector-specific regulation. The engagement is scoped around the actual business rather than a generic package. We prepare a tailored evidence list and coordinate the appropriate authority, financial institution or Hong Kong specialist.

Reserved legal, tax, audit, immigration or regulated financial-services work is undertaken by appropriately qualified professionals, and all registrations, licences, visas and bank accounts remain subject to the competent authority or provider.
