Overview

A Hong Kong private company limited by shares is a mainstream Asian corporate vehicle for trading, regional headquarters, investment and international business.

Coutts Consultants coordinates the formation or establishment as a managed international project: we first establish the client's intended activity, ownership, target markets and banking requirements; then work with the appropriate local corporate-service, fiduciary or professional provider to prepare the structure and complete the required registration.

The service is intended for clients who want a properly constituted vehicle rather than a bare registry filing. Where tax, legal, regulatory, licensing, immigration or regulated fiduciary advice is required, this is provided or confirmed by appropriately qualified advisers in the relevant jurisdiction.

Banking and third-party approvals are separate decisions and are never guaranteed.

Why Hong Kong?

A real Hong Kong structure matched to the intended activity

One coordinated point of contact

Local professional execution where required

Clear KYC and document requirements

Practical handover for banking, tax and ongoing administration
