Company Secretarial Service
The Firm provides a comprehensive range of company secretarial services.
In addition to incorporation of Hong Kong companies, the Firm maintains corporate records and attends to the preparation and filing of annual returns and other documents for companies incorporated in Hong Kong, the British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Bermuda and other jurisdictions. We offer comprehensive and tailor-made corporate/company secretarial services as follows:
I. Incorporation of Company
Hong Kong companies and offshore companies are incorporated for different reasons.
Some of the reasons are:
• Fund raising and financing
Limited companies are favorable vehicles through which venture capital firms and
investors make their investments/inject funding
• Initial Public Offer
Offshore companies are the predominant holding vehicles for listing on the main board
and GEM board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange
• Tax consideration
The comparatively low flat tax rate on profits and low personal salary tax rates have encouraged
dynamic growth in local, regional and international business centered around Hong Kong. In many
offshore jurisdictions, at this moment, there is no levy of profits tax on corporations
• Foreign exchange control
There is no foreign exchange control in Hong Kong and in many offshore jurisdictions
• Confidentiality/Anonymity
In Hong Kong and in some offshore jurisdictions, it is legal to have nominee shareholders/
directors, which means the identity of shareholders/ directors could be kept confidential. In some
offshore jurisdictions, it is even possible to issue bearer shares to shareholders whose identities will
not be disclosed
