Free Company Formation in Hong Kong

We recently received an inquiry about forming a Hong Kong company. The client informs us that he discovered a Hong Kong corporate service provider (the provider) on Google and that the provider is offering free company formation services as part of a Christmas promotional campaign.

After some online chatting with this service provider, the client remains perplexed as to how some people can make such an enticing offer while our company must charge him for "the same" service, so he requests a comparison of those services.

We calculated how they could reduce the cost of Hong Kong incorporation service to zero based on what the client told us and what we saw on their website (our thoughts are also included.)

Free Business Formation?

The offer, like nearly all marketing campaigns, has a quota and will not be available indefinitely. You must still pay government fees totaling HK$3970 for "incorporation fee" and "business registration fee and levy," which include a one-time setup fee and a one-year certificate.

Remote incorporation service?

The Hong Kong Companies Registry (CR) has launched a web portal for registered users to fill out and submit incorporation forms online, as well as an online company search, allowing you to incorporate your Hong Kong company from anywhere.


The following are typical company setup procedures with the assistance of providers:

  • You fill an application form which covers all the registration information, such as company name, registered office address, statutory company secretary, directors and shareholders particulars, share capital arrangement ,and shareholdings structure.
  • The provider check if your preferred company name is available for registration, and review the form.
  • You confirm the order and pay the service fee and government fees online to the provider.
  • You provider prepare all the incorporation documents and for your new company, and send it to your address.
  • You sign them, and return them to the provider by post.
  • Your provider submit the form to CR via the web portal.
  • In one business day, CR can complete the registration process (your company is registered)
  • Your provider send the Certificate of Incorporation and Business Registration Certificate to you.

The entire company formation service can be done remotely, and the registration can be completed in one business day. It saves us much time and afford in filing documents and waiting for approval.

We believe that every providers have been utilizing all CR online portal because “one-day incorporation” and “remote company formation” have been the norm in the industry.

Be reminded, you may bear all documents postal fee of unless it is specified.
