The following Q&A helps us to get a deep understanding of the establishment and management of the
Hong Kong company.
1.Q: Is it feasible to register in Hong Kong but carry out business outside of Hong Kong? And if it is, how to operate?
A: The establishment of a company in Hong Kong may conduct normal legal operations outside of China; We can use the Hong Kong company to conduct sino-foreign trade, set up sino-foreign joint ventures (exclusive), open offshore accounts to collect foreign exchange, and set up domestic companies and so on.
2.Q: What materials and fees should we prepare? Is the registered capital required to be fully in place?
A: Please refer to the description of the establishment of HK company on our website to find the information you need to provide and the conditions that must be met. The registered capital (the capital verification) is required to be in place when setting up a Hong Kong company.
3.Q: What happens if you don't fund the Hong Kong company?
A: In order to attract clients to register Hong Kong company, a number of consulting companies' web pages headline that when registering company in Hong Kong, the funds don’t need to in place. Is it true? That limit company is the sense of the limited liability of the shareholders, and how is the limitation of the responsibilities of the shareholder? This depends on how much the shareholder subscribes after the company is registered or when the company is established. If shareholders subscribe to one million shares of one yuan each, shareholders will pay one million yuan for the company's responsibility. If the subscription shares are still not in place and the company fails, the Hong Kong companies registry will appoint a liquidator to collect the funds from the shareholders. The shareholders' liability is complete when the funds for the equity are received.
Sample 1:
The company registered capital of HK$ 10 million. The shareholder had subscribed ten million shares and injected all the funds into the company, and the shareholders' responsibility is completed. If the shareholder only invests 3 million yuan, if the company fails, the shareholder will pay 7 million yuan to the company.
Sample 2:
Company registered capital of HK$ 10 million. The shareholders take three million shares and inject three million into the firm, and the shareholder's responsibility is done. If the company fails, the shareholders have no responsibility.
From these examples, it's clear that the responsibility of the shareholders is to take a stake in the corporation, not to register capital.

A: Generally speaking, you can check the company's background record at the company registry after 16 working days. The information is stored in the form of the film to facilitate the public search. According to this situation, as long as it is a newly established company, we would like to open an account, and we'd better inform the relevant parties about 16 working days before we go to register. If the search company has been established for more than one month, the search results will be available in 3 days.
