Why Hong Kong?

The Hong Kong Limited Company (Ltd) is one of the world’s premier business structures. A common law system, territorial tax model, and position as the gateway to mainland China make Hong Kong ideal for international entrepreneurs, traders, and investors.

Note for U.S. citizens: The U.S. taxes citizens on worldwide income regardless of residence. Hong Kong’s territorial system benefits non-U.S. persons directly. Americans can still benefit from Hong Kong’s banking access, business credibility, and Asia-Pacific presence.

Zero Tax on Offshore Profits – Profits sourced outside Hong Kong are exempt from tax

Low Corporate Tax – 8.25% on first HKD 2 million, 16.5% above (on HK-source profits only)

100% Foreign Ownership – No local shareholder or director required

No Capital Gains Tax – No tax on disposal of capital assets

World-Class Banking – Access to HSBC, Hang Seng, DBS, Standard Chartered, and mainland China connectivity

Fast Incorporation – Typically completed in 7-10 business days
