Choosing Hong Kong For Company Registration

Deciding on Hong Kong company registration may be an advantageous strategy for your business for many reasons. Apart from the attraction of Hong Kong as an international financial centre, the jurisdiction is also strategically located next to the powerhouse economy of Mainland China. Many entrepreneurs set up their business in Hong Kong for a number of reasons, but to be a part of the established financial services industry and/or for geographical strategic reasons are two of the biggest. If considering business expansion in the North Asia region Hong Kong company registrationcan be an affective choice. Following is information to consider when choosing the Hong Kong market for business.

Registering a Hong Kong company can involve complications that can cause the company registration process to be prolonged. The documents related to the process may be in English or Chinese. Engaging the services of an experienced corporate services provider can help to avoid any language barriers and subsequent misunderstandings that can occur. Such companies can help to expedite the company registration process considerably and also provide strategic advice on developing the most suitable company structure for your business needs. Research should be carried out to find a consultant that has specific experience with Hong Kong company registration, thorough knowledge of bodies such as the HK Inland Revenue Department (IRD) and established relationships with banks in Hong Kong.

A Hong Kong company registration may be a good move for your company to make for many reasons. Firstly, Hong Kong is not thought of as a ‘tax haven’, so doesn’t attract the attention that many other traditional low tax jurisdictions have recently received. Secondly, the government and political system are considered to be stable, which is another advantage. Thirdly, there is no requirement for the person running the business to be living in Hong Kong, which is another notable advantage for registering a Hong Kong company. There are more benefits to Hong Kong company registration, some of which are specific to different industry sectors.

In today’s rapidly expanding and interconnected world, Hong Kong has established itself as a leader in finance and economics. As the growth in China continues, the more likely businesses will be attracted to the north Asia region and specifically Hong Kong, to be a part of that growth, to contribute to it and benefit from it. Hong Kong company registration requires research and due diligence to ensure the most suitable company structure is developed and correct procedures are followed. Hong Kong has much to offer, not just within the North Asia region but as an international business hub.

Re: How to develop sales contacts? - [quote="gary_2000":3epzzq7u]I’m pretty new in the business and I've just gotten into selling and yesterday I made about 35 calls. Turned with two major prospects, but I was just wondering what are some other ways that you all use to make contacts?[/quote:3epzzq7u] We were in the same boat some time ago. We launched a large advertising campaign and in the end we received about 3 clients from it. The marketing was good but the distribution killed us (Canada Post sucks!). Anyways, we serviced those 3 clients like you would not believe, went above and beyond for them, and satisfied everything we possibly could. Now those 3 customers have brought us a significant amount of revenue and led to more leads throughout the time they have been with us. Our business depends on referrals and that’s how we’ve built the business. In the 2 years we’ve been running we catered to little over 250 customers world wide. We have clients in London, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Sydney, and evenly distributed through North America. We started with just 4 clients in the beginning! Keep making those calls and servicing them well! Good luck!!
The importance of a name - [quote="Takuya":3fcem7it]Thank you everyone. She will be a daddy's girl. Girls are so fun! Kevin, Names... I need to ALWAYS name my children by the way it can also be spelled in Japanese. All of my kids are dual citizens and Japanese don't carry letters like, V, TH, L, and most words tend to end with A, I, U, E, O or so I choose REINA, which is a Japanese name, yet can be said in English or even in Spanish (means Queen I found out) in order to have passports issued with the same spelling. My first boy is Kai - so once again, it sounds Japanese yet can be said in English. His middle name is Ichiro after the famous baseball player and I figured it should be his middle name instead of first because if you don't follow baseball, that's a hard name to remember. So even if my wife (Chinese American) wants English names like Jack, Sam, Kevin, Andy .... I'd have to spell out Jakku, Samu, Kebin, Andii -- you know, bit different. This way, REINA instead of more common RAYNA.[/quote:3fcem7it] Hi Takuya, I love the logic behind the naming of your children because it's like branding in business. Your kids have names that are easy to say and remember, yet they are spelled in a way that has cultural significance. On a side note, I've found that many Asian people (i.e. former co-workers and even my own family members from Hong Kong) spell and pronounce my name as Kelvin, Calvin or Keven.
