Registering a company in Hong Kong is a streamlined process, especially attractive to foreign investors due to its business-friendly environment. However, certain key documents are required to complete the Hong Kong company registration legally and efficiently.

The primary document is the Articles of Association, which outlines the company’s structure, rules, and internal governance. Alongside this, you must submit Form NNC1 (for a company limited by shares) or Form NNC1G (for a company not limited by shares) to the Companies Registry. These forms include essential details such as company name, registered address, director(s), shareholder(s), and company secretary.

Each director and shareholder must provide a copy of their passport (for foreigners) or Hong Kong ID (for residents), along with proof of residential address (e.g., utility bill or bank statement). Corporate shareholders need to submit a Certificate of Incorporation and board resolution authorizing the investment.

A registered office address in Hong Kong is mandatory, as is the appointment of a Hong Kong-based company secretary, either an individual resident or a licensed corporate entity.

Once all documents are prepared, the company can be registered online or in person. Ensuring all information is accurate and complete helps avoid delays or rejections during the registration process.
