Setting Up in Hong Kong

Opening the Gates to Asia’s International City

Set up a company in Hong Kong to gain access to one of the world’s most important trading centres. As a Special Administrative Region of China, Hong Kong continues to offer plentiful opportunities for foreign investment and room for sustained growth. Its established legal and administrative bodies and simple tax regime is coupled with a world-class banking system and easy access to major financial hubs in the region. These factors make it an ideal location for your company’s headquarters in Asia, as well as offering a strategic springboard into the Chinese market.

Strategic Positioning

Nestled in the heart of Asia, Hong Kong is only a brief 5-hour flight from most major cities in Mainland China; half the world’s population and one of the fastest-growing markets is only a 5-hour flight away. Our international airport counts as among the busiest in the region, with direct flights to over 180 international destinations worldwide including 44 major cities in China.

Gateway to China

For the past 150 years, Hong Kong has served as the preferred gateway into China. Its advanced infrastructure, unique geographical location between the East and West and great industrial spirit has firmly established it as Asia’s leading commercial, financial, legal and logistics centre. As China opens its trade to the world, Hong Kong’s natural position as the gateway into this thriving market cannot be underestimated. Not only does the HKSAR have the advantage of long-term experience trading with China, it is also culturally and linguistically compatible in a way few other trading hubs can boast of.

Setting up a company in Hong Kong is fast and easy and provides an ideal vehicle for further expansion in the region. Among the many benefits of using a Hong Kong company as a key to investment in China is that companies in the region receive preferential tax treatment under the current CEPA (“Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement“) regime between China and Hong Kong. In addition, Chinese is the official language of law in Hong Kong as well as in Mainland China, offering a practical advantage for foreign investors negotiating this dynamic new market.

Apart from its strategic relationship with China, Hong Kong has also entered into various Double Tax Treaties or Agreements with over 53 countries worldwide, allowing for great tax incentives in Hong Kong as a hub for conducting international trade within Asia.
