Company
Secretarial Services

Setting up a business in Hong Kong offers numerous advantages; however, before proceeding with company incorporation, it is important to consider certain factors. Specifically, one must find a company secretary for the new company in Hong Kong.

As per the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622), a limited company in Hong Kong is required to appoint a local Company Secretary to comply with regulations.

A professional corporate company secretary must obtain a TCSP license (approval license) from the Companies Registry to provide such services to clients. KernelBiz holds a valid TCSP license and is qualified to offer corporate services to its clients.

A Company Secretary in Hong Kong must fulfill one of the following criteria:

​

1. A natural person aged 18 or above, residing in Hong Kong.

2. A body corporate with its registered place or a place of business in Hong Kong.

Our Company is capable of serving as a Company Secretary for your company, ensuring compliance with Hong Kong's statutory obligations.

Our comprehensive Annual Company Secretary Service includes:

- Acting as the named Company Secretary for your Hong Kong limited company.

- Maintaining accurate statutory records.

- Preparing and submitting the Annual Return to the Hong Kong Companies Registry.

In addition to appointing a local Company Secretary, a Hong Kong company must also designate a local Designated Representative (DR). The Designated Representative's role is to assist law enforcement officers with inspections of the company's Significant Controller Register (SCR) upon request.

The Designated Representative of a company must meet one of the following criteria:

1. A member, director, or employee of the company who is a natural person residing in Hong Kong.

2. An accounting professional, a legal professional, or a Trust & Corporate Service Provider (TCSP) licensee as defined in the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorist Financing Ordinance, Cap. 615.

Our company is capable of acting as a Designated Representative to fulfill the relevant requirement.
