Company Registration in Hong Kong
An international financial center with strong legal protections. Corporate tax rate of 16.5%, no VAT/sales tax, facilitating tax optimization. Bank accounts can be opened quickly with no currency restrictions. Full 100% foreign ownership is permitted (registration requires a resident director from any country). Restrictions: tightening political situation and growing competition from China, but the reputation as a 'silver door' to China remains.
