Why every Hong Kong company needs a company secretary

Every Hong Kong company must appoint a company secretary. It’s a legal requirement under the Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622), not an optional extra.

Mandatory

Required for every Hong Kong company under the Companies Ordinance.

Qualified

Must be a Hong Kong resident or a licensed TCSP.

Can’t double up

A sole director can’t also be the sole company secretary.

A company secretary helps keep your company compliant by filing the Annual Return, maintaining statutory registers, and tracking the deadlines that matter.

Three ways to meet your Hong Kong company secretary requirement


Feature	Sleek	Traditional HK provider	DIY (HK-resident individual)
Annual fee	HK$1,300–3,800, priced by shareholder count, with unlimited routine amendments	HK$2,500–5,000 base fee + HK$500–2,500 per amendment	HK$0 provider cost; needs a willing HK-resident
TCSP licence	Yes; TC006483	Usually yes; verify the licence number	Not applicable; HK-resident individuals are exempt under Cap. 622
Per-change fees	None for routine changes; Premium covers structural changes (director and shareholder changes)	Usually per event, such as director changes, share allotments, and name changes	No provider fees, but you handle the filing yourself
Deadline tracking	Automated; 60 days before NAR1 and 30 days before other deadlines	Usually manual or verbal reminders; deadlines can be missed	Your responsibility; late filings risk HK$870–3,480 penalties
SCR Designated Representative	Yes; included in both Standard and Premium tiers	Sometimes available, often at extra cost of HK$500–1,500/yr	You must appoint yourself or another eligible HK professional
Continuity if your secretary leaves	High; Sleek can reassign within the HK team	Moderate; continuity sits at firm level	Low; you must replace within 15 days if they stop acting

A traditional Hong Kong provider can work well if you have a stable corporate structure and value a personal advisor relationship. DIY works if you have a dependable HK-resident contact and rarely change directors or shareholdings.

Sleek fits growing Hong Kong SMEs that want predictable annual pricing and the freedom to make routine changes without per-change fees.

What’s included in Sleek’s company secretary service

A statutory company secretary is more than a name on file. Here’s what Sleek handles for you, year-round.

Statutory filings with the Companies Registry

We file your Annual Return (NAR1) on time each year, including the filing fee, and submit changes to directors, registered office, and business particulars within their statutory deadlines. You never track a filing date yourself.

Maintenance of statutory registers

We keep your Register of Members, Directors, Secretaries, Charges, and the Significant Controllers Register up to date and ready for inspection, as required under the Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622).

AGM preparation and documentation

We prepare your AGM notice, resolutions, and written shareholder resolutions, and keep the related records and minutes. Under Section 610 of the Companies Ordinance, most Hong Kong private limited companies must hold an AGM each year, unless they dispense with it by written resolution.

Designated Representative for the SCR

We act as your Designated Representative for the Significant Controllers Register. This is the statutory contact for law-enforcement inquiries about beneficial ownership and is required for Hong Kong private companies.

Liaison with Hong Kong authorities

We are your point of contact with the Companies Registry, Inland Revenue Department, and other government bodies on statutory matters.

FAQs about Hong Kong company secretary services

Is a company secretary mandatory for my Hong Kong company?

Yes. Under Section 474 of the Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622), every Hong Kong limited company must appoint a company secretary. The company secretary must be either a HK-resident natural person aged 18 or older, OR a body corporate holding a Trust or Company Service Provider (TCSP) licence with a HK registered office. The sole director of a private company cannot also act as the company secretary.

How much does a company secretary cost in Hong Kong?

Sleek’s company secretary service starts at HK$1,300/year for Standard (1 shareholder) and HK$3,800/year for Premium (structural changes included). Both include unlimited routine amendments. Traditional Hong Kong providers typically charge HK$2,500–5,000/year plus HK$500–2,500 per amendment; a DIY arrangement with a HK-resident individual has no provider cost but depends on having a reliable Hong Kong-resident individual who knows Cap. 622 and can meet every deadline.

What does a company secretary do, and what's included?

A company secretary keeps your company compliant by maintaining statutory registers and the Significant Controllers Register, preparing and filing the Annual Return (NAR1), supporting your AGM and resolutions, lodging change filings, and tracking deadlines. Sleek’s service covers all of this with a dedicated contact. Accounting, audit and tax filing are separate services you can add.

How does switching company secretary to Sleek work?

Sleek’s migration manager coordinates with your current provider to obtain your statutory registers, AGM resolutions, and prior filings. You sign the engagement letter and Form ND2A (Notice of Change of Company Secretary) via SleekSign. Sleek files Form ND2A with the Companies Registry within the 15-day statutory window. Most switches complete within 2 weeks of kickoff.

What's the difference between a company secretary and a designated representative?

A company secretary is the statutory officer responsible for core company compliance under the Companies Ordinance — maintaining statutory registers, filing Annual Returns, organising AGMs, and serving as the contact point with the Companies Registry. A designated representative is appointed separately to manage the Significant Controllers Register and respond to law enforcement inquiries about beneficial ownership. Sleek serves as both for clients on Standard and Premium tiers.

What does "unlimited amendments" mean?

Routine amendments to your corporate information (change of registered office address, change in business particulars, declaration of dormancy, interim dividend distribution, change of business name or nature, and branch applications) are included in both Standard and Premium tiers at no per-change fee, with no annual cap. Structural changes (change of director, allotment of shares, and transfer of shares) are included in the Premium tier. On Standard, each director or share change is HK$2,500 per event, typically completed in 5–7 working days. If you expect frequent structural changes, the Premium tier is the better fit.

Can a sole director also be the company secretary?

No. Under the Companies Ordinance, the sole director of a private company cannot also act as the company secretary. If your private company has more than one director, one of them can be appointed as company secretary. For companies with only one director, you must appoint either a HK-resident individual (not the sole director) or a TCSP-licensed corporate service provider like Sleek.

When should I switch my company secretary?

Common triggers include hidden or unexpected fees, late or incorrect bills, a missed Business Registration renewal, missed Annual Return or other filing deadlines, or an unresponsive provider when you need urgent updates. These can lead to Companies Registry penalties (HK$870–3,480 for a late Annual Return) and operational disruption. Sleek’s flat annual fee with no per-change charges is built to remove exactly these problems.

Will my price go up at renewal?

No. Sleek’s company secretary fee is an annual fixed price that only changes if your shareholder count changes. It is not a year-one promo, and there is no locked-in multi-year contract. The separate government Business Registration fee can change over time. From 1 April 2026, that fee is HK$2,350, and it is shown as a separate line item, not a hidden Sleek charge.

Can I cancel mid-year if it's not working out?

Yes. You can cancel with 30 days’ written notice. The annual fee is paid upfront and non-refundable for the unused portion of the year, except in cases where Sleek has materially failed to deliver — in which case a pro-rata refund applies under our Terms and Conditions. You file Form ND2A with the Companies Registry to formally change company secretary; Sleek’s offboarding process includes filing this for you and handing over your statutory registers to the new provider. After cancellation, you have 12 months to export your records from the Sleek dashboard.
