What Hong Kong founders say about Sleek

“Sleek have been my company’s accountants and company secretary for years now. Yuk-Ming, Vienna and their teams are absolute pros at what they do — extremely reliable, highly knowledgeable, responsive and friendly. I’m convinced that Sleek is the best provider of its kind in Hong Kong and on top of that prices are affordable.”
Friedrich Ackermann | Caseus Limited
Friedrich Ackermann
“Sleek was extremely efficient, professional, responsive and reliable, from incorporating to facilitating regular operations of my Company. They have a team of bilingual professionals who are always ready to help. I now have my team of company secretary, CPA and registered offices all provided by Sleek. I will be setting up subsidiaries with Sleek and I recommend them 10 out of 10.”
Angela Hailey Yeung
“If you are a small business owner, or any business owner based in Hong Kong, needing an auditor, filing taxes, having a business address, annual secretary filing, and want a very streamlined process at fair price points, I highly recommend Sleek.”
Jay Ahn | Teach for Hong Kong Limited

Step 03
Upload your details
Share your director, shareholder, share capital details and KYC documents.
Step 04
We handle the filing

Check if your company name is available

*Subject to final approval by the Companies Registry. Company names must end in “Limited” or “有限公司”.

Should you incorporate yourself or use Sleek?

You can absolutely register a Hong Kong company yourself through the Companies Registry e-Registry. Here’s what each route actually involves:
Feature Sleek registered office (HK$2,000/year) Self-registration (DIY)
Cost From HK$4,973 all-in HK$3,895 in government fees only
What’s included Certificate of Incorporation, Business Registration Certificate, company secretary for year one, and statutory registers Certificate of Incorporation and Business Registration Certificate only; you arrange everything else separately
Timeline 1-4 business days Around ten business days, if your filing is correct the first time
Company secretary Sleek acts as your company secretary under TCSP licence TC006483 You must find a Hong Kong-resident individual or licensed TCSP yourself, then agree annual fees separately, typically HK$3,000 to HK$6,000 per year
Registered office address Central Hong Kong address with mailroom services, available as an add-on for HK$2,000/year You must use your own Hong Kong address, if you have one, or rent one separately
Significant Controllers Register Set up at incorporation and maintained as part of the package Your responsibility, with fines of up to HK$25,000 plus HK$700 per day for non-compliance
Annual Return filing Included in year one, with reminders for future years Your responsibility, with late filing penalties from HK$870 to HK$3,480
Bank account introduction Free Airwallex or Aspire account, opened in as little as 48 hours You apply to each bank independently, and most traditional banks take 2 to 8 weeks
Support Dedicated Hong Kong specialist in English or Cantonese Companies Registry and IRD helpdesks
Self-registration works if you already understand the Companies Ordinance, can find a Hong Kong-resident company secretary willing to take statutory responsibility, and have time to manage compliance deadlines yourself. 

For most first-time founders, the HK$1,078 difference between Sleek and DIY covers the parts that are hardest to do alone, and the mistakes that are most expensive to fix later.

How to set up your Hong Kong company with Sleek

Pick your business structure

Most founders set up a Hong Kong Limited Company (Ltd). It gives you limited liability and lets you take on staff or investors. Sleek's team helps you choose the right structure. If a sole proprietorship or partnership fits better, we'll tell you.

Check and reserve your company name

Your company name must end in "Limited" or "有限公司". It can't match an existing registered name. Sleek runs the name check on the Cyber Search Centre, flags any issues, and reserves your name as part of incorporation.

Provide your director and shareholder details

You provide a passport copy and proof of address (dated within 3 months) for each director and shareholder. Sleek prepares Form NNC1, runs KYC, and files everything with the Companies Registry. You don't fill in a single government form.

Set your share capital

Hong Kong has no minimum share capital. You can incorporate with HK$1. Sleek's default is 10,000 shares at HK$1 each. This gives you room to add investors or co-founders later without restructuring. We adjust if your business needs something different.

Use Sleek’s registered office in Central

Every Hong Kong company needs a physical registered office. No PO Boxes. Sleek's Central Hong Kong address is included in your package, with mail handling and digital scanning. You don't need to rent an office to incorporate.

Sleek serves as your company secretary

Every Hong Kong company needs a HK-resident company secretary from day one. Sleek takes this role for your first year, included in the package. We hold TCSP licence TC006483 and handle your Significant Controllers Register, Annual Return, and statutory registers.

Keep accounting on the same platform

Once your Hong Kong company is set up with Sleek, your books, payroll, and tax filing live in the same dashboard as your statutory documents. No data migration, no separate provider, no juggling logins.

FAQs about Hong Kong company incorporation

Why choose Hong Kong as a place of business?

Hong Kong offers a low tiered Profits Tax (8.25% on the first HK$2 million, 16.5% above), no Capital Gains Tax, no VAT/GST, and a territorial tax system (only HK-sourced profits are taxable). Foreign founders can own 100% of a Hong Kong company without a local partner. The legal system is English-language common law, and English is an official business language.

What is the minimum requirement to register a Hong Kong company?

Every HK private limited company needs: at least 1 director who is a natural person, at least 1 shareholder (can be the same individual), a HK-resident company secretary (or a HK-registered TCSP), a physical Hong Kong registered office address (no PO Boxes), and at least 1 share at any nominal value (HK$1 minimum). No minimum share capital required.

How much does it cost to incorporate a company in Hong Kong?

The minimum government cost for electronic incorporation in 2026 is HK$3,895, made up of the HK$1,545 Companies Registry incorporation fee and the HK$2,350 1-year Business Registration Certificate. Sleek’s Starter package is currently shown from HK$4,973, with registered office and higher compliance packages available as add-ons.

How long does it take to set up a Hong Kong company?

With Sleek, your Certificate of Incorporation is typically issued by the Companies Registry in 1–4 business days after we file your NNC1 electronically. Your Business Registration Certificate from the IRD follows within 1–2 business days. Most clients have a fully registered Hong Kong company within one week of submitting their KYC documents, with their free Airwallex business account active shortly after. Timelines depend on three things: how quickly you return signed documents and KYC, Companies Registry workload, and whether your proposed company name needs amendment. Paper filing takes 5–7 business days instead of 1–4, which is why Sleek files electronically by default.

Can I register my company online in Hong Kong?

Yes. The Companies Registry’s e-Registry accepts online submissions of Form NNC1 and supporting documents 24/7. With Sleek, you sign documents online via SleekSign and we file with the Companies Registry on your behalf — no need to visit any government office.

Do I need a company secretary in Hong Kong?

Yes. Every Hong Kong company must appoint a company secretary. If the company secretary is a corporate provider, it must be registered in Hong Kong and hold the appropriate TCSP licence. Sleek acts as company secretary in its incorporation packages.

Do I need a registered office address?

Yes. Every Hong Kong company is legally required to have a physical registered office address in Hong Kong. It cannot be a PO Box. If you do not want to use your own address, Sleek’s registered office and virtual mailroom can be added for HK$2,000/year. This keeps your home address off the public Companies Registry record and gives you scanned mail in one dashboard.

Is a business bank account guaranteed?

No. Sleek can introduce you to banking partners and help prepare the KYC documents, but account approval sits with the bank or banking partner.

What documents do I receive after incorporation?

You receive: Certificate of Incorporation (CI) from the Companies Registry, Business Registration Certificate (BRC) from the IRD, your company’s Articles of Association, share certificates for each shareholder, and your statutory registers (Register of Members, Directors, Charges, and Significant Controllers Register). With Sleek, all of these are stored in your dashboard for download.

What happens after my company is incorporated?

Annual obligations include: Annual Return (Form NAR1) filed within 42 days of your incorporation anniversary, Business Registration Certificate renewal (about a month before expiry), audited financial statements prepared annually, and Profits Tax Return (BIR51) filed with the IRD. If you hire staff, you also need MPF contributions and the Employer’s Return (Form BIR56A). Sleek handles all of these as part of your company secretary and accounting services.

Is the Starter plan enough for a new Hong Kong company?

Starter is enough if you mainly need the company set up first and do not expect much trading activity immediately. If you will invoice customers, hire staff, manage regular expenses or prepare for audit within the first year, Compliance or Full Compliance is usually cleaner because your bookkeeping and tax records start from day 1.
