- Osome's Essential incorporation is HK$4,650; Sleek's Starter is from HK$4,982.
- Sleek's registered address costs HK$2,000 a year; Osome's add-on is HK$3,000.
- Osome's Unlimited plan covers company changes; Sleek includes them in Premium.
- Sleek's audit starts at HK$5,500; Osome's own guide lists audit from HK$6,488.
Sleek vs Osome is a closer call than most comparison pages admit. Both incorporate Hong Kong companies, act as company secretary, keep the books and arrange the audit, and both publish their prices. The headline incorporation fee is the least useful number on either page.
What changes the total is what you add in year one: a registered address, director changes, payroll or an audit. As of 27 October 2026, we’re cheaper on the address and the standard audit, while Osome’s per-change fees and Unlimited plan cost less if your shareholders change often.
In this guide, you’ll learn:
- What each provider sells in Hong Kong, and how the plans are split
- Both price lists side by side, with first- and second-year totals
- How company changes, audit and payroll pricing differ
- How banking help, set-up time and support compare
- Which to choose for your situation
Sleek vs Osome in Hong Kong: what’s the short answer?
Sleek costs less for the registered address, a single-shareholder audit and payroll. Osome costs less for incorporation without an address and for frequent director or shareholder changes. Both sell the same four services, and either way you end up with the same statutory set-up, so choose on what each plan includes.
- Osome costs less for: incorporation without an address, one or more director or shareholder changes a year, and audits for small companies with two or more shareholders.
- Sleek costs less for: the registered address, incorporation with an address, a single-shareholder audit, and payroll, which is included rather than charged per employee.
- About the same: entry-level accounting, at HK$3,500 per financial year from both.
Neither is cheaper overall. It depends on what your company adds in its first year.

When does Osome cost less?

The Aspire offer replaces Osome’s incorporation and address lines, and Comprehensive also includes unlimited company changes. No total includes company changes, payroll or a company chop, which each provider prices differently. For what the government fees cover, see what it costs to register a company in Hong Kong.
Which costs less for company changes, Sleek or Osome?
Osome costs less if you make one or more director or shareholder changes a year, because it charges per person rather than per change. With no changes, Sleek Standard is the cheapest option at HK$1,300 a year.
| Plan | Price a year | Director or shareholder changes | Share allotments or transfers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Osome Essential | HK$1,400 or HK$2,300 (the page shows both) | HK$660 per person | HK$880 per person |
| Osome Unlimited | HK$3,600 | Included “within normal limits” | Included “within normal limits” |
| Sleek Standard | From HK$1,300 | HK$2,500 per change | HK$2,500 per change |
| Sleek Premium | From HK$3,800 (one shareholder) | Included | Included |
What you’d pay a year, by number of changes
| Director or shareholder changes a year | Osome (Essential at HK$1,400) | Osome (Essential at HK$2,300) | Sleek |
|---|---|---|---|
| None | HK$1,400 | HK$2,300 | HK$1,300 (Standard) |
| 1 | HK$2,060 | HK$2,960 | HK$3,800 (Premium, or Standard plus one fee) |
| 2 | HK$2,720 | HK$3,600 (Unlimited) | HK$3,800 (Premium) |
| 3 | HK$3,380 | HK$3,600 (Unlimited) | HK$3,800 (Premium) |
| 4 or more | HK$3,600 (Unlimited) | HK$3,600 (Unlimited) | HK$3,800 (Premium) |
The cheapest plan on each side for a one-shareholder company, assuming each change involves one person at Osome’s HK$660 per person (share allotments and transfers are HK$880 per person on Osome Essential). Osome charges government fees and stamp duty separately on Unlimited, and its page doesn’t define “normal limits”, so ask. Sleek Standard includes routine amendments such as business particulars and registered office changes; Premium also includes a change of company name. Prices as of 27 October 2026.
- On Sleek: one change makes Standard plus the fee cost the same as Premium (HK$3,800), so if you expect any changes, choose Premium.
- On Osome: Essential stays cheaper than Unlimited until about four changes a year on the HK$1,400 price, or two on the HK$2,300 price.
- Several people in one change: appointing three directors at once costs HK$1,980 on Osome Essential and HK$2,500 on Sleek Standard. From four people, Sleek’s flat fee costs less.
Count the changes you expect in the next 12 months before you pick a plan: new directors, new shareholders, share transfers. That number decides which plan is cheaper on either side.
How do accounting, audit and offshore tax claims compare?
Sleek and Osome both start accounting at HK$3,500 per financial year, but price it on different measures. Sleek’s audit costs less for single-shareholder companies and includes an offshore claim in its Premium tier.
| Osome | Sleek | |
|---|---|---|
| Accounting priced by | Annual revenue or transaction count | Monthly expenses, and other factors such as shareholder count |
| Audit, one shareholder | From HK$6,488 a year (revenue under HK$200,000) | From HK$5,500 per financial year (assets under HK$10 million) |
| Audit, two or more shareholders | Priced by revenue, not shareholder count | From HK$8,250 per financial year |
| Offshore profits tax claim | Not mentioned on its audit page; ask for it in the quote | Included in Audit and Tax Filing Premium (HK$8,000) |
| Employer’s return | HK$440 per employee, as an add-on | Included in every accounting plan |
| Monthly payroll | A per-employee add-on (price not shown) | Included from the Standard accounting plan |
Prices as of 27 October 2026, from each provider’s own pages. See Sleek’s audit and tax filing service for what’s included.
Can Sleek or Osome help you open a business bank account?
Yes. Sleek and Osome both introduce you to account partners, but the partner decides whether to approve your account. Some partners are banks; others are licensed payment providers.
| Osome | Sleek | |
|---|---|---|
| Partners | DBS (a bank), Airwallex and WorldFirst, plus priority PayPal onboarding for foreign nationals | Airwallex or Aspire |
| Included in the plan | Help applying | A free business account and debit card, included in Starter |
| Timing | Set by each partner | As little as 48 hours, once approved |
| Who approves | The partner | The partner |
Bank or payment provider? Airwallex, Aspire and WorldFirst are licensed payment providers, not banks, so their accounts aren’t covered by the Deposit Protection Scheme. If you need a traditional bank, ask which partner fits your business before you incorporate. Sleek’s partner account process explains the documents you’ll need.
How do Sleek and Osome compare on set-up time and support?
Set-up takes about a week with both. Osome promises faster replies, while Sleek assigns a named accountant.

| How you get help | Live chat for company secretary questions, and a mobile app | A named, HKICPA-qualified accountant in Central |
| Languages | Not stated | English or Cantonese |
Sleek or Osome: which should you choose?
Choose by what your company needs in its first year, and how often its directors and shareholders will change.
| Your situation | Better fit | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Sole founder who needs an address and an audit | Sleek | Lower address price and single-shareholder audit price |
| Hiring staff in the first year | Sleek | Payroll and the employer’s return included, not charged per employee |
| Planning an offshore profits claim | Sleek | Offshore claim included in Audit and Tax Filing Premium |
| Two or more shareholders who need an audit | Osome | Its revenue-based audit can come in below Sleek’s two-shareholder price |
| Director or shareholder changes every year | Osome | Lower per-person fees, and Unlimited costs HK$200 less than Sleek Premium |
| Selling through online marketplaces | Osome | Marketplace connections in its Operate accounting plan |
| Opening an Aspire account anyway | Osome | Its Comprehensive offer with Aspire undercuts both providers’ list prices, while it runs |
When Osome is the better choice
- Your shareholders or directors change often: Osome charges per person, and Unlimited covers changes “within normal limits” for HK$3,600 a year.
- You have two or more shareholders and need an audit: Osome prices audit by revenue, so a small company can pay less than Sleek’s HK$8,250.
- You sell on marketplaces: its accounting connects to Amazon, Shopify, Lazada and eBay.
- You want fast replies in a chat window: Osome promises a 6-hour response, with live chat.
If company changes, marketplace sales or chat-first support matter most, Osome is likely the better fit.
When Sleek is the better choice
- You need a registered address: HK$2,000 a year against Osome’s HK$3,000 add-on.
- You’re a single-shareholder company that needs an audit: Sleek’s published audit price starts below Osome’s smallest tier, and Premium includes the offshore claim.
- You’ll hire staff: monthly payroll and the employer’s return are included from the Standard accounting plan.
- You want a named accountant: HKICPA-qualified, based in Central, working in English or Cantonese.
If the address, the audit and one accountant who knows your books matter most, Sleek is the simpler fit.
