You will need an account to receive money and pay your invoices. Emifast connects you with our partners and helps submit your application to a bank suited to your business.

Once all the documents are ready, it usually takes us 2-4 business days to register a company and obtain the business registration certificate issued by the business registration office of the Inland Revenue Department in Hong Kong. It mostly depends on when you have all the necessary documents ready as well as the service hours of the authorities.
Usually, it’ll take us 1 business day to register a company, assuming all documents are ready and it’s within the service hours of the authorities. Here’s what we need to proceed:
Your company name must follow these requirements:
Most business owners register their companies in the form of private limited companies in Hong Kong. To do so, you must meet the following requirements:
After meeting these requirements, you will need to apply for a valid business registration certificate through the Hong Kong Companies Registry to officially establish your business.
After registering a company in Hong Kong, you'll have a Company Constitution, a dedicated local Company Secretary, a registered business address, a business account, and a Business Registration Certificate. After that, we'll set up your accounting calendar to ensure you pay the right tax and remain compliant throughout the financial year.
After you have successfully registered your company, you can focus on the next steps. These include:
You can register a company even if you are not in Hong Kong. If you fulfil all the requirements during the online qualification process, your registration will be completed in 5-7 working days.
You are not required to be physically present in Hong Kong to register your company. If you have an agency to help register your company, all you have to do is send them the required documents.
