First of all, you will have to pay the fee requested by the agency and choose a name for the company. The agency will then check that the name is still available (i.e. that there is not already a company with the same name).
You will then need to send a copy of your passport to Hong Kong, a copy of your driving license (or any other document on which your address is printed), a questionnaire that will contain standard information such as your address, passport number, name of the director and the shareholders (in case you are opening the company by yourself you can act as both director and sole shareholder), and so on.
For a “simple” company registration in hong kong, which should be enough unless you have specific needs, your agency will have to register a company in hong kong online (or E-registration, it takes about two hours to complete it), to get the certificate of incorporation (certificate of incorporation) and business license (business registration certificate) after verifying your identity through a Skype interview.
Or, if you want to open a multi-level company (which, as mentioned, is only needed in special cases), you will receive several pre-compiled documents from the agency (the “Form NC1 (Incorporation Form)” and the “Memorandum and Articles of Association, ”) so that both directors and shareholders can sign and send them back to the agency.
That’s all! The whole process should to open the company should last about five working days (but the agency will do most of the work).
