Sirius incorporated our Hong Kong subsidiary in 9 days from first contact. The entire process was remote — we never had to travel. Company secretary, BRC, and registered address were all arranged. We were trading within two weeks of instruction. Exceptional.

Sirius Global Solutions manages the entire Hong Kong company formation process remotely — from Companies Registry filing and company secretary appointment to Business Registration Certificate and corporate bank account introduction. You stay in the UK; we handle Hong Kong.
Hong Kong — Asia's Premier Business Gateway
Hong Kong's transparent legal system, low territorial tax regime, and strategic position at the heart of the Asia-Pacific make it the first choice for UK businesses entering Asian markets.
Hong Kong operates one of the world's most business-friendly corporate environments. Governed by the Companies Ordinance Cap. 622 and overseen by the Companies Registry, a Hong Kong Private Limited Company can be fully incorporated and operational within five to seven working days — entirely remotely from the UK.
The territorial tax system is a critical advantage. Only profits arising in or derived from Hong Kong are subject to Profits Tax. UK businesses trading with customers outside Hong Kong — for example, connecting UK suppliers with Chinese or Southeast Asian buyers — may legitimately structure their operations to qualify for an offshore profits tax exemption, subject to careful compliance with Inland Revenue Department (IRD) requirements.
There is no VAT or GST in Hong Kong, no capital gains tax, no withholding tax on dividends paid to overseas shareholders, and no restrictions on repatriating profits to the UK. Combined with Hong Kong's extensive network of tax treaties and its role as a hub for RMB settlement, this creates a compelling commercial and tax efficiency case for UK businesses with Asian ambitions.
Sirius Global Solutions manages the complete formation process from our Stanmore office — liaising directly with our Hong Kong-based partner company secretaries and licensed accountants so you never need to travel.

What Our HK Incorporation Clients Say
Real experiences from UK entrepreneurs and businesses that have incorporated in Hong Kong through Sirius Global Solutions.
We needed a Hong Kong holding company as part of a cross-border structure. Sirius advised on both the UK and HK tax implications, designed the share structure, and handled every document. Their dual jurisdiction knowledge is genuinely rare — and invaluable.
The banking piece was what I was most worried about. Sirius walked us through which HK banks accept non-resident corporate applications, prepared our full KYC pack, and introduced us to an Airwallex digital account that was open within days. Couldn't have done it without them.
