Registration and licences you need first

A Business Registration Certificate is a tax registration, not a licence to trade, and the Inland Revenue Department handles it. Some sectors need extra licences from government. Travel agents, for example, must show paid-up share capital and a bank guarantee, so check the sector before you choose a provider. The government's licensing and permits finder lists what your business needs.

Timing around the fee year

The HK$2,350 one-year fee applies from 1 April 2026, and company incorporation totals are quoted for the 2026/27 financial year. Check any older quote against those dates. Climate does not change this service, so you can start at any time of year, but ask for the current fee schedule before you sign.

How these services are priced

Government fees and provider fees are usually shown separately. In 2026 the government cost to incorporate a limited company is HK$3,895, made up of a HK$1,545 incorporation fee and the HK$2,350 registration. Annual filings add a HK$105 Companies Registry annual-return fee. Many providers sell a package that includes a company secretary and a registered address for a year, so compare the bundle with the separate costs.

What to write in your request

Name the service you need, such as accounting, company formation, certified translation, website, IT support, insurance or premises security. Say whether you are a company or a sole proprietor, whether the job is one-off or yearly, the language of the documents, your district, your deadline and your budget. The more exact the scope, the fewer questions a provider has to ask before quoting.
