Franchises for sale in Hong Kong

Updated 4 November 2026

Approximately, according to franchisors' websites in November 2026, one Hong Kong convenience-store franchise asks for HK$500,000 to HK$800,000 for the franchise fee and a deposit on opening stock, so budget before you look at brands. The quickest way to see what a current opportunity needs is to describe the franchise you want on BlaBlaPrice and compare the replies.

Licences and registration

A Business Registration Certificate is a tax registration rather than a licence, and a one-year certificate costs HK$2,350 from 1 April 2026. Some sectors need their own permits. The Food and Environmental Hygiene Department publishes a guide to the licences needed for regulated activities, so check it before you sign a franchise agreement. Sector rules can also set capital levels: travel agencies, for example, face dual HK$500,000 requirements.

Fees, royalties and tax

Franchisees normally pay a franchise fee to the brand and a percentage of profit as royalty, so ask for both figures in writing. Profits tax is charged at 8.25% on the first HK$2 million of assessable profits and at 16.5% above that, which changes any payback calculation. Ask the franchisor how much support it gives in the first year and what it expects from your own experience in the business.

Season and market

In Hong Kong winter runs from December to February and summer from June to August, and trade for many franchise types may shift with these seasons, so ask for sales by month, not just a yearly total. According to estimates from the Hong Kong Franchise Association, around 43% of franchises here are in catering and 20% in retailing. High commercial rents are a major entry barrier, as trade reports note, so plan premises costs early.

What to put in your request

Name the franchise sector, your investment amount and the city you want to open in: Central, Kowloon, Sha Tin, Tsuen Wan or Tuen Mun. Add the premises you have or need, the payback period you expect, the franchise fee and royalty you have been offered, how much franchisor support you need and your own experience in the business. Sellers reply with what they can offer, and you decide who to contact.
