How much does a Hong Kong company cost?
Government fees, secretary, accounting, banking: the real cost of a Hong Kong company, broken down item by item, with no hidden fees.
“How much does it cost?” is every entrepreneur’s first question. Here is an honest breakdown of the cost of a Hong Kong company in 2026.
Mandatory government fees
These are set by the Hong Kong government and identical for everyone:
- Companies Registry (incorporation): ~HK$1,720
- Business Registration (1 year): ~HK$2,200
Annual service fees
By law, a Hong Kong company requires:
- A Company Secretary (mandatory)
- A registered office in Hong Kong
- Filing the Annual Return
These are usually bundled into an annual management package.
Accounting and audit
Every company must produce audited accounts by a local CPA. The cost depends on transaction volume: a dormant company costs little, an active one with hundreds of operations costs more.
Bank account opening
Account-opening support (KYC preparation, introduction, coaching) is often billed separately or included depending on the provider.
Why we don’t publish a fixed price
Because a freelance consultant and a wealth-holding structure do not have the same needs. A one-size-fits-all package means either paying for services you don’t need, or discovering hidden fees later.
