    Hong Kong Incorporation FAQs for United States-Based Founders

    Can a person or company from United States own 100% of a Private Limited Company in Hong Kong?

    In almost all cases, yes — Hong Kong permits 1 shareholder (100% foreign ownership permitted), with no restriction based on the founder's country of origin, including United States.

    Do I need to travel from United States to Hong Kong to incorporate?

    No, the entire process is handled remotely. We prepare, notarise or apostille (where required), and file all documents with the Companies Registry (CR) & Inland Revenue Department (IRD) on your behalf.

    How long does Private Limited Company registration in Hong Kong take when applying from United States?

    Typical turnaround is 5–7 business days, though courier time for notarised documents from United States can add a few extra days depending on your location.

    What tax rate will my Hong Kong company pay?

    Hong Kong applies 16.5% profits tax (8.25% on first HK$2M); 0% on offshore-sourced profits under territorial system. We review your structure to confirm the exact liability and identify any relief available under a tax treaty between Hong Kong and United States.

    Can profits be repatriated from Hong Kong back to United States?

    Yes, subject to Hong Kong's standard dividend distribution rules. Where a double tax treaty exists between Hong Kong and United States, we structure repatriation to take advantage of any available relief.
