6 Tips about the Registered Address of your Hong Kong Company

Your company registered address is the address listed in the records of the Hong Kong government.
Here’s 6 tips about the registered address of your Hong Kong company.
According to Section 658 of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance of Hong Kong, all Hong Kong companies must have a registered office address in Hong Kong.
This is the address where all communications and government notices can be sent.
The Hong Kong SAR government usually sends letters to your company address each year: 1 from the Statistics Department and 3 from the Inland Revenue Department.
All of these letters have a set submission deadline attached. A late fee will incur if that deadline is missed.
This registered address is only used for the administrative registration of your company and not for official business use.

Considering all of these points, most entrepreneurs prefer having another registered office address even if they continue to run their business from home for privacy.
The standard practice is to use the registered address services of a professional company secretary such as Air Corporate.
This ensures compliance and also avoiding any mistake in timely receipt or handling of government notices.
Most companies choose to keep their company documents and statutory records (such as the registers of members, register of directors, significant controllers register) at their registered office address.
However, this is not compulsory. The statutory records can be kept at another address in Hong Kong.
In this case, a NR2 Form shall be filed with the Companies Registry regarding the address at which the statutory records are kept.
Using the registered address services of Air Corporate guarantees compliance with applicable laws.
