Hong Kong company annual review involves the regular renewal of the Business Registration Certificate and the submission of an annual return. Failure to comply can result in hefty fines and even criminal charges.
For many business owners, the annual review process is cumbersome and detailed, making it
easy to incur violations due to missing documents
or missed deadlines.

We have to add a new director to our company midway through. We don't know how to handle it ourselves. I read online that someone recommended OneSEC, so I tried to get their help. They are familiar with the procedures of the company registry, all the forms and documents are processed quickly, the process is really super fast and smooth~

We came across a LinkedIn post sharing a positive experience with OneSec’s EMF application support, so we decided to reach out. The OneSec team assisted us in organising the application materials, project proposal and supporting documents, while providing clear guidance throughout the process. This made the entire application much smoother. We were ultimately successful in securing funding, which has provided tangible benefits to our operations and cost management.

The annual review of a Hong Kong company refers to two statutory procedures that a company routinely completes each year:
Business Registration Certificate
Each business registration certificate is valid for one year and the company must renew it before its expiry date each year (business registration certificate renewal can be for one or three years ).
Annual Return Compliance
After one year of incorporation, a company must file an annual return with the Companies Registry, providing basic details such as directors, shareholders, and their shareholdings. This document only updates company information and does not include financial reports.
Hong Kong companies must file their annual return within 42 days of their incorporation anniversary. Missing this deadline is considered an offense.
Filing dates may vary by company type, so it’s best to check using the Companies Registry’s Annual Return Deadline Calculator.
Staying on top of annual audits is essential to meet legal obligations and avoid penalties. Onesec can help prepare required documents and remind you of key deadlines to ensure everything is submitted on time.
The annual review of a Hong Kong company includes renewing its business registration certificate and submitting an annual return. Failure to complete these procedures within the statutory deadline will be considered an illegal act and will incur additional registration fees.
