常駐代表機構 :不能做生意:但能做聯絡工作

FAQs

Can Hong Kong residents register companies in China?

Yes, Hong Kong residents may establish a Mainland China company in their personal capacity, or appoint a Hong Kong company as the shareholder. If a Hong Kong company acts as the shareholder, a board resolution is typically required. We can assist in preparing this document if needed (additional service fees may apply).

The standard incorporation timeline is approximately 20–40 working days. If the business involves regulated industries requiring special licenses (such as education, catering, tourism, or financial services), the overall timeline may be extended due to additional approval procedures.
Currently, most industries no longer have minimum capital requirements, and with the Mainland adopting a subscription system, enterprises do not need to inject capital immediately upon registration. However, some industries (e.g., education, finance, tourism) still have clear capital thresholds.

Address requirements differ by jurisdiction; however, most cities require a properly zoned commercial address. For businesses without a Mainland office, OneSec offers compliant registered address solutions in designated cities.
