Yes. Hong Kong companies can be 100% foreign-owned, and there is no requirement for directors or shareholders to be Hong Kong residents. Only the company secretary, if an individual, must normally be a Hong Kong resident — or you can appoint a Hong Kong corporate secretary, which Zhuoxin provides.
Yes, every Hong Kong company must maintain a registered address in Hong Kong where government correspondence is delivered. Zhuoxin provides a registered address service as part of incorporation packages.
Each year a Hong Kong company must file an annual return (NAR1) with the Companies Registry, renew its business registration certificate, and prepare audited financial statements for tax filing, even if it traded little or not at all. Zhuoxin handles all of these on schedule.
Zhuoxin Enterprise provides consulting and documentation services. Company registration, trademark approval and bank account opening outcomes are subject to review and approval by the relevant authorities and financial institutions.
