香港注册投资公司条件
1. 股东和董事要求
香港注册投资公司需要至少一位年满18周岁的股东,股东可以是自然人,也可以是法人(公司股东),并且股东必须出示有效身份证或护照影印件。董事的要求与股东相同,董事和股东可以为同一自然人。此外,香港公司无需设立法人和监事,公司董事的法定责任和义务,大致等同于中国大陆公司的“执行董事”。
2. 注册资本最低要求The minimum capital requirement for registering an investment company in Hong Kong is HKD 10,000. This capital does not need to be actually subscribed or paid up. However, if the application capital exceeds HKD 10,000, a stamp duty of % of the application capital will be levied, which is similar to the domestic stamp duty.
3. 注册地址和法定秘书A registered address in Hong Kong is mandatory for the company. The address can be provided by the company or leased from a service provider. Furthermore, a company secretary, who must be a natural person or a corporate body based in Hong Kong, must be appointed.
4. 名称查册和申请材料The company name should be unique and approved by the Hong Kong Company Registry. The application materials typically include the company's memorandum and articles of association, director and shareholder information, and a declaration of compliance with legal requirements.
5. 必须从事正当生意It is essential that the company engages in legitimate business activities.
6. 注册后的公司架构After registration, the company will receive a set of documents including the certificate of incorporation, business registration certificate, share register, long-form seal, circular seal, and official chop. These documents are usually kept in a green box, commonly known as the "green box".
7. 投资内地公司的额外要求If a Hong Kong-registered company wants to invest in a mainland Chinese company, it needs to follow specific procedures. The香港 company's documents need to be公证 and authenticated before they can be used in China. The process involves obtaining a license approval from the local foreign economic and trade commission and registering with the industrial and commercial bureau. Additionally, the investment funds must be transferred to China in foreign exchange form. If the Hong Kong company's shareholder is a Chinese national, there may be restrictions and conditions on such investments, known as "reverse investment".
In summary, registering an investment company in Hong Kong requires meeting certain conditions related to ownership, capital, address, legal compliance, and additional procedures when investing in the mainland. It is advisable to consult with professionals or experienced agents to ensure a smooth and compliant registration process.
