Hong Kong Company Registration Fees 2026

The HK$6,800 all-in package covers everything you need: Government fees HK$3,895 (Companies Registry HK$1,545 + Business Registration Certificate HK$2,350 incl. HK$150 Insolvency Fund Levy effective 2026-04-01) + PAT CPA service fee HK$2,000 (name search, NNC1 + articles of association preparation, electronic filing, first-year company secretary, statutory registers + SCR) + Company chops & green box HK$600 + Disbursements HK$305 (certified true copies, M&A printing). All fees are itemised on the quotation — no hidden charges. See the full government-fee table above.

Both routes have the same all-in price of HK$6,800, but different fee allocation: Electronic Filing (1 business day) — Companies Registry HK$1,545 + BR HK$2,350 + service HK$2,000 + chops/green box HK$600 + disbursements HK$305. Paper Filing (7 business days) — Companies Registry HK$1,720 + BR HK$2,350 + service HK$2,000 + chops/green box HK$600 + disbursements HK$130. We recommend Electronic Filing for all clients — it is faster and supports remote AMLO video CDD for overseas directors/shareholders.

No hidden fees. The HK$6,800 quote is firm under our standard scope: 1 director + 1 shareholder (same person) + 1 registered office (provided by PAT CPA). Additional charges apply only in these clearly disclosed scenarios: 1. Extra directors/shareholders or external registered address — HK$200 each. 2. Overseas AMLO video CDD — HK$500 per person, charged at engagement-manager discretion if the client resides overseas and requires CDD by video call. 3. Government fees are charged as actually paid, including the HK$150 Insolvency Fund Levy effective 2026-04-01 per the 2026-27 Hong Kong Budget. These terms are stated upfront in your engagement letter.

From 1 April 2026, the Business Registration fee is HK$2,350 for a 1-year certificate (3-year: HK$6,170), which includes the reinstated HK$150 Protection of Wages on Insolvency Fund levy announced in the 2026-27 Hong Kong Budget. The Companies Registry filing fees remain unchanged: electronic incorporation HK$1,545, paper incorporation HK$1,720. Our HK$6,800 all-in package already reflects the new BR fee — no further adjustment will be passed on to clients.

AMLO Customer Due Diligence (CDD) video conference is an additional service for clients who reside overseas and cannot attend in person. Fee: HK$500 per person (charged at engagement-manager discretion). The standard HK$6,800 all-in service fee does not include video CDD. Most overseas clients require this for at least 1 director — please discuss with us in advance so we can confirm the all-in figure.

For overseas shareholders/directors, the base HK$6,800 all-in package remains the same. The typical add-ons are: HK$500/person AMLO video CDD and HK$200 per additional director/shareholder beyond the standard scope (1 director + 1 shareholder same person + 1 registered office). Document courier (DHL/FedEx) to your overseas address is charged at cost (~HK$200-400 depending on destination). We provide a transparent itemised quote before engagement.

Payment terms: 100% of the HK$6,800 fee is due upfront before we submit the NNC1 to the Companies Registry, because the government fees (HK$3,895 electronic / HK$4,070 paper) are paid directly to the CR and BR on your behalf and are non-refundable. We accept: Bank transfer (HSBC/Hang Seng), FPS, PayMe, Cash, and Credit Card. A formal receipt and engagement letter are issued before payment.

After incorporation, your company will need ongoing services. PAT CPA offers transparent pricing across the stack: Accounting / bookkeeping from HK$800/month; Audit from HK$3,000 (statutory audit by HKICPA-licensed CPA, see audit fee pricing); Company secretary HK$2,300/year (free in your first year as a new incorporation client); Registered address HK$2,800/year (free in your first year). Bundle pricing is available — ask your engagement manager.
