Registering a Hong Kong company, looking for a proxy is more hassle-free than running on your own, but the proxy organizations on the market are a mixed bag. This article from the qualification compliance, service transparency, follow-up ability, reputation case four dimensions, to provide screening criteria.

I. Compliance with Qualification Requirements Is the Basic Threshold

Agencies providing Hong Kong company registration services must meet the following qualifications:

• 1. TCSP License (Company Secretary License)

Under Hong Kong’s Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorist Financing Ordinance, organizations providing company secretarial services must hold a Trust or Company Service Provider (TCSP) license. Operating without a license is illegal, and any secretarial services provided in this manner are not recognized by the Companies Registry.
You can verify the validity of the license on the Hong Kong Companies Registry’s official website.

• 2. Compliance of the Registered Address

A Hong Kong company’s registered address must be a genuine, verifiable local address. Some low-cost agency services use virtual or shared addresses, which pose the following risks:
• The address was flagged as high-risk during the bank's review
• Missed the annual review due to a lost government letter
• Multiple companies sharing the same address trigger anti-money laundering monitoring

II. Service Transparency Determines the Foundation of Trust

A reputable agency should clearly provide the following information before the service begins:

• Complete Quote List: Includes all items such as government fees, secretarial fees, address fees, and agency service fees
• Renewal fee for the second year: Reputable organizations will proactively inform customers of the renewal rates and will not use low first-year prices to attract customers.
• Service Process Milestones: Includes the timelines and responsible parties for each stage, such as record searches, document review, submission, and certificate pickup
• Items not included: Please be advised in advance of any additional fees that may apply, such as those for notarization, authentication, or Hague Apostille certification.

Registration is just the beginning; once the company is established, the following services will be needed:

When selecting an agency, we recommend giving priority to companies that offer a one-stop service covering ”registration, account opening, annual review, and bookkeeping” to avoid information gaps caused by fragmented follow-up services.
