01 去年8.4万家新注册创历史新高，今年还会继续吗？

2025年7月18日，香港公司注册处公布了一组数据——

In the first half of 2025,84,293 new local companies were registered, bringing the total number of registered local companies to1,494,806 rooms, both reaching all-time highs. At the same time, 761 non-Hong Kong companies were registered in Hong Kong, bringing the total number of registered non-Hong Kong companies to15,509 rooms...which is also a new record.

平均每天超过460间公司在香港完成注册。这个数字说明什么？说明即使在全球经济不确定性加剧的2025年，大量企业家和跨境卖家仍然用真金白银投下了对香港的信任票。

而到了2026年，这个趋势还在延续。根据香港公司注册处今年最新公布的数据，2026年上半年新注册本地公司数量延续了去年的强劲势头。背后的推动力，正是2025年密集落地的Three Institutional Reforms——它们的效应正在2026年持续发酵。

02 迁册制度：去年落地，今年红利加速释放

On May 23, 2025, the Companies (Amendment) (No. 2) Ordinance 2025 officially took effect, and Hong Kong introducedCompany relocation system（Company Re-domiciliation Regime）。这个制度的核心是：海外公司可以直接申请迁册到香港，保留原有法人团体身份，业务合同、知识产权、银行关系无缝衔接。

2025 will be the year policies are implemented, and 2026 will be the year the benefits are realized. After a year of fine-tuning, the approval process for the business relocation system has become more refined, and the first batch of relocation cases has been successfully completed, providing a clear roadmap for companies that follow.

Which companies should pay the most attention to the business registration transfer system?

• Cross-border e-commerce sellers:以前用BVI公司持有店铺和资金，现在想回归香港享受更完善的银行服务和税务协定网络
• Red Chip/VIE-Structured Companies:上市前需要调整架构，迁册制度提供了更灵活的选择
• Family Office:从离岸地迁至香港，配合香港家族办公室税务宽减政策

The advantages of applying for a change of registration in 2026 include: more extensive experience with the approval process, more comprehensive supporting services, and the fact that many licensed secretarial firms have already accumulated practical case experience. It is recommended that you consult a professional, licensed secretarial firm before proceeding to avoid unnecessary setbacks.

03 BRN切换：今年必须适应的新识别码体系

Starting in 2025, the Hong Kong government will promote the use ofBusiness Registration Number (BRN)As the company’s sole external business identifier, it replaces the traditional registration number (CR No.). By 2026, this transition had entered the full implementation phase.

如果你的香港公司还在用CR编号对外沟通，现在必须切换了。BRN就是商业登记证号码前8位，影响范围很广：

• Bank account opening:汇丰、渣打等银行已明确要求提供BRN而非CR编号
• Tax Filing:税务局系统以BRN为主索引
• Contract Template:公司对外签署的商业合同、发票上的公司识别码建议统一更新为BRN
• Cross-border E-commerce:亚马逊、Shopify等平台的企业认证也接受BRN格式

Another change to note: Starting at the end of 2024, the Hong Kong Registry has introducedStandardized Industry Classification Codes (Business Nature Codes). Previously, you had some flexibility when filling out the "Nature of Business" field, but now you must select the code that most closely matches your business from the government's drop-down list. Entering the wrong code may result in your application being returned, which could delay the registration process.

04 登记费减免：去年实施的政策，今年仍有效

Effective July 2025,Registration Fee WaiversThe policy will remain in effect through 2026. Newly registered companies that submit their formation form (NNC1) electronically are exempt from the fee that would otherwise be required.Full waiver of the HK$1,720 company registration feeThe

However, this does not mean ”free registration.” The first-year fee for the Business Registration Certificate—HK$1,545—must still be paid, plus the statutory stamp duty on share capital (0.1% of the registered capital, with a minimum of HK$30). The actual government fees amount to approximately:

Business Registration Certificate (BR): HKD 1,545
法定股本印花税：HKD 30起（默认1万港币注册资本）
公司注册费：HKD 0（减免后）
合计约：HKD 1,575(Equivalent to approximately 1,450 RMB)

减免条件：

• 必须以电子方式递交NNC1表格（纸本申请不享受减免）
• 必须使用公司注册处认可的电子服务账户
• 减免仅适用于本地有限公司，非香港公司注册不在范围内

One more thing to keep in mind: Once you've completed registration, the governmentOnly electronic certificates are issued”Paper copies will no longer be issued.” The "Green Box" (a paper kit containing the company's articles of incorporation, official seal, and meeting minutes book) is also no longer provided as standard. If you need physical seals and documents, you can have a secretarial service handle the arrangements on your behalf.

05 2026年注册香港公司的5个实操要点

Taking into account the policy changes outlined above and how they have been implemented this year, if you plan to register a Hong Kong company in 2026, the following tips are worth keeping in mind:

First, you should check the availability of the name well in advance.Hong Kong has very strict rules regarding company name duplication checks; a company name cannot be identical to or highly similar to that of an already registered company. We recommend preparing 2–3 alternative names and checking their availability in advance using the Registry’s online search system.

Second, select the industry code in advance.The standardized industry classification code must be selected from the government’s drop-down list. We recommend that you clarify your primary business focus before registration and verify it in advance by referring to the latest industry code table.

Third, directors and the secretary must meet the required qualifications.At least one director must be a natural person (not a corporation) and must provide valid proof of address (issued within the last three months). If the company secretary is a legal entity, it must hold a valid Trust or Company Service Provider (TCSP) license.

Fourth, choosing online registration saves money and time.Online registration not only qualifies you for a HK$1,720 discount, but the processing time is also faster than for paper applications—you can typically receive your Certificate of Incorporation and Business Registration Certificate within one business day.

Fifth, registration is just the first step; ongoing maintenance is even more important.Hong Kong companies are required to fulfill three major statutory obligations each year: filing the Annual Return (NAR1), renewing the Business Registration Certificate, and completing bookkeeping, auditing, and tax filing. Newly registered companies will receive their first tax return within 18 months of incorporation, at which point they must engage a licensed accountant to perform the audit. Don’t wait until you receive the tax return to scramble to get everything done.

06 写在最后：2026年是落地的最佳时机

The record-high number of company registrations in Hong Kong in 2025 was no coincidence. The implementation of the relocation system, reductions in registration fees, and the transition to electronic registration—each of these measures sends the same message:Hong Kong is making an unprecedented effort to improve its business environment and attract global companies to set up operations there.

2025年是政策的推出年，2026年才是红利真正落地的年份。迁册制度的首批案例已经走完流程，BRN切换已经全面执行，登记费减免政策仍在生效。对于跨境电商卖家、外贸企业、家族办公室和有意出海的内地企业来说，2026 is the best time to establish a company in Hong Kong.

登记费减免是否继续延续、银行开户政策是否会调整——这些是后续要关注的不确定因素。但有一点是确定的：越早注册，越早享受政策红利。
