Shelf Companies in HK
Fully remote procedure
5–7 business days
Price upon request
Shelf companies are pre-registered companies that may have an operational history or may be entirely new. They are created and kept “on the shelf,” hence the name.
A shelf company in Hong Kong is an already incorporated private limited company that has never traded and has no assets or liabilities. Its value lies in its age and history: banks and counterparties tend to trust a company with an older incorporation date.
We transfer the company to you fully remotely: share transfer, change of director and secretary, update of company records. You can keep the existing name or change it to fit your business.

Step-by-step procedure
Company Selection and Consultation
Choose a company from the list of available options and check its incorporation date and current status. We will advise whether a clean new shelf company or an aged company with a bank account suits your goal better.
KYC Procedure
We verify the identity and address of the shareholders and director, as required by Hong Kong law and banks.
Corporate Changes
We prepare the share transfer (Instrument of Transfer) and file the notice of change of director or secretary (form ND2A). The registers of shareholders and directors are updated.
Updating Bank and Contact Information
If the company already has a bank account, we help update the details with the bank.
