Company Secretarial Services

According to the Companies Ordinance, any limited company must appoint a company secretary. The requirement for this company secretary is that he must be a Hong Kong resident or a Hong Kong registered company (meaning a licensed secretarial firm providing company secretarial services). If the director of the private limited company can only be one person, then this director can also have another status, that is, to act as the company secretary, when he is required to provide secretarial services. What is company secretarial service? It will be explained in detail below.

The fees for secretarial services are generally affordable. The following are some of the benefits of using the services of a company secretary:

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a non-Hong Kong resident be appointed as the secretary of a limited company?

If the company secretary is an individual and not a secretarial firm, he must ordinarily reside in Hong Kong. However, if the company secretary is a body corporate, he needs to have a registered office or place of business in Hong Kong before he can be appointed as the secretary of a limited company.

We will provide secretarial services and list out the relevant prices according to the needs of each client. If you want to know more about our secretarial service charges and relevant details, please contact us for further enquiry.
Your company can change the position of secretary at any time, but the change must be notified to the Companies Registry within 14 days of the change, and the notification must be in the form of a proforma.
No. Unless they are duly authorised by the board of directors, company secretaries have no right at all to manage the company.
Under the current Hong Kong law, every limited company is required to appoint a company secretary, at least one, who may be an individual or a secretarial firm. The company secretary is a statutory position and is responsible for, among other things, making arrangements for meetings, preparing minutes of meetings, filing statutory documents with major government departments and ensuring that the company's operations are in full compliance with legal requirements.
Since a company secretary can be an individual or a corporate body (i.e. a limited company, such as a secretarial company), this can be answered in two ways: if it is an individual, he must be a legal Hong Kong resident aged 18 or above; but if it is a corporate group, the secretarial company is of course a limited company registered in Hong Kong.
In fact, non-Hong Kong residents can also become company directors. However, if the company secretary is a person, he must ordinarily reside in Hong Kong; if he is a body corporate, he must have a registered office or place of business in Hong Kong. It should be emphasised that every private limited company must have at least one director and one secretary. If a company has only one director, he may not act as the secretary of the company and will have to find another qualified individual or body corporate to act as the secretary.
