Types of Business Entities in Hong Kong

Choosing the right business entity type is key when you register a company in HK.


Each option—like a private limited company, sole proprietorship, or branch office—has unique benefits and legal rules.

Private Limited Company

A private limited company is the most common choice when you register a company in HK.
It offers limited liability, a separate legal identity, and strong international credibility.
Perfect for startups and small to mid-sized businesses planning for growth.

Sole Proprietorship

A sole proprietorship is the easiest and most affordable business type in Hong Kong.
It’s fast to set up, but you’ll have unlimited personal liability.
Best for freelancers or solo entrepreneurs starting small.

Branch Office

A branch office lets foreign companies operate in Hong Kong without forming a new legal entity.
It shares the same legal identity as the parent company and is not considered separate.
Ideal for businesses expanding into HK while keeping full control from overseas.

Partnership

A partnership allows two or more people to run a business together in HK.
It's easy to form and ideal for consultants, agencies, or professionals.
However, partners share joint responsibility and liability.
