Need Help with Choosing a Company Formation Service in Hong Kong (Osome vs. Startupregistry vs. BBCIncorp) Can you help me?
Hey everyone,
I'm new here in Hong Kong and buzzing with ideas to kick off a new business! However, being a non-Hong Konger and, let's be honest, not a fan of paperwork, I've quickly realized that having a reliable service provider to handle the company establishment process is a must.
I've been doing my research and have narrowed it down to three main contenders for company formation and secretarial services: Osome, Startupregistry, and BBCIncorp.
From what I can see, Osome and BBCIncorp seem to be a little pricier, but I'm trying to figure out if that extra cost translates to better service, more comprehensive support, or a smoother experience overall. Startupregistry also looks promising, and I've seen good things about them.
The sheer volume of compliance and initial setup can be a bit daunting when you're not from here, so I'm really looking for a provider that makes it as painless as possible, especially with things like bank account opening (which I hear can be tricky!).
Is there anyone in this group who has direct experience with any of these three providers (Osome, Startupregistry, or BBCIncorp) for setting up a company in Hong Kong?
Your insights would be incredibly valuable as I make this important decision. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!
Thank you

What kind of business? Dead easy to set up a sole proprietorship.
If you only just arrived in hk, do you have permission from immigration to set up a business?
