Speak to Experts before Setting
Up your Business in Hong Kong,China or elsewhere
A qualified and experienced Corporate Secretary may advise
their clients on the risks involved if a company is set
up (a) without a well-designated cause or (b) without foresight
on its shareholding structure. The client will know that
a company set up with limited liability is a perpetual entity
only to vanish if dissolved or wound up. The client will
have a live-time commitment to ensure the company he invested
in is a vehicle which can help him to be on course with
his original purpose.
A qualified Corporate expert will advise client whether
he needs to set up a limited company, an unincorporated
business, or a branch extended from his presently owned
company. In the China context, setting up a company involved
with foreign capital will require (a) extensive planning
(like deciding on the business scope designated for the
Company over its life time and on the usually carefully
considered articles of association) and (b) the intensive
justification in the form of feasibility study which required
submission for approval before a business license is granted.
A “Must” to Start
A strategic and cautious consultation with adequate briefing
by a qualified Corporate Secretary is a must before a businessman
will contemplate to set up a company in China. Hong Kong
would require comparatively less procedures although good
corporate planning will still have merits. Ask for an appointment
now, whether to start, to review or to remedy any corporate
structure.
