Frequently Asked Questions

Hong Kong Landing Services FAQ

Key insights into statutory compliance, zero-agency-fee banking, physical office leases, and tax audits.

Why does an Alibaba.com Hong Kong store require a Hong Kong corporate entity and bank account?

Alibaba.com Hong Kong store contracts require that the contracting merchant entity must be a legally incorporated Hong Kong limited company. Official membership and service contracts are signed directly with ALIBABA.COM HONG KONG LIMITED. Furthermore, a licensed commercial multi-currency bank account under the same entity name must be linked to Trade Assurance for receiving USD, EUR, and HKD payments without foreign exchange restrictions.

Is HC Business's zero intermediary fee promise for corporate bank opening genuine?

Yes, fully guaranteed. Strategic partner HC Business Limited (holding statutory TCSP License No. TC006431 from the Hong Kong Companies Registry) provides official priority banking channels. Throughout file pre-screening, direct encrypted electronic submission, and relationship manager allocation, HC Business charges 0 agency commission, 0 consultation fees, and 0 hidden surcharges. Clients only pay statutory bank company search and account opening fees directly to the bank.

Why do corporate banking compliance and Alibaba Verified Supplier audits strictly require a physical office?

Traditional cheap secretarial addresses frequently host hundreds or thousands of letterbox shell companies on a single desk. Commercial banks' Anti-Money Laundering (AML) units conduct regular physical inspections and send certified letters; failure to prove physical occupancy leads to immediate account freezes. Similarly, international third-party inspection agencies (such as SGS) conducting Onsite Checks for Alibaba.com Verified Supplier status operate on a zero-tolerance policy. HC Business provides genuine independent physical offices with water/electricity utility proof and company directory signage to guarantee 100% audit pass rates.

What legal documents and physical corporate kit items are delivered upon company incorporation?

Upon successful incorporation, the company receives a comprehensive statutory corporate kit: ① Certificate of Incorporation (CI / CR) issued by the HK Companies Registry; ② Business Registration Certificate (BR) issued by the Inland Revenue Department with unique Business Registration Number (BRN); ③ Statutory Incorporation Form NNC1; ④ Articles of Association (M&A); ⑤ Classic green executive company kit box containing the Authorized Signature stamp, oval business seal, metallic Common Seal, share certificate book, and statutory Significant Controllers Register (SCR) registry.

What witnessing methods are available for corporate accounts at HSBC and OCBC Bank?

Through HC Business's official partnerships: for HSBC Hong Kong, encrypted documentation is submitted directly via ba.hc.biz to a dedicated Relationship Manager (RM) team, supporting video witnessing in Mainland China or in-person VIP appointments in HK (2-3 weeks turnaround); for OCBC Bank Hong Kong, remote video witnessing is supported across major cities in Mainland China without traveling to HK; both institutions offer dedicated account managers and streamlined AML compliance for cross-border trade.

What are the strict statutory deadlines for Annual Return (NAR1) and CPA Audit / Profits Tax filing in Year 1?

Hong Kong imposes rigorous annual compliance standards: ① Annual Return (Form NAR1) must be filed with the Companies Registry within 42 days of the company's incorporation anniversary every year to avoid compounding late penalties and court summons; ② Business Registration (BR) renewal fees must be paid annually to the IRD; ③ Significant Controllers Register (SCR) must be maintained at a designated registered office; ④ Profits Tax Return and Statutory Audit: approximately 18 months after formation, the first tax return must be filed with an independent auditor's report prepared by a Hong Kong Certified Public Accountant (CPA), taking advantage of Hong Kong's two-tier profits tax concession (8.25% on the first HK$2 million profit).
