Opening a fintech company, presented by our lawyers in Hong Kong

The requirements for a fintech company are the same as for any other type of company in Hong Kong. The new business needs to be registered with the Companies Registry, have a unique company name and a local registered office in the city.

The private limited liability company is often preferred in this business sector because its founders are only liable to the amount of invested capital.
