Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to common questions about company secretarial services

Q: What qualifications must a Hong Kong company secretary have?
For a private company, the company secretary must be either a Hong Kong resident individual or a Hong Kong-incorporated company. There are no specific professional qualifications required for private companies, but the secretary must have the knowledge and experience to discharge their duties competently.
Q: What happens if I don't appoint a company secretary?
Under the Companies Ordinance, you must appoint a company secretary within 6 months of incorporation. Failure to do so is an offence punishable by a fine of up to HKD 50,000 and a daily penalty of HKD 1,000 for each day the offence continues. Additionally, the company may face compliance issues with banks and other institutions.
Q: Can a director also be the company secretary?
For a company with only one director, that sole director cannot also be the company secretary. However, if there are two or more directors, one of them may serve as company secretary. Many SMEs prefer to appoint a professional secretarial service provider for better compliance management.
Q: What is the Significant Controllers Register (SCR)?
Since March 2018, all Hong Kong companies must maintain a Significant Controllers Register identifying individuals who have significant control over the company (typically >25% shares or voting rights, or the right to appoint/remove a majority of directors). This register must be kept at the registered office and made available for inspection by law enforcement.
Q: How do I change my company secretary?
To change your company secretary, you need to: (1) Pass a board resolution approving the change, (2) File Form ND2B with the Companies Registry within 15 days, and (3) Update your statutory registers. Uni-World can handle this entire process for you, ensuring a smooth transition with no compliance gaps.
Q: Do I need a physical registered office address?
Yes, every Hong Kong company must have a registered office address in Hong Kong where official correspondence can be received and statutory records kept for inspection. This cannot be a PO Box. Uni-World provides a prestigious business address as part of our Business and Premium packages.
