A professional company secretary can offer you comprehensive support which allows your company to operate efficiently without physical presence in Hong Kong.
As per Section 474 of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance, a Hong Kong company must have a company secretary in Hong Kong.
Appointing a company secretary is more than a statutory requirement. A professional company secretary can offer you comprehensive support which allows your company to operate efficiently without physical presence in Hong Kong.
For example, a Hong Kong company must deliver an annual return NAR1 form to the Companies Registry every year. The document cannot be filed in advance. However, if the company is late for filing, penalty will apply. From our experience, many company owners forget the date of filing and end up paying a substantial amount of penalty. So appointing a professional secretary can avoid this type of issue.

A Hong Kong company must deliver its annual return NAR1 form to the Companies Registry for registration within 42 days after the anniversary date of the company’s incorporation in that year. It is an offence if the company fails to deliver the document within the prescribed time period. From our experience, many owners will forget the date of filing and they end up receiving a substantial amount of penalty from the Hong Kong Government.
To call a general meeting, Companies in Hong Kong needs to observe some basic rules as per section 571 of Companies Ordinance. A general meeting, other than an adjourned meeting, must be called by notice of at least 14 days. If it is in the case of an AGM, the notice must be of at least 21 days.
If a company’s articles require a longer period of notice, a general meeting must be called in accordance with that period. However, in the event of a short period of notice, i.e. shorter than either the periods stated above or the period required by the company’s articles of association, the meeting is still to be regarded as duly called if it is agreed by all members entitled to attend and vote at the meeting (*AGM).
A Hong Kong limited company must give notice of the meeting in hard copy or electronic form, or by making the notice available.
All members are required to agree to a written resolution [1]. Shareholders’ decision must be unanimous. If the resolution is passed, the company must then, within the next 15 days, send notice of this fact to every member of the company.
