Hong Kong Corporate Account
Hong Kong is a substantial commercial, financial, and business center. Nowadays, it is a gate to China and the entire rapidly growing Asian region. Despite the global pandemic, this region continues to develop at a good pace. According to many analysts, Asia is the future of the global economy and the breeding ground for the next generation of millionaires and billionaires.
Hong Kong plays an essential role in this process. Registering a company in Hong Kong will allow you to launch your undertaking quickly, efficiently, and with favorable taxation to take advantage of. This Special Administrative Region is subject to territorial taxation, which means you don’t have to pay tax on income earned outside of Hong Kong.
However, Hong Kong has one unpleasant gift for present-day international entrepreneurs: opening an account here becomes more and more challenging every year, especially for young companies. Local banks can delay the process for months or even up to a year without any guarantees of success.
This problem is easily solved if you buy a package that includes company formation in Hong Kong along with a bank account. The financial institution selected may be located in Hong Kong or abroad as it depends on the business structure, its residency, as well as the customer/partner network geography.
We are constantly looking for innovative solutions, and here is just one of them. This is a corporate account in the Hong Kong payment system, which has its own SWIFT and can issue direct bank accounts.
