Hong Kong Bank Account Opening - Business China


The Importance of Opening a Company Bank Account in HK


The following are just some of the reasons why you should consider Hong Kong company bank account opening;

  • Business China helps clients open an HK company bank account. We take care of the appropriate tax arrangements along with the necessary documentation that you are going to need during the application process. With our expert services, you can rest assured that you are going to get your Hong Kong company banks account within the least amount of time, allowing you to do your business without wasting any precious time. 
  • Ask yourself these questions; If a company doing business in Hong Kong does not have a bank account how will they be able to collect payments from their customers? How are they going to apply for an L/C, and how are they going to cope with large amounts of cash flow? This are just a few reasons why it is crucial to open a company bank account in HK.
  • Hong Kong's financial institutions have begun the GRS policy, which has led to tougher scrutiny of bank accounts in Hong Kong, and a greater lack of success rates, making it harder to open a company bank account in HK.
  • A Hong Kong offshore company has obvious operating advantages, but a Hong Kong company must be equipped with a bank account to be more efficient.
