Common types of Hong Kong companies are: sole proprietorship, partnership (general partnership and limited partnership), limited company, public company, representative office and branch office. Limited company is the most commonly chosen type of company. Its most important feature is limited liability, i.e. the liability of the shareholders is limited to the amount of their capital contribution, and the personal property is separated from the company's property, so that they will not bear unlimited liability for the company's debts.
To set up a Hong Kong limited company, the necessary requirement is that the shareholders and directors must be at least 18 years old. Hong Kong locals, Chinese residents or overseas persons are eligible, and they only need to provide valid passports or identity cards.

However, we suggest that you consider the fact that using your home as your company address may cause you undue distress in the event of any disputes with your company. If you want to avoid the hassle of using your home address as your company's registered address, you can consider renting a business registered address.
