We got you covered with answers to our most frequently asked questions about virtual offices and startups.
01 | What are the distinctions between a registered office address and a virtual office?
A registered office address and a virtual office differ in several key aspects :
A registered office address primarily serves as a legal requirement for starting a business. It is the official address that a company is required to provide when registering with the Companies Registry. The registered office address is where legal and official correspondence, including Government notices, legal documents, and tax-related communications, are sent. It is a publicly listed address and must be accessible during normal business hours. The registered office address does not typically include additional services beyond its legal function.
On the other hand, a virtual office is a comprehensive business solution that offers a range of services to support remote work. It includes a registered office address for official mail and goes beyond by providing additional services like parcel handling, call answering, meeting room access, and secretarial support. Virtual offices provide the benefits of a professional office environment without the need for renting a conventional office space, making them ideal for digital nomads, freelancers, startups, and global businesses seeking a flexible and cost-effective local presence.
The main distinction between a registered office address and a virtual office lies in the services provided and their primary purposes. A registered office address is a mandatory obligation of company setup and functions as the designated address for official communication and legal paperwork. In contrast, a virtual office exceeds the scope of a registered office address by providing a comprehensive business solution that addresses the diverse needs of startups and SMEs.
02 | Should I get a registered office address or a virtual office?
When deciding between a registered office address and a virtual office, consider your specific needs and preferences.
If you primarily require a designated address for official correspondence and legal documentation, a registered office address would be suitable. It fulfils the legal obligation of business registration and ensures compliance with official communication requirements.
On the other hand, if you desire a more comprehensive business solution, a virtual office may be a better choice. Such options typically include a registered office address and offer additional services such as parcel handling, call answering, and administrative support. A well-managed virtual office provides the benefits of a professional office environment without the need for physical space, making it convenient for startups seeking easy and flexible setup.
Give thoughtful consideration to your needs, goals, and budget when determining, and analyse the level of support and services provided by each option to ascertain which one best caters to your specific requirements.
03 | What type of business should sign up for a registered office address or a virtual office?
Registered Office Address | Integrated Virtual Office |
---|---|
Newly Incorporated Companies. A mandatory requirement when registering your new entity with the Companies Registry, ensuring compliance and legal validity. | Digital Nomads or Freelancers. Access to office facilities for client or partner meetings, along with the professional image of a virtual office, can be beneficial in creating a positive first impression. |
Home-Based Businesses. Having a separate address for your business’s legal and official documents can be advantageous, especially when compared to using your home address. | Startups or Small Business Owners. A cost-effective solution for establishing a full presence in a specific location and accessing business services without the need for a long-term lease commitment. |
Businesses with Multiple Locations. Having a dedicated HK registered address ensures that all local legal documents are centralised and sent to one location, even if your company operates in different areas. | International Businesses. Availability of a local address, phone number, and secretarial support services, reducing the need for a physical office in a foreign country. |
04 | Can a residential address be used as a registered office address in Hong Kong?
No, it is not advisable to use your home address or a PO Box as your office address. According to the Companies Ordinance, a registered office address is where the company’s statutory records are kept and made available for inspection. Revealing your office address to the public can jeopardise your privacy, particularly when using your residential address.
05 | What is the cost of a registered office address in Hong Kong?
The price of HK registered address services in Hong Kong can vary based on the package inclusions and the specific requirements of your business for establishment.
AsiaBC offers a Basic Package starting at US$300/year, which includes a CBD registered office address at 8th Floor, China Hong Kong Tower, 8-12 Hennessy Road, Wan Chai, Hong Kong for all company correspondence. The package also includes mail and parcel management services, as well as pay-per-use mail redirection with open and scan services. Additionally, you have the option to upgrade to our Elite Package for a comprehensive premium virtual office experience. This Elite Package, priced at US$1,160/year, includes a HK registered address, a dedicated local business phone number, call greeting and answering by your trilingual receptionist, message taking, and day office access.
06 | What is the minimum duration for a virtual office package, and is a security deposit required?
The minimum duration and security deposit requirements for a Hong Kong virtual office package can vary depending on the service provider. At AsiaBC, we offer excellent flexibility with our virtual office package, allowing you to enjoy the benefits for as short as 1 month without any security deposits. This means you can take advantage of our services without a long-term commitment.
07 | How can I change my company’s registered address?
To change your company’s registered address in Hong Kong, you need to follow a specific process. Firstly, you must submit the appropriate forms, based on your company type, to the Companies Registry. Once you have submitted the forms, you will need to wait for their approval, which can be a time-consuming process.
To make the application smoother and faster, it is recommended to seek professional assistance from reliable corporate service providers. They can help you in preparing all the necessary paperwork to change your registered address with the Hong Kong Companies Registry. By availing the services of AsiaBC’s chartered company secretary, you can ensure that your company complies with all the requirements of the applicable regulatory authorities, empowering you to stay up-to-date with compliance protocols and concentrate on your strategic expansion.
08 | How soon will I receive my registered address and can I terminate my subscription early?
Your virtual address in Hong Kong will be set up within 24 hours upon purchase and confirmation of your membership. However, if you wish to upgrade your company’s current office address to our A-grade location, which involves transferring of a registered address, please allow approximately 3-5 business days to update your Business Registration Certificate and complete the official transfer.
Should you decide to cancel your virtual office subscription, we kindly request a written termination notice to be provided at least one month in advance. Please bear in mind that the paid membership fee is non-refundable.

Boost Your Entity’s Image : 4 Reasons Why an Office Address in HK Enhances Trust5 min readShow more
Throughout the process of setting up your company, you have likely come across the term “registered office address” multiple times. You may be wondering about its significance and why it is necessary. Allow me to clarify – a registered office address is a mandatory requirement when incorporating your business. It serves as the official address of your company upon establishment and plays a crucial role in ensuring your company’s compliance with regulations.
In Hong Kong, the Companies Registry mandates every newly-formed entity to provide a registered office address in the city. Here are some crucial details to note :
- The registered address must be capable of receiving all legal documents, notices, statements, and similar correspondences.
- Utilising a PO box as your registered office address is not permissible.
- While a home address can be used as the registered office address in Hong Kong, it must be allowed by the tenancy agreement. However, keep in mind that this information will be disclosed in public records, potentially compromising your privacy.
Having a HK registered office address provides your business with several benefits :
- It maintains your personal residence’s privacy. If you choose to use a residential address, it will be accessible to the public.
- It serves as your authorised central hub. Your registered address receives all official communications, including statutory mail, notices, statements, and legal documents from Government offices, banks, and third-party entities.
- It enhances your business image. A registered office address in Hong Kong helps establish your company’s reputation, creating a more professional and credible image.
- It’s a cost-effective solution. Signing up for a virtual office in Hong Kong can significantly reduce your startup costs by decreasing monthly rent payments, utility bills, equipment costs, and the budget for office supplies.
Due to the growing prominence of the China market, Hong Kong has become a preferred gateway for entrepreneurs seeking entry into this lucrative market. Consequently, there has been a notable increase in international business owners choosing to establish their ventures in this prominent world city. However, the search for a suitable Hong Kong virtual office that effectively promotes their businesses can still pose a challenge.
AsiaBC offers a registered office address service that situates your business in a prestigious location at the heart of Hong Kong – specifically, the 8th Floor of China Hong Kong Tower, 8-12 Hennessy Road, Wan Chai, Hong Kong. Our basic registered office address plan encompasses a 1-year use of the AsiaBC virtual address, mail and parcel management services, and pay-per-use mail redirection with open & scan services.
While not a standalone product, there are 2 ways to optimally utilise it :
- Company Formation + Free Digital Banking Account – This option is specifically designed for businesses that are in the process of being established or intending to expand their operations in Hong Kong.
- Company Secretarial Support – This selection is ideally suited for companies considering a change of their registered address to AsiaBC.
In contrast, a virtual office in Hong Kong is a flexible workspace that allows businesses to operate remotely without the necessity of purchasing or leasing traditional office space. AsiaBC offers a premium virtual office plan that includes a professional registered address, along with services such as mail and parcel forwarding and management. Additionally, the plan provides a dedicated business phone number, client greeting, and call answering by a trilingual receptionist in your company’s name (English, Cantonese, or Mandarin), message taking, administrative assistance, and access to a day office.
Here are the 3 key advantages of a virtual office :
- Increased visibility. A Hong Kong virtual address allows your business to establish a professional and credible presence in new markets.
- Cost-effective, time-saving, and environmentally friendly. Virtual offices reduce expenses like lease payments and utilities, and save time by eliminating commuting and traffic jams.
- Easy and convenient setup. You can select your preferred business location and register with your service provider online.
Don’t let the challenge of creating a credible and trustworthy image impede your business’s cross-border expansion. With the right support and guidance, you can continue to grow, thrive, and establish a reliable reputation that your clients and partners can depend on as you scale new heights in your industry.

Making a Lasting Difference : The Power of Professional Accounting & Bookkeeping 5 min readShow more
Accounting and bookkeeping are two different practices that work together to keep your business finances running smoothly. Accounting involves analysing financial data for informed business decisions, while bookkeeping maintains accurate financial records. Both tasks are essential for successful entrepreneurship and can be outsourced for greater efficiency and focus on the company’s strategic growth.
Outsourcing offers 7 key benefits to businesses, including access to professional expertise in complex financial matters, cost-effectiveness by eliminating additional costs of hiring full-time employees, time-saving, scalability to meet changing financial needs, compliance assurance with tax laws to avoid penalties, accuracy in financial data management, and allowing business owners to focus on business development rather than administrative tasks.
Determining the right time to outsource can be challenging. However, there are 5 signs that indicate when it may be necessary – time-consuming financial tasks, discrepancies in financial records, intricate financial matters, changing financial requirements, and a dearth of financial insights.
When it comes to selecting the right professional for your accounting and bookkeeping needs, keep in mind these 6 essential factors. Examine their level of experience, scrutinise their qualifications, assess the breadth and depth of their service offerings, ensure their technology is up-to-date, scrutinise their fee structure for transparency and fairness, and don’t forget to ask for personal referrals.
In fulfilling these requirements, AsiaBC provides an all-inclusive suite of accounting and bookkeeping services tailored for SMEs. Our offerings range from preparing annual tax accounts and arranging audit reports, to assisting with tax computations and submitting annual tax returns to the Inland Revenue Department (IRD).
Adding another layer of convenience, AsiaBC also offers a virtual office solution. By utilising our virtual office in Hong Kong, clients can trust us to receive important documents like the Employer’s Return and Profits Tax Return via our registered office address. Our accountants are then able to promptly fill out and file these tax returns on our clients’ behalf, ensuring a timely submission and compliance with local regulations. This integrated approach, which consolidates the management of a virtual address Hong Kong and accounting services on a single platform, simplifies the process and relieves clients from overseeing these responsibilities on their own.
Partnering with AsiaBC allows entrepreneurs to save both time and money while ensuring compliance with local regulations. If you find yourself grappling with managing your accounts, consider turning to AsiaBC for guidance and support. There’s no need for you to bear the weight of balance sheet management alone – give yourself the respite you rightfully deserve.
