Non-HK companies in HK

This page shows the number of non-HK companies registered and dissolved/departed in HK per year. A company which ceases to be registered in HK may still carry on business elsewhere, or it may later dissolve. Click and drag to zoom, double-click to reset.

Note: data on deregistrations are not reliable after 16-Nov-2020, when we started our last complete scan of the registry. On 22-Nov-2020, the registry implemented a new captcha system, preventing further data collection. The limited data available on data.gov.hk (comprising delayed weekly updates) only cover new registrations and name-changes, without stating domicile.
