Change of Company Particulars HK
Notification of Change of Company Particulars
The Companies Registry in Hong Kong requires companies to notify them of any changes to their company particulars. This includes changes to the company's registered address, directors, shareholders, and company secretary.
There are two main ways to notify the Companies Registry of a change of company particulars:
Online: The Companies Registry provides an online portal called e-Registry where companies can submit change notifications electronically. This is the most efficient and convenient method.
By mail: Companies can also submit change notifications by mail. However, this method is generally slower and less efficient.
The specific requirements for notifying the Companies Registry of a change of company particulars will vary depending on the nature of the change. However, all notifications must be made in writing and must include the following information:
The company's name and registration number
The nature of the change
The date of the change
The new particulars of the company
It is important to note that companies must notify the Companies Registry of any changes to their company particulars within 14 days of the change occurring. Failure to do so may result in fines or other penalties.
Nature of the Change
The "nature of the change" in the context of notifying the Hong Kong Companies Registry refers to the specific type of alteration made to your company's particulars.
Here are some common examples:
Change of Registered Address: Moving the company's official registered office to a new location.
Change of Directors: Appointment of new directors, resignation of existing directors, or changes in director details (e.g., name, contact information).
Change of Shareholders: Transfer of shares, acquisition of new shareholders, or changes in shareholder details.
Change of Company Secretary: Appointment of a new company secretary or changes in the company secretary's details.
Change of Company Name: Renaming the company.
Change of Objects Clause: Modifying the company's stated business purposes.
Why is specifying the "nature of the change" important?
Accuracy and Efficiency: Clearly stating the change helps the Companies Registry process your notification accurately and efficiently.
Compliance: Accurately identifying the change ensures you comply with the specific requirements and procedures for that particular type of alteration.
Where to find specific guidance:
Companies Registry Website: The official website of the Hong Kong Companies Registry provides detailed information on the specific procedures and requirements for each type of company particulars change.
