Hong Kong continues to attract international businesses, with 903 non-Hong Kong companies establishing a place of business in the city during the first half of 2026.
Successful market entry, however, requires more than business registration. Companies must choose the right corporate structure, understand their ongoing legal and employment obligations, and plan how to hire and deploy talent.
Join experts from Deacons and Links International for practical guidance on corporate establishment, employment compliance, visas, Employer of Record solutions, office setup, banking and expatriate relocation. Gain a clearer blueprint for establishing your business and workforce in Hong Kong.
What the session will cover
- How representative offices, branches and subsidiaries differ
- Hong Kong employment law, including mandatory employee benefits and visa applications
- How Employer of Record (EOR) solutions can support faster, more flexible hiring and talent deployment
- Practical establishment matters, including office setup, bank account opening and expatriate relocation logistics
