Reasons for Closing Down a Hong Kong Company

Do you need to close down your Hong Kong company? There are a number of reasons that people may choose to close down their company. The main reasons are that you don’t have enough business to continue running your company, or the business is not generating profits anymore. When you need to close down a Hong Kong business, you need to deregister the company legally instead of just abandoning it.

There are two ways of closing down a company – by company deregistration and winding up. Company deregistration is an inexpensive procedure of closing down defunct solvent companies, and most companies in Hong Kong are closed down by this procedure.
