The business registration certificate (BRC) is an essential legal document that is issued by the Business Registration Office of the Inland Revenue Department (IRD). The BRC shows your company’s legal details and displays your legality for operating in Hong Kong as a business.
Hong Kong businesses are required to apply and obtain their BRC within 30 days of the start of their business operations. Any time that your business information changes, you must contact the Business Registration Office and file for an updated certificate.
It is crucial to know whether or not your business is required to obtain a business registration certificate, as you may face stiff penalties or have your ability to do business halted if you do not apply for one in time. Learn more about the requirements below.

Hong Kong is famous for its ease to register a company, while the duration for company registration depends on how business owners manage the process.
If you are new to Hong Kong or not familiar with Hong Kong compliance requirements, it may take you weeks to process the documents as well as the requirements.
However, if you enroll in services from a professional firm like the FastLane Group, the process can be done within 2-3 days with the guidance of the professionals.
