The aim of this publication, which has been prepared for the exclusive use of BDO Member Firms and their clients and prospective clients, is to provide background information for setting up and running a business in Hong Kong.
The publication describes the business environment in Hong Kong and outlines the financial and legal implications of running, or working for, a Hong Kong business. The most important issues are included, but it is not feasible to discuss every subject in detail within this format. Accordingly, Doing Business in Hong Kong is written in general terms and is not intended to be comprehensive. If you would like to know more, please contact BDO McCabe Lo Limited.
BDO International is a worldwide network of accounting and consulting firms, called BDO Member Firms, serving international clients. Each BDO Member Firm is an independent legal entity in its own country. The network is coordinated by BDO Global Coordination BV, incorporated in the Netherlands, with an office in Brussels, Belgium, where the Global Coordination Office is located.
Founded in Europe in 1963, the BDO network now has 625 offices in 110 countries, with more than 30,000 partners and staff providing professional auditing, accounting, tax and consulting services on every continent.
BDO's special skills lie in applying its local knowledge, experience and understanding of the international context to provide an integrated global service. In BDO, common operating and quality control procedures are not a constraint on innovation and independence of thought, but the starting point. It is a vigorous organisation committed to total client service.
BDO's reputation derives from consistently offering imaginative and objective advice within the client's time constraints. BDO Member Firms take pride in their clients' success and their relationships with them. It is a personal relationship that combines the benefits of professional knowledge, integrity and an entrepreneurial approach, with an understanding of a client's business and an ability to communicate effectively. This ensures the highest-quality objective professional service, tailored to meet the individual needs of every client, whether they be governments, multinational companies, national or local businesses, or private individuals.
