Business Registration Certificate

The Business Registration Certificate (BRC) is a document which states the particulars of a company, and is a requirement for conducting business for a Hong Kong company. This documents shows that the company is valid and registered within the Inland Revenue Department.

This certificate is normally valid for 1 year. A Business registration certificate is a requirement for every Hong Kong company, and must be renewed each year for the company. Once the business registration fees are paid, a newly issued BRC will become the valid business registration for the company.

The Business Registration Certificate would show certain details of the company as in:

• Company Name
• Company Address
• Nature of Business
• Company Type
• Date of Commencement
• Date of Expiry
• Certificate Number

The Business Registration Certificate will be issued about 1 month before the anniversary date. The company would need to pay and renew the BRC in a timely fashion, at least up to 1 month after the anniversary date. Otherwise there may be additional fines for the late renewals of the company BRC.
