Fee – CR e-Document filling NR1 – USD 150, Resolution of Director(s)/Shareholder(s) – USD 55

Conditions: Please note if you set up the company with Startupr, you are provided a registered address, but the Company’s Secretary’s registered address does not automatically thereby become your company’s “business address”. Unless you have specifically engaged us to forward your company mail (other than government communications as above), and proper paperwork is filed, the Startupr address may not be used as your business address.

To clarify: For each mail sent to your firm by the Government of Hong Kong, emailing the scanned copy is free of charge. In case you need any mail that is addressed with the name of the company, but that is sent to our address, it constitutes unsupported use of the registered address. We can engage you for our business address services, or offer a one-time mail out service for these documents.
