Transfer to FastLaneFrequently Answered Questions
Why should a Hong Kong company change its company secretary?
There are several reasons businesses in Hong Kong may choose to change their company secretary, including poor service quality, slow response times, lack of compliance support, high fees, or a need for more experienced or proactive governance assistance. Ensuring timely and accurate statutory filings is crucial, and a reliable provider can help avoid penalties and ensure ongoing compliance.
Do I need to inform the Companies Registry when changing my company secretary?
Yes. You must file Form ND2A with the Companies Registry within 15 days of the change. This form officially notifies the Registry of the resignation or removal of the existing secretary and the appointment of the new one. Late filing may result in penalties, so it’s important to act promptly.
What is the procedure for changing a company secretary in Hong Kong?
The process involves passing a board resolution to approve the change, notifying the Companies Registry by filing Form ND2A, and updating relevant statutory records. The outgoing secretary’s duties must be properly handed over, including all corporate documents and registers. A professional services provider like FastLane can handle the entire process on your behalf.
Can a Hong Kong company operate without a company secretary?
No. Under the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance, every private company must have at least one company secretary. The secretary plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with legal requirements, including filing annual returns, maintaining statutory books, and advising on corporate governance matters.
Is it difficult to switch company secretary service providers in Hong Kong?
No, switching company secretaries in Hong Kong is straightforward when managed by a professional firm. Once you authorize the change, your new provider (e.g., FastLane) will liaise with your current secretary, prepare and file all necessary documents, and ensure a smooth, compliant transition with minimal disruption to your business.
