INSIDE LUMINOSA TEAM BEHIND YOUR PROJECT
You’re building a business.

Meet the team ↗UNDERSTANDING OFFSHORE
Your company in Hong Kong.
Your activity worldwide.
In business, “offshore” describes a company established in one jurisdiction whose business activities take place outside it.
Hong Kong’s territorial principle ↗A Hong Kong base. A global market.
Your company is registered in Hong Kong, while its commercial operations take place internationally: selling products, delivering services or trading with overseas partners.
Why is Hong Kong associated with offshore business?
Hong Kong applies a territorial tax system: the source of profits is central. Foreign-sourced trading profits may be exempt from Hong Kong profits tax under the applicable source rules.
What determines the source of profits?
The focus is on the operations that generated the profits and where those operations took place. This connection between international activity and territorial taxation explains Hong Kong’s role in offshore structures.

Let’s talk about your China project ↗CLIENT FEEDBACK
Their business.
Their experience with Luminos.
“Company opened in 5 days. Excellent follow-up.”
A remarkably smooth process. My Hong Kong company was operational in under 72 hours. Tracking progress through the dashboard was particularly reassuring.
Luminous helped me structure my international e-commerce business professionally. The team is responsive on WhatsApp, even on weekends.
I had tried other providers before. Luminous is in a different league: professional, transparent, and the bank account was opened without a hitch.
YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
Before you get started,
let’s talk specifics.
Have a specific situation? Your project deserves a tailored answer.
Ask my question ↗Do I need to travel to Hong Kong?
Company formation can be handled remotely. Business account requirements vary by institution: an interview or an in-person visit may be requested.
What documents should I prepare?
Prepare a valid identity document, recent proof of address and details of the business and the people involved in the company. We confirm the list for your application. The bank may request additional documents.
How long does incorporation take?
We provide a timeline after reviewing your application. Timing depends on the documents available and processing by the relevant organisations. Company formation and account opening are separate processes.
Is account opening guaranteed?
We help you prepare your application and meet the institution’s requirements. The final decision rests with the institution and depends on your activity, transactions and supporting documents.
What do I receive after incorporation?
Your company’s incorporation documents, including the Certificate of Incorporation and Articles of Association, are made available to you. Your client portal gives you access to documents and application progress.
How does an offshore company in Hong Kong work?
The company is registered in Hong Kong and operates internationally. Under Hong Kong’s territorial principle, the source of profits is determined by the operations that produce them and where those operations take place.
What should I plan for each year?
A company needs to manage its administration, renewals and applicable accounting and tax obligations. Our annual package lists the renewal services included; we clarify any additional needs with you.
Do you also help set up companies in China?
Yes. We review your activity, preferred city and business plans to prepare a tailored quote.
