Hong Kong Incorporation

I have registered a company in HK using a site startupr.com︂ couple of years ago.
The registration was done by them and there were no issues︃ about that.
They (startupr) told me what docs to prepare for setting up the bank︄ account and I did prepare everything they said I'll need for the interview at HSBC︅ bank.
I flew the half the world and went to the meeting in the bank︆ that they have arranged but it turned out that I'm missing some things because they︇ didn't tell me that I need that (very unprofessional of them!!!).
The clerk at the︈ bank was also surprised but have still accepted my application and told me to send︉ the missing documents by email to him which I did as well as some other︊ things bank also requested.
Three months later the bank declined to open a bank account︋ giving no reason for their decision.
Year later, I haven't commenced any business (since I︌ had no bank account) and I din't want to fly again to HK nor to︍ renew the company so I have closed (dissolved) the company.
When I have read this︎ thread Hong Kong is a trap, a fake good offshore jurisdiction I'm glad I didn't️ actually did any business there!
Right now I have a need to setup a new company and I'm considering Cyprus or UAE.

I think that a HK company can open a bank account in Cyprus (but never tried) .
If you only need the HK company but no HK bank account, I'd say any local HK agent is OK. I used always used the cheapest I could find 😉
For company formation, secretary and registered office, they where OK .
Check for the government fee. It has been reduced from ~US$300 to almost nothing ... 😉

Before it was just very much reduced, it being free now sounds even better. ... Hmm ... do US$200-300 really make such a difference? Especially if you can't get a HK bank account and for that matter also not a PayPal account. Da wiehert der Amtschimmel as they say in Germany ... The HK government should talk to their local banks if they want to promote business...
