Introduce myself and setting up accounts for HongKong company

[luyaoly]

Hello there, I'm Steven. I'm a former hedge fund employee and trade stocks mostly. I move tax residency from time to time, and it turns out to be difficult to change "tax residency" in personal brokerage account.

Currently I'm looking to set up a company and move portfolio to this company's brokerage account instead.
- Somebody already suggested me maybe try Hong Kong. If setup a Hongkong company, any 'success stories' in getting an Interactive Brokers account for the company?

- I may still need company bank account. Do I have to visit a hongkong bank? Or I can use other, like a US bank to open business account for HongKong company? (I guess I'm just looking for an easier approach to setup legit bank account. The bank doesn't have to be a hongkong bank.)

Hope that's a comprehensive introduction to my situation and let me know any advices!

i have HK company for my offshore activities, and yes you︄ need to fly there to sign the papers in HK branc to proceed your stuff..as︅ now locked with corona restrictions, not that easy. what is the solution you are looking︆ for? maybe i can help you with acc in EU

 

[luyaoly]

I guess the solution⁤ I’m looking for is a remote way to open regular Business bank account for the⁣ new hongkong company. It can be an EU bank. But I cannot travel anywhere since⁢ I’m currently stuck in US.

find agents. they can help you open bank accounts remotely. with legit banks like the‌ major banks there. i just opened mine, the agent fee was around $3k i think.‍

Try Statrys or Currenxie or Neat.
They all open accounts remotely.

With Neat you can open an online account, but for big︄ money it's not the best. I would get a brick and mortar bank...

For investing︅ only, banks are more relaxed with offshore setups, I'm trading options and futures with a︆ Seychelles IBC and bank accounts in Mauritius & Cayman lol....

But before opening a company︇ elsewhere I would ask first brokers and banks about the setups you have in mind,so︈ you can actually choose where to incorporate the company depending of brokers & banks willing︉ to accept you.

Any agent or EU bank can you suggest?

 

[Cetme308win]

I cannot‌ suggest any EU bank sorry

To start with welcome to the forum. You should not post such threads in the‌ welcome forums but in the EMI and Banking forums. I have moved the thread!

 

[Gediminas]

You could‌ open an account at one of the EU EMI's. That's what the majority of people‍ do. Just find the right EMI for your business.

 

[ShillGates]

which emi for uae/hk companies in EU would be able to onboard these?

apart from‌ bankera 😉

 

[Gediminas]

Globalnet, Verifo, Xace.

 

[Fred]

Paysera.

 

[ShillGates]

Hi,
Just want to⁤ know How much did it cost to set up a HK company?
I knew that⁣ HK company (sole trader not LTD) is much more cheaper. And it also can claim⁢ the offshore exemption.

May I ask if some of you guys are still around if you got any‌ account setup in Hong Kong for your company? If so, is it a foreign owned‍ company or you have local people to manage the company and it's day to day⁠ business?

Can you setup a brokerage account for your HK company ?

Yes, As I know IBKR and Futu Securities will be okay.
