5 Best Company Secretary Services in Hong Kong in 2026

If you run a Hong Kong company from abroad — or you are in the process of setting one up — choosing a company secretary is one of the first compliance decisions you need to make. If you already have one and are thinking of switching, this guide covers that too. The problem is that most providers offer virtually identical service descriptions with unclear pricing, making it hard to compare on anything meaningful.

This guide compares five providers: Statrys, NOVA, Triple Eight, La Nao Consulting, and Prism. For each, we cover what is included, what is not, who they are best suited for, and current pricing where publicly available. The goal is to give you enough to make a decision without requesting quotes from five different firms.

All five providers hold valid TCSP (Trust or Company Service Provider) licences.

Statrys is a Hong Kong-based fintech platform that combines company incorporation, company secretary, accounting, and multi-currency business accounts in one place. Founded in 2020, we have supported over 10,000 clients and incorporated over 1,600 companies across Hong Kong and Singapore, with offices in Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand, the United Kingdom, and France.

Our company secretary service covers all statutory obligations: Annual Return (Form NAR1) filing with government fee included, Business Registration Certificate renewal with government fee included, maintenance of statutory registers, acting as Designated Representative for the Significant Controllers Register (SCR), a registered address, and a virtual mailroom that digitises all official correspondence. Everything is accessible through the Statrys Digital Backoffice — no physical presence in Hong Kong is required.

The main reason to choose us over a pure secretary provider is platform consolidation. If you need a business account and accounting alongside your secretarial obligations, we handle all three. For operators managing a Hong Kong company remotely without a local admin team, combining these services in one place reduces the coordination burden significantly.

Our team is reachable via WhatsApp, phone, email, and live chat — Monday to Friday, 10 am to 7 pm HKT.

For accurate pricing, contact us directly at incorporation@statrys.com or +852 5803 2818.

NOVA is a Hong Kong-based professional services firm that has held its TCSP licence (No. TC009410) since 2018. Its company secretary team includes chartered company secretaries and certified public accountants (CPAs) with over 15 years of experience in Hong Kong compliance. Switching to NOVA from an existing secretary takes one working day, with new service commencing within two working days.

NOVA uses cloud-based tools for real-time record management and assigns a dedicated relationship manager to each account, who proactively flags upcoming deadlines and keeps you updated on company status. This is a meaningful differentiator for founders who want active communication rather than a reactive filing service.

NOVA also offers accounting, bookkeeping, audit, payroll, and virtual office services — so if you want to consolidate beyond just a secretary, the option is there.

NOVA is the strongest choice on this list for founders who want a clearly priced, CPA-backed service with a named relationship manager. Unlike providers with quote-only pricing, NOVA's standard rate is published, which makes upfront budgeting straightforward. The CPA expertise also means NOVA can handle accounting and tax alongside the company secretary without bringing in a third firm.

Triple Eight was founded in 2010 and holds a TCSP licence (No. TC002775). It is part of the HKWJ Group, which includes HKWJ Tax Law & Partners — a firm specialising in cross-border tax planning, legal advisory, and international structuring. For companies with more complex structures, this gives you a single group to manage both standard compliance and advisory needs.

Triple Eight focuses on core secretarial work: annual returns, statutory registers, registered address, and handling of corporate changes, including share transfers and director appointments. If the structure gets more complex — multi-entity setups, cross-border restructuring, investor transactions — HKWJ Tax Law sits alongside.

Triple Eight is the most practical option for founders whose company is not straightforward — those with international shareholders, cross-border income structures, or anticipated corporate changes that go beyond routine filings. The group structure means you are not coordinating between a secretary firm and a separate tax adviser — advisory and compliance sit under one roof.

La Nao Consulting is a Hong Kong-based professional services firm with offices and representatives in Hong Kong, Shanghai, Mexico City, and Buenos Aires. The team works in English, Spanish, Japanese, and Mandarin, and covers company secretary, incorporation, bank account assistance, tax, accounting, payroll, and China strategy.
The Shanghai presence is the key differentiator here. For companies operating across Hong Kong and Mainland China — managing supplier relationships, holding structures, or market entry — La Nao can coordinate across both jurisdictions without you needing to brief a separate China-side firm.

La Nao is the right choice when Hong Kong is not the whole picture. If you are a Latin American founder using Hong Kong as a holding base, or a company with active Mainland China operations, the combination of multilingual capability and Shanghai representation gives you something the other providers on this list cannot match.

Prism Consultancy is a Hong Kong-based firm with over 20 years of experience supporting expatriates, entrepreneurs, and SMEs across Asia, Europe, and the Middle East (as stated on their website). It is one of the few providers on this list that combines company secretary services with in-house immigration and relocation support.

If you are setting up a Hong Kong company and also planning to physically relocate — work visa, dependent visa, or long-term residency — Prism handles both tracks under one firm. That avoids the coordination overhead of briefing a separate immigration lawyer alongside your company secretary.

Prism is the only provider on this list with in-house immigration and visa services. For founders planning to base themselves in Hong Kong — not just run a company there remotely — this integration matters. It also means Prism is better suited than most to founders setting up a physical office and hiring locally.

Every company secretary in Hong Kong must hold a TCSP licence — that is the baseline. Beyond that, five factors separate providers that keep your company clean from those that create compliance risk.

Any company providing secretarial services in Hong Kong must hold a valid TCSP licence issued by the Companies Registry under the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorist Financing Ordinance (AMLO). This is a legal baseline, not a differentiator. 

Verify on the TCSP Registry at tcsp.cr.gov.hk before signing anything. All five providers in this guide hold current TCSP licences.

Base fees are rarely the whole picture. Annual return filing, registered office address, and handling of corporate changes (director appointments, share transfers, shareholder updates) are often billed separately. 

Always request an itemised quote — including these government disbursements — and ask what triggers additional charges.

If you manage your company from outside Hong Kong, confirm that document signing is fully digital, that deadline reminders are proactive rather than reactive, and that the provider relays government correspondence on time.

Ask specifically how they notify you of Companies Registry notices.

To change your company secretary, Form ND2A must be filed by both the outgoing and incoming secretaries. 

Ask whether your new provider handles this process end-to-end and whether they charge for it. Switching fees and administration requirements vary by provider.

How quickly a provider responds during your initial enquiry is usually an accurate indicator of how they will operate once you are a client. 

If they take days to respond to a straightforward question before you have signed, that pattern tends to continue after.

The right company secretary for most foreign founders is one that handles compliance remotely, communicates proactively, and makes switching straightforward if your needs change. Price matters, but the total cost of managing compliance poorly — missed deadlines, late filing penalties, and the admin overhead of chasing updates — almost always exceeds the difference between a basic and a full-service annual fee.

Compare quotes, verify TCSP licences, and ask specifically about what is and is not included before committing.
