Osome is one of the more visible names in Hong Kong incorporation. The question isn't whether it's legitimate — it is. The question is whether the package you're looking at actually covers what you need.
Here is the thing most founders miss before they start: the Essential package does not include a registered address. That's not a minor omission. A registered address is a legal requirement for every Hong Kong company. Most overseas founders end up in the Comprehensive package or paying the Essential fee plus the address add-on (HK$3,000/year). Knowing this upfront changes the comparison.
This review covers what Osome includes, how the process works, what costs extra, and who it suits — so you can decide whether it's the right fit before you enter your card details.
Editorial note: Statrys competes directly with Osome in providing company incorporation services in Hong Kong. This review is based on publicly available information from Osome's official website and independent sources as of June 2026. We've aimed to be factual about what Osome includes, what it doesn't, and where the pricing is straightforward versus where it isn't.
Key Highlights
Digital-first Hong Kong incorporation: Osome offers a fully online process — no need to visit Hong Kong.
Three packages: Essential, Comprehensive, Ecommerce Comprehensive: Only the Comprehensive and Ecommerce Comprehensive packages include the registered address, which is required by law.
One-year company secretary and government fees for Incorporation application: Both are covered in all packages.
No in-house business account: Osome assists with account opening but does not provide its own payment services.
✅ Osome is a good fit for
- Overseas entrepreneurs setting up a Hong Kong company remotely
- Businesses with a simple structure and minimal ongoing requirements
- Founders comfortable managing everything online
🚫 Osome isn't a good fit for
- Companies with complex ownership or group structures (additional fees for more than 5 shareholders or more than 2 corporate shareholders)
- Founders who need an in-house multi-currency payment account
- Businesses that want all-in-one, simple pricing without calculating add-ons
What Kind of Company Is Osome?
Osome is a VC-backed technology platform founded in 2017 and headquartered in Singapore. They operate in Singapore, Hong Kong, and the UK.
Osome's model is built around automation: digitising incorporation, accounting, and compliance workflows for SMEs who want to manage everything online. They are not staffed for complex advisory work and don't position themselves that way.
Public review data (verified June 2026):
- Trustpilot: 3.5/5 from 600+ reviews
- A common theme in the reviews is that the incorporation services are generally rated positively, particularly for their speed and communication. Feedback on the accounting services is more mixed, with some clients mentioning delays, difficulties reaching support, and fees they did not expect to incur.
If you are signing up for incorporation only, the review picture is reasonably positive. If you plan to use Osome for ongoing accounting and audit, factor the mixed reviews into your decision — especially if you have a filing deadline.
Osome's Incorporation Package and Pricing
Osome offers company incorporation in Hong Kong and provides optional accounting, audit coordination, and tax filing services as add-ons during the application process. This review focuses specifically on its incorporation packages.
Prices below are Osome's standard undiscounted prices as of June 2026.
| Feature | Essential | Comprehensive | Ecommerce Comprehensive |
|---|---|---|---|
| Package price (one-time fee) | HKD 6,195 | HKD 10,495 | HKD 13,083 |
| Government fees for Incorporation application included | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Incorporation service | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Registered address (required by HK law) | Add-on (HKD 3,000/year) | ✅ | ✅ |
| Company secretary (required by HK law) | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Onboarding up to 5 individual shareholders | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Onboarding up to 2 corporate shareholders | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |

| Company changes (name, address, business activity) | ❌ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Mail handling and document forwarding | ❌ | ✅ | ✅ |
| PayPal Priority onboarding | ❌ | ❌ | ✅ |
The practical read on the packages: For founders who already have a valid Hong Kong-registered address, the Essential package (HKD 6,195) covers what's needed. For overseas founders — the majority of people reading this — you either pay for Essential plus the address add-on (HKD 6,195 + HKD 3,000/year) or step up to Comprehensive (HKD 10,495), which includes address and mail handling. The Ecommerce Comprehensive package (HKD 13,083) adds PayPal Priority onboarding for founders targeting ecommerce.
Accounting and tax filings are not included in any package — they are charged separately, starting from approximately HKD 3,500/year. If you need their accounting service, budget for this when calculating first-year total costs.
For context: Based on a survey of 512 entrepreneurs, the average total cost of incorporating a company in Hong Kong across all providers is HKD 9,474.
Osome Hong Kong Company Setup Process
Osome's setup process is fully online and structured. The application can be completed in a few minutes, with the option to speak to a representative if you need clarification. Company incorporation is typically completed within 3–4 business days once all documents are submitted.
Step 1: Get started
Visit the Osome website and click "Get Started" or select "Get this Plan" from your chosen package.
Step 2: Speak to a representative (optional)
You can proceed directly or request a call. Osome will follow up to guide you through the next steps.

Step 3: Answer a few questions
You will be asked whether you need a local address and whether you want accounting services. If accounting is selected, you will be asked for an expected revenue range.

Step 4: Create an Osome account
Provide your full name, email, and phone number. The full fee breakdown is not visible until after account creation — a friction point worth noting before you start.
Step 5: Review the package and pick add-ons
If you selected Essential, you can add a registered address here. Accounting add-ons can significantly inflate the total, as they are billed annually. Your accounting plan is based on your revenue for the financial year. If your revenue exceeds or falls below the selected threshold, Osome will invoice the prorated difference or apply a credit to your account accordingly.
The cost of your accounting plan depends not only on your revenue, but also on the level of support you require. You can choose how involved you would like your accountant to be, monthly or yearly. You can also choose whether to include audit services.
Step 6: Make payment
Pay via Visa, Mastercard®, Amex, or UnionPay.
Step 7: Provide your information and sign online
Provide company and shareholder information, complete online ID verification, and sign the incorporation documents digitally. Osome handles the filing from there.
In my experience reviewing online incorporation platforms, the step that catches most founders off guard is discovering the many add-ons rather than upfront. If you are budgeting based on the Essential headline price, revise that figure before you start.

The key differences come down to pricing structure and financial services. Osome offers a lower starting price, but essential services such as a registered address require an upgrade depending on the package selected. Statrys includes the mandatory incorporation requirements in a single package. In addition, while Osome provides assistance with opening a business account through external partners, Statrys combines incorporation and business accounts on the same platform, creating a more integrated experience for businesses that want to manage multiple operational needs in one place.
For accounting, both providers offer the service as an add-on, but their pricing models differ. Statrys uses a pay-per-use model with three months paid upfront, while Osome charges annually based on a selected revenue tier and service level. If a company's actual revenue differs from the estimate provided during onboarding, Osome adjusts the fees accordingly by either invoicing the difference or applying a credit.
The Alternative: Statrys
If Osome's package structure doesn't fit what you need, Statrys is the only Hong Kong provider that combines incorporation, accounting, and a multi-currency business account on one platform.
Statrys offers a single incorporation package at HKD 8,750, including a registered address, company secretary service, and a fast-tracked business account application. A dedicated account manager is available via phone, WhatsApp, WeChat, and email from day one. You can also get pay-per-use accounting on the same platform.
The main difference from Osome: the mandatory elements are always included — no add-on structure. Business payments is handled on the same platform.
