Sleek: What Hong Kong Company Incorporation REALLY Costs

A headline price is easy to like. HKD 6,973 is a reasonable starting point for Hong Kong company incorporation, and Sleek’s Starter plan describes itself as all-inclusive, right down to a free business account and a debit card. The catch with “starting from” prices is that they usually describe one very specific customer. You only find out which one once you’re partway through the application.

So Bertrand Théaud, founder of Statrys, ran a real sign-up and paid the HKD 6,973 himself. That lets him report what happens at each step, not just what the landing page promises. He follows the price as shareholders are added, checks what “unlimited company changes” really covers, and unpacks the “no extra cost” and “free business account” wording. He also reads the small print at checkout.

If you’re comparing providers for a Hong Kong company, it’s worth eight minutes. The number that matters is the one you’ll pay after a second shareholder and a director change in your first year. Bertrand also gives you the questions to put to any provider in writing before you pay, and he closes with how Statrys approaches the same services.
