Hong Kong company limited by guarantee — check the record

Hong Kong's charities, chambers, clubs and NGOs typically incorporate as companies limited by guarantee: no share capital, members who promise a small guarantee sum, and — unlike private companies — accounts filed with the annual return. Order the official record for any HK guarantee company in minutes, from €9.99.

Why counterparties check guarantee companies

Grants, sponsorships and venue contracts are signed with the company, not the cause — and guarantee companies dissolve or drift into non-compliance like any other. The record proves the entity exists under its exact name, is live, and identifies where legal notices land.

The mandatory-accounts feature is a bonus: for guarantee companies the filed annual return comes with financial statements, giving funders more to work with than a share-company search would.

What you receive

The official Hong Kong record for the guarantee company — name in English and Chinese where recorded, CR number, incorporation date, status and registered particulars — emailed in minutes as structured data plus a branded PDF. One-time payment, no account.

Frequently asked questions

How does a guarantee company differ from an ordinary HK Ltd?

It has members instead of shareholders and no share capital; members guarantee a nominal amount payable on winding up. And its transparency runs the other way: guarantee companies must file financial statements with their annual returns, which private companies limited by shares do not.

Is a guarantee company automatically a charity?

No. Charitable tax exemption under section 88 is granted separately by the Inland Revenue Department. A guarantee company can be entirely commercial-adjacent — verify the corporate record first, and treat charitable status as a distinct claim.

What does the record show?

The company's name, CR number, incorporation date, type (limited by guarantee), status, registered office and filed particulars as published — delivered as structured data plus a branded PDF.
