A large share of Hong Kong Ltds begin life as shelf companies: incorporated in bulk, sold, renamed and put to work. That is legal and normal — but it means the entity behind a fresh-sounding brand may carry years of prior history under other names, or conversely be weeks old. The registered record, with its incorporation date and name history, is what separates the two.
Status deserves equal attention: dormant, in-liquidation and dissolved companies keep circulating on paperwork long after their operational life ends.
Registered name (English and Chinese where recorded), CR number, incorporation date, company type, status, registered office and filed particulars as published, including name history. Delivered as structured data plus a branded PDF by email in minutes. From €9.99.
The CR number is assigned by the Companies Registry at incorporation; the BRN comes from the business registration regime and now serves as the general identifier in Hong Kong. Invoices usually quote the BRN; corporate documents the CR number. A proper check ties both to the same entity.
Because Hong Kong companies change names unusually often — shelf companies are bought and renamed, and trading brands rotate. The record's previous-name trail is frequently the only way to connect an old contract to today's entity.
Hong Kong companies file annual returns disclosing directors and members, and those filed particulars form part of the public record. Our report contains the company particulars the official sources publish.
