How do offshore companies in Hong Kong increase their capital and share?

Hong Kong companies can increase their registered capital in the following ways:

Attract foreign investment, increase registered capital and increase the number of shareholders.

Since the articles of association of Hong Kong companies show the share capital and the number of shareholders, Hong Kong companies need to provide copies of business registration certificates, registration certificates, complete sets of documents for the establishment of Hong Kong companies, articles of association and other documents, which need the consent of all shareholders and directors of the company, and form a resolution agreeing to introduce new capital and shareholders. After being collated and checked by the company's legal secretary, it shall be submitted to the Hong Kong Registry for filing and amendment of the Articles of Association. Due to the change of the number of shareholders, after the change of the registered capital of the Hong Kong company is completed, it is necessary to apply to the local bank in Hong Kong where the company has opened an account. If the number of shareholders is increased in the bank account of a Hong Kong company, it is equivalent to opening a new Hong Kong bank account. Therefore, new shareholders are required to submit personal bank account, address certificate, identity certificate and other relevant supporting materials to the bank where the Hong Kong company opens an account.

Increase the company's share capital or raise the par value per share.

This method is relatively simple, and the increased registered capital does not need to be actually received, only the nominal capital needs to be increased. As the share capital of a Hong Kong company is shown in its articles of association, the Hong Kong company needs to provide copies of business registration certificate, Hong Kong company registration certificate, complete set of documents for the establishment of a Hong Kong company, articles of association and other documents. All shareholders and directors of the company agree to increase capital and sign the resolution of the board of directors, which will be collated and checked by the company's legal secretary and submitted to the Hong Kong Registry for filing. If the company's articles of association change (if the company's total share capital changes, all shareholders' shares must also be submitted to Hong Kong). Because the basic information of the company has changed, it is still necessary to submit the updated information to the local bank in Hong Kong where the Hong Kong company account belongs, so as not to affect the use of the Hong Kong company account.
