How difficult is it to close a Hong Kong company?
Companies can be closed either by “Liquidation/Winding Up” or “De-Registration”. Generally, de-registering a company is relatively simple, inexpensive and a quicker procedure when compared to winding-up or liquidation. However, there are certain conditions that the company has to satisfy if it wants to be de-registered. The process usually takes up to 5-7 months, depending on the complexities involved. Winding up a company is a lengthy, expensive and time consuming procedure.
