## What is Hong Kong Company Search?

Hong Kong has over 1.4 million registered companies. This app tells you what matters about any of them: who they are, the licenses they actually hold, whether they appear on a sanctions list, and what's happening to them in the courts.

Every result is built from official Hong Kong government and regulator registers, and we're honest about each one. Where a record is an exact match, we mark it Verified. Where it's a strong name match but the regulator doesn't publish a company number, we mark it Probable and tell you to confirm. Where a register can't be indexed reliably, we link you straight to the official source instead of guessing. An expired license is shown as expired, not quietly dropped.

What you can do:

• Search any company by name, business registration (BR) or company (CR) number
• See the full profile: status, incorporation date, company type, registered address, and other companies at the same address
• Check the public licenses a company holds: Money Lender, Trust or Company Service Provider, Money Service Operator, Stored Value Facility, Authorized Institution, Authorized Insurer, and HKEX listing, each tagged Verified or Probable
• Screen a company against the United Nations sanctions list
• Follow Hong Kong court cause lists by company, party, case number or court, and read the hearing details
• Save companies to a watchlist and get a daily alert when one of them changes
• Reach the registers we don't index (SFC, Estate Agents, MPFA, trademarks, insolvency, food and liquor, transport, and more) through direct links

Pro adds the tools professionals ask for:

• Unlimited lookups
• Bulk lookup of up to 50 companies at once, with CSV import
• Client-ready PDF reports you can hand to a client, with the company's details, its licenses, and the sources cited

Where the data comes from:

• Hong Kong Companies Registry — company records, Money Lenders, Trust or Company Service Providers
• Customs and Excise Department — Money Service Operators
• Hong Kong Monetary Authority — Stored Value Facilities, Authorized Institutions
• Insurance Authority — Authorized Insurers
• Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing (HKEX) — listed companies
• Hong Kong Judiciary — daily cause lists
• United Nations — sanctions

Who it's for: lawyers and compliance teams running KYC and due diligence, corporate services firms, founders checking a counterparty before they sign, and journalists doing research. Available in English and Traditional Chinese.

Free to use, with 10 lookups a day. Pro is HK$148 a year or HK$18 a month.

Hong Kong Company Search is an independent research tool. It is not affiliated with the Government of the Hong Kong SAR or any regulator. Always confirm anything material with the official source before you rely on it.
