Unlimited companies can be divided into sole proprietorship and partnership. A sole proprietorship is composed of one person, and partnership can be composed of 2 to 20 people. There is no nationality restriction.
In terms of legal status, a limited company can own assets and sign a contract. It is a body corporate and has an independent legal status; an unlimited company can only jointly own assets and sign contracts in the name of the proprietor's private name or partners, and has no legal status. In terms of debt liability, the shareholders of a limited company are limited to the amount of their capital contribution to the company’s debt. Once the company is insolvent, the company only needs to wind up without involving the personal property of the shareholders; unlimited companies must bear unlimited liability for the company ’s debt If the debt is not repaid at the time of closing, the proprietor must use his private property to repay the company ’s debt. In terms of tax arrangements, a limited company must stipulate annual audits by independent accountants and submit its audit report to the tax bureau in accordance with the company law. The government currently levies a profit tax of about 16.5%, but it can deduct all normal company expenses, including directors ’remuneration which can be deducted from the company and converted into personal income tax; and although the unlimited company is not used for auditing every year, the government levies profits tax at a relatively low rate, about 15%, but private expenses are not deductible.
If you intend to carry on your business in the form of a limited company in Hong Kong, you have to deliver an application for incorporation of a limited company under the Companies Ordinance. You could seek advice if you have doubt on whether the business registration of your sole proprietorship or partnership should be cancelled.
