"How do I pay myself through a Hong Kong company?" It's one of the questions we hear most from foreign founders.

There are two common ways to receive funds from your HK company:

💼 Salary as an employee or director
Get a regular income you can count on, while helping your company reduce its taxable profit

📈 Dividends as a shareholder
Distributed from company profits after tax, but paid when sufficient retained earnings are available

Whichever option you choose, make sure to check with your accountant or corporate service provider first. It's also important to keep the proper documentation in place to support your company records and audit requirements.

As businesses expand across multiple countries, founders often ask: Where should I place the company that owns everything else?

For many entrepreneurs from Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, and beyond, Hong Kong becomes the answer:
✅A stable and trusted legal framework
Clear regulations and a well-established rule of law that gives businesses strong clarity when operating internationally.
✅International business environment
Hong Kong connects founders with investors, banks, business partners, and markets around the world, making it a practical base for managing subsidiaries and cross-border investments.
✅ A simple tax environment
A simple tax regime and ownership advantages that make it easier for foreign founders to structure and maximise their after-tax profit.

Which bank should you choose when setting up a business in Hong Kong?

The right choice depends on your company’s needs and growth plans.

- If you're looking for global credibility with access to additional financing and lending, a traditional bank like HSBC, DBS, or OCBC may be the right fit.

- If setup speed, lower fees, lower FX costs, and easy multi-currency payments, fintechs like Airwallex or Aspire could be a better choice.

📖 Our latest guide compares both, explains the application process, and shares what to expect before you apply. Read more: https://mybusiness-asia.com/news-insights/company-bank-account-hong-kong/
