By function

What is the structure actually for?

Each page describes the function in the principal's terms, the structural question behind it, and the documents the structure must support.

01Corporate Treasury Centres

Should treasury sit in Hong Kong, and what must be documented before banks and group companies rely on it?

02Private Funds, LPF, and Private Credit

Is the mandate a single deal, repeatable private credit flow, family capital pool, or fund platform?

03Regional HQ and Management Company

Which decisions, contracts, people, suppliers, and flows should sit in Hong Kong rather than merely pass through it?

04Market Entry and Growth Support

After the Hong Kong structure exists, what needs to be in place for the business to enter the market without confusing banks, clients, or counterparties?

05IP Holding and Patent Box Review

Which IP rights, contracts, revenue streams, and decision rights should sit in Hong Kong, and what counsel record supports that choice?

06Real Estate Holding and Investment Structures

Should the family hold property exposure personally, through a holding company, through a trust layer, or through a deal-by-deal investment SPV, and how is each one banked and recorded?

07Cross-Border Governance and Dispute-Proofing

Who decides, who benefits, who can block, who can sell, and what happens when the founder is unavailable?

08Family Business Succession and Ownership

How should ownership move from founder-dependent control into a system that heirs, banks, and managers can rely on?

09Private Deal SPVs and Family Investment Structures

Is this a one-off deal, repeat sponsor platform, family investment vehicle, private credit sleeve, or pre-exit holding structure?

10Bank Account Readiness and Source-of-Wealth File

Can a bank, private banker, compliance team, or transaction counterparty understand the structure without relying on personality or explanation by phone?

11Re-domiciliation to Hong Kong

Should the company change its legal seat to Hong Kong, and will the banking, ownership, and governance file travel intact?

Private review

When the route is real, send the file.

Use the private enquiry route when real ownership, capital, real estate, banking, IP, treasury, management, or governance pressure is already visible.
