Great
Place for Doing Business
Hong Kong is one of the best places to do business in the world.
This is in no small part due to it being on the doorstep of
the world's largest single market, China and its having an efficient,
dedicated and hardworking labour
force. But it is also due to its history as a leading free port
in the Far East since the mid-19th century. The result is a
very cosmopolitan and business-friendly environment for both
foreign and local investors. The Hong Kong Government realises
and greatly values the contribution that overseas-owned companies
make to Hong Kong, and as a result places attracting more investment
high on its agenda.

Strategic
Location

economic regions in the world, Hong Kong is also ideally situated as a springboard into China.
-
Low
Tax

Language
& Leisure
Hong Kong is a melting pot of languages and cultures from around
the world. English is the lingua franca in the business community,
while Mandarin Chinese is also widely spoken. Its great cultural
diversity also means that there is no shortage of excellent
restaurants here, serving cuisine from the kitchens of the world.
Shopping is a national pastime among Hongkongers, but many recreation
facilities from sailing to golf are available.
