Starting a Business in Hong Kong, why?

Ranked first out of 157 countries in the 2008 Index of Economic Freedom issued by the Heritage Foundation[1], Hong Kong is one of the most open and dynamic economies in the world. The economical, political and social stability of Hong Kong, the simplicity of its business rules and regulations, the health of its economy (its GDP has experienced a growth of 6.4% in 2007) and the quality of its infrastructures make it a very attractive location for foreign investments: it is now the second largest recipient of foreign investment in Asia, after China. 

Though it is possible to settle in Hong Kong through different structures, the most popular and simple way to start business here is through the setting up of a Hong Kong Limited Company.
