Are You Prepared To Take On The Duties Of A Company Director In Hong Kong?

A director’s job brings with it huge responsibilities and stresses. However, as the director is the one in charge of the daily running and long term success of the company, his/her work is governed by a set of legal guidelines and industry best practices. In Hong Kong, every private limited company must have at least one director and the job profile is regulated according to the Companies Ordinance, the case law, the common law and also the resolutions passed by the shareholders.
