Frequently asked questions

We’ve helped 200+ founders take their business global. Here are the questions we get the most.

How fast can I be fully set up?
icon

Setting up a Hong Kong company typically takes 7 to 14 business days from the moment all documents are submitted. For a Dubai company, the process usually takes 14 to 28 business days, depending on the chosen free zone and the speed of local approvals. We handle the full setup for you from start to finish, so you can stay focused on your business while we take care of all the paperwork and compliance.

Should I choose Hong Kong or Dubai?

For e-commerce brands and dropshippers, it’s almost always best to start with Hong Kong. With a Hong Kong company, you can directly receive payouts from Shopify Payments (Stripe), PayPal, and other mainstream processors. Shopify fully accepts Hong Kong structures, which means your cash flow stays safe and uninterrupted. A Dubai company on its own is not always accepted by Shopify or Stripe. This means relying only on Dubai can cause serious payment roadblocks. That’s why we recommend starting with Hong Kong as your primary structure. You collect all your payouts there, and because Hong Kong offers 0% corporate tax on foreign income, you can then send your profits tax-free to your Dubai entity. This setup combines the best of both worlds. Hong Kong ensures stable, accepted payouts, while Dubai provides the ultimate tax-free environment to hold and enjoy your profits.

Can I still use Stripe, PayPal, Shopify payments etc.?
icon

Yes — in fact, this is one of the biggest advantages of setting up a Hong Kong company. With a Hong Kong entity, you can fully use Stripe, PayPal, and Shopify Payments without running into unnecessary roadblocks.

How can i do the payment?
icon

Once you confirm your package, we’ll send you an official invoice. This can be paid either by bank transfer (overbooking) or through a secure payment link that we provide. Both options are fast, safe, and ensure your setup process starts right away.

Is this legal and compliant?
icon

Yes, absolutely. Both Hong Kong and Dubai are established international business hubs with clear legal frameworks for global entrepreneurs. Setting up a Hong Kong company is 100% legal and fully compliant with international standards. Hong Kong is one of the world’s leading jurisdictions for e-commerce, and platforms like Stripe, PayPal, and Shopify officially accept Hong Kong companies.

What about high-risk businesses?
icon

High-risk businesses are not a problem with our structures. They don’t get blocked simply because you sell in niches like beauty, cosmetics, health supplements, or similar industries. The only cases where you risk a freeze or ban are if you’re involved in illegal or counterfeit products — for example, selling fake branded items or copyrighted goods without authorization. Those can trigger payment issues. As long as your business is legitimate, even if you’re in e-commerce, beauty, health, or supplements, you’re safe. Our Hong Kong and Dubai setups are built to support high-volume brands without random shutdowns.

Will I need to do accounting or reporting?
