Survival of HK companies at 2025-12-14

Company type:

This page shows, at the chosen date, the number of surviving and dissolved HK-incorporated companies for each year of incorporation. Earliest records from the 19th century are understated due to lost records of dissolved companies. Registration was not required until 1911. Click and drag to zoom, right-click to zoom out.

Note: data on dissolutions are not reliable after 16-Nov-2020, when we started our last complete scan of the registry. On 22-Nov-2020, the registry implemented a new captcha system, preventing further data collection. The limited data available on data.gov.hk (comprising delayed weekly updates) only cover new incorporations and name-changes.
