Document background
Business Articles of Incorporation are foundational documents required for company registration in Hong Kong under the Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622). They are essential when establishing a new company and must be filed with the Hong Kong Companies Registry as part of the incorporation process. These articles define the company's internal management structure, outline shareholders' rights and obligations, establish corporate governance procedures, and set out the basic rules for company operations. The document serves as a constitutional contract between the company and its members, providing clarity on share capital arrangements, director powers, meeting procedures, and decision-making processes. It's particularly crucial as it forms the basis for all future corporate actions and must comply with Hong Kong's stringent regulatory framework.
