How to open a call center in Hong Kong
Company registration in Hong Kong is straightforward and full foreign ownership is allowed. The first step when deciding to open a call center agency is to open a Hong Kong company. The limited liability company is a suitable type of legal entity for this particular business.
A call center will need to have the necessary equipment and technology to perform and manage calls. The various specific software will be needed as well as storage solutions. The space occupied by the call center will depend on the number of employees the business starts with. Hong Kong has numerous options for office space but a small call center agency can also start in a rented property that provides the needed office space and then move to a large, dedicated office building as the business expands.
