Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Answers to questions about company formation procedures, required documents, and differences between limited, sole proprietorship, and other business types.

The choice of company type depends on your business scale, risk tolerance, tax arrangements, and development goals: Sole Proprietorship / Partnership
  • Suitable for startups or small businesses with simple structure and low costs. However, owners bear all debt risks without legal protection.
Limited Company
  • Suitable for businesses with expansion plans or external financing needs. The company is legally separate from shareholders, with limited risk and better credibility.
Offshore Company
  • Mostly used for tax planning or international business structures. Note different jurisdictions have varying compliance, tax reporting, and bank account opening requirements.
