Change your company name

Renaming a Hong Kong company takes a special resolution of the members and Form NNC2 within 15 days. Draft the resolution here, free.

How a company name is changed

The name changes on the day the Registry issues the Certificate of Change of Name, not on the day the members sign. Everything in between — invoices, contracts, the bank mandate — still runs on the old name, which is why the resolution below records both.

The members pass a special resolution (75% of voting rights) changing the name, the company files Form NNC2 within 15 days, and the change takes effect only when the Companies Registry issues the Certificate of Change of Name — not when you sign. A company may have an English name, a Chinese name, or both; the English name must end with “Limited”.

This generator produces written resolutions signed by all members — the standard approach for small private companies. Check the proposed name is available on the Registry’s e-Services search before signing.

After you sign

  1. All members sign the written special resolution (75% of voting rights is the legal minimum — this template assumes everyone signs).
  2. File Form NNC2 with the Companies Registry within 15 days (a filing fee applies). The change is effective from the Certificate of Change of Name.
  3. Update everything else: Business Registration Certificate (IRD), bank, company chops, licences, contracts and stationery.
