    learn coding vs outsource

    To my knowledge, there aren't. Ideally, you should consult with another dev that you already trust. If they like what they see, it's good, if they don't, it's probably not. Keep in mind devs come in many different shapes, one will say X is good, another will say Y is... There aren't definite...

    learn coding vs outsource

    I've been a programmer for something close to 12 years (disclaimer: started in childhood). What you're trying to do _is_ realistic but not necessarily what you want. What do you want to do? 1. Build a website? Use a theme, WordPress, Ghost, host it for free on Github. 2. Add feature X to your...

    Setting up a company in Hong Kong

    Yes, managed to do both though the account is on Currenxie instead of a regular bank. The process was less streamlined than I thought but no major hitches. I had to postal mail the papers to 3E (the accounting / incorporation people) and meet with Currenxie on a video call. Both were helpful...

    Setting up a company in Hong Kong

    Thank you, noted. I already hired an accounting company in HK and am about to file the papers (probably today or tomorrow based on how fast they were so far) so you're a bit too late but I appreciate it :) By the way, I'll edit my post about Osome. They are one spammy bunch. I only opened their...

    Setting up a company in Hong Kong

    Uh, yes, that's actually spot on. In hindsight maybe I could've started without one. I don't know how it'd work legally. I don't know how things work very much at all yet. Thank you for making me wary of this becoming an action fake. Made me aware of some smelly things. I'll definitely take it...

    Setting up a company in Hong Kong

    I have looked at Singapore. To incorporate in HK it costs 500-1000 USD, in Singapore it's upwards of 1000 USD. That's really my only reason (btw. I discovered this but I'm not using them: Osome). To be fair originally I wasn't even asking for help in choosing a country but the thread went that...

    Setting up a company in Hong Kong

    Can you elaborate? Estonian e-residency route requires me to fly to Singapore (closest pick-up location - needs to be done in person) and then quarantine for two weeks after coming back :inpain::cool: Singapore itself is not bad though. In any case I'm going to hire an agent somewhere today. I...

    Setting up a company in Hong Kong

    Are you asking why I didn't just register in Taiwan? High capital requirement (~8k USD) coupled with very special administration (I fought with them for half a year to get my residency - the law said one thing and the gov. agency did another. It took some insider knowledge to get me through...

    Setting up a company in Hong Kong

    I stand completely corrected. I calculated and my "way more expensive" is actually 50 EUR less in Estonia (albeit for a VERY rudimentary package with no accounting or filings taken care of so I'll probably end up paying more in the end but it shouldn't be much by the looks of it - plus I'll...

    Setting up a company in Hong Kong

    Estonian e-residency way is more expensive in terms of maintenance so even if admin were better it's still overall worse for me right now but it's a good contender :thumbsup: I'm not trying to be tricky by registering the company in HK. It's simply the best based on the research I've done. The...

    Setting up a company in Hong Kong

    Yeah, that's about right. In short the plan is to learn e-commerce while I work on my online service. I only have a rough idea on how I'll do it. I don't expect profits until much later. I didn't realize I could get taxed outside of HK based on customer location or bank account location. How...

    Setting up a company in Hong Kong

    Probably yes. I Googled a bit and some US states (Wyoming) allow non-citizens to create companies. Buuuut... I was really just asking if anyone has experience with any HK agents. I don't want a company in the US.

    Setting up a company in Hong Kong

    I live in Taiwan and don't have US citizenship so US is not something I can do. Biggest thing about HK is completely territorial tax system - there's no tax on sales outside of HK.

    Setting up a company in Hong Kong

    Has anyone opened an LLC in Hong Kong? I'm about to open one. It's my first company and I'm walking blind except for the walking stick that is the internet. I need to go through an agent but prices vary greatly - 500 to 4k USD for what looks like the same package. Listed government fees are...
