Meet Up on Meet Up

It can be difficult to think what it would be like to relocate your life or job to another country. In Hong Kong, there is nothing short of making friends or creating a network. Whether you are, local or an expat, there are vast amounts of groups available in order for you to join in regards to your interest or adventures.

You’ll be surprised what you can find which is welcome to newcomers and on goers. There will be many people in the same situation or have been through that situation. Just feels like you’re back to school.  So why not try out a meet up group and begin your search for what you’re looking for. You never know what you can find and it’s a great opportunity to unleash some potential.

For Centre O Connect, we have our own meet up group to build a business community like no other, bringing together networkers and entrepreneurs. A place where you can learn great things and realise things you didn’t. Don’t worry; it’s not ‘all work and no play’, it’s a ‘work hard play hard’ attitude.

聚会见面

您是否很难想象将生活或工作搬到另一个国家会是什么感觉。在香港，最重要的是结交朋友或建立网络。无论您是本地人还是外籍人士，都有大量的团体可供您根据自己的兴趣或冒险加入。
您会惊奇地发现，新人和观众都欢迎您。其实有很多人处于相同的情况或经历过这种情况，感觉就像你回到了学校。那么何不尝试一个聚会小组并开始搜索您想要的东西呢。你永远不知道你能找到什么，而且这是一个释放潜力的好机会。
对于Center O Connect，我们有自己的聚会小组，以建立一个与众不同的商业社区，将网络人士和企业家聚集在一起。这是一个你可以学习伟大事物并实现你没有意识到的东西的地方。别担心；这不是“只工作不玩耍”，而是一种“努力工作，努力玩耍”的态度。

#2 COWORKING SPACE: THE MONEY FACTOR. What do you expect?

Whether or not a financial issue is one of the deciding factors for coworking for you, lets admit that it is probably at least a consideration. Sharing an office is cheaper than renting one alone. More than that, a shared office will give you the luxury of not worrying about administration, upkeep or any other issues that would cost money elsewhere. So how much can you actually SAVE, when choosing a coworking space?

You will be able to save on things like:

  • Rent
  • Utility Fees
  • Admin Fees
  • Upkeep and Maintenance
  • Internet and Telecom
  • Coffee, Tea, Water

Want to know more behind it?

Just email us at sales@centreo.hk

We will break it down for you!

#1 COWORKING SPACE: THE SOCIAL FACTOR. What do you expect?

Among the many benefits of coworking the social factor may come as one of the most attractive and one of the most controversial.

Some would talk about it in the realm of networking, socializing, supporting each other, learning from others and coping with loneliness.

While others would wonder about the privacy issues and whether they may be disturbed by their coworkers.

Perhaps, your take on the issue depends on what your expectations of coworking are. Coworking can be a place to meet new people, share ideas, and burn the midnight oil and discussing your startup projects. They can also be a quiet refuge where you can focus on the task at hand zoning the outside world out.

So the question is, what do YOU expect from a coworking space, when it comes to the social factor? Share your ideas with us. We will also be happy to answer your questions at sales@centro.hk

Company Secretary– Be careful who you choose

As the Company Secretary role cannot be the Directors or the Shareholders within the same company, another individual or entity must be nominated. There have been cases where Directors or Shareholders have chosen their friend or another individual entity as their Company Secretary which has turned out in a difficult and costly situation.

Recently we have a case, the client has nominated his friend in Hong Kong to be the company secretary.

This friend has changed his residential  address and forgot to mentioned to the Company Registration office, which Company Registry were sending company mail ( notice of late filing of annual return as well) to that old address.

At the end, out of expectation, this client got a court order sent to his home one day. He has to plead guilty at the court due to his company secretary friend did not file Annual Return on behalf of the company and did not response to any of the Company Registry notices.

Therefore to avoid cases like these, using the company secretary service from professionals can help you file government required documents without fault.

Company Incorporation (Tax and Invoice Scenario)

A client today was enquiring about our Hong Kong Company Incorporation services and was specifically concerned with invoicing to his clients in the future.

Hong Kong is much more casual than most places, therefore keeping both receipts and invoices for future reference especially tax and expenses is a bonus.

We help our clients with claims on tax as long as they keep the hard copy evidence of their expenses and invoices. This provides a much easier process with all evidence provided.

公司注册（税务和发票方案）

今天有一位客户询问我们的香港公司注册服务，还特别关注将来给客户的发票。
香港比大多数地方更随意，因此保留收据和发票以备将来参考，尤其是税收和费用是一笔奖金。
只要客户保留其费用和发票的硬拷贝证据，我们就可以帮助他们进行税收索赔。在提供所有证据的情况下，让过程变得更简单。

公司秘书——谨慎选择

由于公司秘书的不能是同一家公司的董事或股东，因此必须提名其他个人或实体。曾有董事或股东选择他们的朋友或其他个人实体作为他们的公司秘书的情况，但结果却是困难重重且代价高昂。
最近我们有一个案例，客户提名他在香港的朋友担任公司秘书。
这位朋友已经改变了他的住址，忘了提到的公司注册办事处，公司注册地分别发送荷兰国际集团（以及通知的年回报迟交的）公司邮件到旧的地址。
最后，出乎意料的是，有一天，这位客户收到了一份送到他家的法院命令。由于他的公司秘书朋友没有代表公司提交周年申报表，也没有回应公司注册处的任何通知，他不得不在法庭上认罪。
因此，为避免此类情况，使用专业公司秘书服务可以帮助您无误地提交政府所需的文件。
