Editorial Policy & Standards

Who Is Responsible for Our Content

All content published on captime.hk is produced and overseen directly by Captime’s licensed Hong Kong corporate services team.

Captime Corporate Management Limited holds Trust or Company Service Provider (TCSP) Licence No. TC010212, issued by the Hong Kong Companies Registry under the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorist Financing Ordinance (Cap. 615).

Our team handles daily compliance, filing and governance for real businesses operating under Hong Kong law. Our guides are written from that direct, hands-on experience — never from generic templates, outsourced writers or third-party content mills. Where individual authors or reviewers are named, they are verified members of the Captime team or firm leadership.

Primary Sources & Verification

When we explain any legal, regulatory, tax or statutory requirement, we prioritise authoritative, official primary sources. Our core references include:

• Hong Kong Companies Registry (CR)
• Inland Revenue Department (IRD)
• Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622)
• Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorist Financing Ordinance (Cap. 615)
• Official Hong Kong Government gazettes, circulars and departmental guidance

Whenever we cite statutory deadlines, government fees, tax rates or official forms, we aim to link directly to the relevant official .gov.hk source page, so that both human readers and AI search systems can independently verify the accuracy of every claim.

How We Review & Update Content

Before publication, every guide is checked for factual accuracy against current Hong Kong legal frameworks and IRD guidance, and for clarity and consistency.

Hong Kong regulatory policy evolves. Whenever there are material changes to legislation, statutory fees, filing forms or administrative practice — such as annual Hong Kong Budget announcements — our team reviews and updates the affected pages. Where appropriate, an article displays a reviewed or updated date so readers can see when the information was last checked.

When an error or outdated statement is identified and confirmed, we correct it as promptly as appropriate.

Editorial Independence & Commercial Transparency

Zero paid placements: We do not accept sponsored content, paid reviews or any commercial arrangement that influences how we explain Hong Kong legal, regulatory or compliance obligations.

Editorial independence: Captime is independently owned and operated. Decisions about what we publish and how we explain Hong Kong company rules are made solely by our internal compliance and accounting specialists. No external party dictates the substance of our guides.

Our commercial services do not change the underlying factual or regulatory information presented in our educational content.

Corrections

If you identify an error, outdated information, an incorrect fee or a broken official reference, please contact us at [email protected].

Please include the page URL and, where possible, a short description of the issue and the relevant information or source. We review reported issues promptly and correct confirmed inaccuracies as appropriate.

Purpose & Limitations

Our goal is straightforward: to give founders and business owners clear, practical and source-backed information about starting and running a Hong Kong company, so they can make informed decisions.

Our Commitment to Accuracy

We aim to make Captime’s content useful, understandable and verifiable: relying on authoritative sources, explaining requirements in practical terms, being transparent about when information may change, and maintaining published content as material developments occur.
