Check Company Name Availability Hong Kong — Free Name Search

Free Hong Kong Company Name Check – Benefit for Entrepreneurs

Want to check company name availability in Hong Kong before you register?

No two limited companies in Hong Kong are allowed to share the same company name. Complete the form on this page to get a free Hong Kong company name check. Our company incorporation package includes a free Hong Kong company name search as standard.

In Hong Kong, a business name is the name a company uses in its daily operations. A business name can differ from a trademark, which is used to identify and promote specific products or services. Note that registering a business name does not protect against trademark infringement — especially if your name is similar to an existing registered trademark.

Is a Hong Kong Company Name Check Necessary?

Company names in Hong Kong are issued on a first-come, first-served basis. If your proposed name has already been registered — or is being registered — by another company, your application will be rejected.

You may also face trademark issues if your name falls within the same category as another business, or is confusingly similar. You could be liable for trademark infringement or trademark dilution if your company name is substantially similar to an existing one.

Running a Hong Kong company name availability check is now a necessary step. It rules out duplication and confirms that your chosen name is free to use. It is also critical to your branding strategy — helping you stand out from existing businesses.

How to Check Company Name Availability in Hong Kong

To avoid disputes over similar names, it is advisable to run a free Hong Kong company name search via one of these two official methods:

1. Company Registry’s Cyber Search Centre
2. Company Search Mobile Service

Company Registry’s Cyber Search Centre (ICRIS)

1. A free platform to search Hong Kong company names online. You can search in English or Chinese using live registry data.
2. “Left Partial” or “Exact Name”
   • When you initiate the name search, you are given two choices for name search: left partial or exact name.
   • Left partial, as the name implies, means that if any of those words are in any company name, either active or old, the name will come up.
3. Certified Screen Print

• • Pay a small fee to receive a certified screenshot for professional or legal use.
