Otty's short answer
Sleek and Osome both register a Hong Kong company online for under HK$5,000 on current offers. Sleek lists a lower company secretary renewal (HK$1,300 per year). Osome charges HK$3,000 per year for an address and HK$660 per director change on its basic tier. Pick on year-two cost, not the first-year headline.

What the table does not show
First-year price: close, but not the same thing
Sleek's Starter plan shows HK$4,973 and includes the incorporation certificate, a business registration certificate, a company secretary, annual return filing and a virtual address. Osome's Essential plan is HK$6,195 at the regular price and HK$4,650 on the offer shown, and it is aimed at founders who already have a Hong Kong office address. Both packages include the government incorporation fee (HK$1,545) and the one-year business registration certificate (HK$2,350). Offers change often, so read the cart total.
Year two is where they split
After year one you pay for the company secretary. Sleek lists Standard at HK$1,300 per year and Premium at HK$3,800 per year. Osome lists Essential at HK$2,300 per year, or HK$1,400 per year with any accounting plan, and Unlimited at HK$3,600 per year. On Osome's Essential tier, extras are billed per action: HK$660 to change a director or company name, HK$880 to allot or transfer shares. Add Osome's HK$3,000 per year registered address and the gap widens.
Who holds the licence
Company secretary services in Hong Kong need a Trust or Company Service Provider (TCSP) licence from the Companies Registry. Sleek shows TCSP licence TC006483 on its site. We did not find a licence number on the Osome pages we read, so ask Osome which licensed entity will act as your secretary. A private company needs a company secretary who lives in Hong Kong, or a Hong Kong corporate secretary, and a Hong Kong registered office.
Where OCTIS fits
Whichever provider registers your company, your books and tax still need doing every year. OCTIS offers Hong Kong incorporation and company secretary, bookkeeping, profits tax and audit by a Hong Kong CPA practice. If you already pay Sleek, Osome or another provider, send us your current bill and we come in 10–30% off it.

Do I need a company secretary in Hong Kong?
Yes. Every Hong Kong company needs one. A person must ordinarily live in Hong Kong, or the secretary can be a company with an office in Hong Kong. A sole director cannot also be the secretary. Most online providers act as your licensed secretary.

Can I switch company secretary later?
Yes. A company can appoint a new secretary and file the change with the Companies Registry. Expect a transfer fee from the new provider, so ask for it before you sign.
