Startups often face foundational company law questions from day one: Which business entity should you choose? How do you build a sound corporate governance structure? What legal considerations come with different financing methods? Where are the boundaries of directors’ and shareholders’ duties and liabilities? Mishandling these issues can hinder growth or even create serious compliance risks! 
  
To help you master the essentials of Hong Kong company law, the Centre for Innovation and Entrepreneurship (CIE) invites you to join our Essential Hong Kong Company Law for Startups Workshop! This practical session will break down business entity types, corporate governance, financing approaches, and the roles and responsibilities of directors and shareholders – offering clear advice for building a robust and compliant startup. 

📢 You will be able to: 
🔝 Choose the right business entity from the start and avoid costly restructuring later 
🔝 Establish a compliant governance framework to minimise legal risks 
🔝 Understand key legal aspects of common financing methods 
🔝 Clarify the duties and liabilities of directors and shareholders
