Company names in Hong Kong must be pre-approved for availability and acceptability. The Hong Kong Companies Registry has an advanced electronic name reservation system.
The Companies Registry in Hong Kong will only refuse a name if it is identical, almost identical or phonetically the same as a name already registered or implies state sponsorship.
Use of certain words such as Bank, Insurance and Group will require special permission.
