Document background
Certificate Articles of Incorporation are essential documents required when establishing a new company in Hong Kong under the Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622). This document must be filed with the Companies Registry and serves multiple crucial purposes: it legally establishes the company's existence, defines its basic structure and governance rules, and creates a framework for relationships between shareholders, directors, and the company itself. The Articles must comply with Hong Kong's regulatory requirements and typically include provisions about share capital, director powers, meeting procedures, and decision-making processes. This document is particularly important as it serves as a reference point throughout the company's lifetime for matters relating to corporate governance and shareholder rights.
