By district

District totals cover local companies only. Districts are inferred from registered office addresses and are not a register field. 98.1% of local-company addresses in the download window (Nov 2025–Nov 2026) could be classified (a match rate, measured 2026-11-05, not a verified accuracy figure). Unclassified addresses are omitted from district totals; the headline total also includes registered non-Hong Kong companies.

What these numbers mean“New” is counted by the incorporation date in Registry records and does not indicate that a company began trading. Historical incorporation counts retain companies later confirmed as no longer on the register; register totals exclude those confirmed records. Records awaiting a register check may still include companies no longer on the register. Check the Registry for current status.
