I run a business in HK, and generally it’s incredibly easy. Easy to set up, accounting is easy, ongoing fees are fairly low. So far I haven’t encountered any issue. But I’m well aware of the political issues being registered in HK might bring, and some (especially US) businesses might be wary of doing business.

If you want something more aligned with the US, the UK is a good choice. You can set up everything online for around £20 and for small businesses you don't technically need an accountant to file yearly accounts. They are friendly to company owners not being UK based.

Corporate tax rate on profits are 19% - 25% though.

The 16.5% corporate tax is definitely a benefit here, and for now it makes sense because I also live here.

If I were to return back to Europe, the UK might indeed be a decent choice.

And there's no jobs in HK. And no real tech. I haven't found anything here in a year. Looking to leave in the coming months.

There’s quite a few jobs in finance. But in terms of startup, or non corporate jobs, there’s very little.
