Dezan Shira & Associates and Hong Kong: A HKD $6 Billion Partnership to China Investment Success

This year, our firm Dezan Shira & Associates turns 25 years old in Asia. We are an independent, professional services firm, and one of the primary brands in this field in the region. We provide foreign investors throughout the world with advisory services concerning their investments into Asia, including pre-investment due diligence and financial planning, legal establishment, IP protection, as well as financial management such as accounting, bookkeeping, payroll, HR administration, and treasury. We also provide audit support and compliance services, in addition to posting Hong Kong-bound, China-generated profit repatriation. 

 

Beginning life in Hong Kong and Shenzhen, China in 1992, we have grown over the past quarter century to have over 20 offices and several hundred staff across China, ASEAN, and India in all major cities throughout the region. Of the total foreign investment we have facilitated over the years into China, a significant and valuable proportion – some HKD$6 billion (US$770 million) – has been from Hong Kong businesses, making Dezan Shira & Associates a long term, proven, and trusted conduit for Hong Kong investment. Much of this Hong Kong investment was then subsequently re-invested throughout mainland China, with Hong Kong used as a local financial and management operations office.

Our Hong Kong Clients

Typical Dezan Shira & Associates clients are smaller listed companies, subsidiaries of listed companies, and small- to medium-sized privately owned companies. Many of which are world class and well-known brands, while others are more modest, producing innovative solutions. The vast majority have found considerable success in Asia, adding value to their shareholders, generating additional employment opportunities in both Asia and Hong Kong, providing increased taxable profits for the Hong Kong government once Asia-generated profits have been consolidated into Hong Kong head office balance sheets.

 

Dezan Shira & Associates’ Interaction with Hong Kong Business in Asia

We are members of numerous Hong Kong-focused organizations throughout Asia and have long lasting relationships with other Hong Kong institutional entities operating in the region. These include a variety of Chamber of Commerce’s in Hong Kong, who we have cooperated with over the years to support foreign investment all over China, as well as Hong Kong investment agencies such as the Hong Kong Trade and Development Council and InvestHK.
