What do I file when a mainland company's owners or managers change?

Last updated: Oct 21, 2026, 17:46 (UTC+08:00)

An amended memorandum of association and licence update with the licensing authority, and an updated beneficial owner register covering anyone with 25% or more or other control. The register is filed with the licensing authority and is not public. Keep the licence, the register and your bank's records in line, because a mismatch can freeze payments.
