Appoint a new director

Adding a director to your Hong Kong company takes three things: a board resolution, the new director’s signed consent to act, and Form ND2A filed with the Companies Registry within 15 days. This tool generates the first two, ready to sign.

How a director is appointed

For most Hong Kong private companies the articles allow the existing board to appoint an additional director. The appointment is recorded in a directors’ resolution, the appointee signs a consent to act, the company updates its register of directors, and Form ND2A must reach the Companies Registry within 15 days of the appointment. This generator produces the written resolutions and the consent letter in one document.

If your articles reserve appointments to the shareholders, or there is any disagreement among the owners, get advice before using a standard template.

After you sign

  1. Everyone signs — existing directors sign the resolutions; the new director signs the consent.
  2. File Form ND2A with the Companies Registry within 15 days of the effective date. The form itself is free to file.
  3. Update the register of directors kept at your registered office, and tell your bank if the new director will be a signatory.

Don’t want to deal with the Registry? Through Laulega Limited, our Hong Kong licensed trust and company service provider (TCSP), we handle the ND2A filing and registers as part of our company secretary service.
