VP Business Centre - Hong Kong will remain unmatched as a place to do business - 5 December 2008
As reported in the SCMP on 5 Dec 2008, Hong Kong will remain unmatched as a place to do business for the foreseeable future and play an important role in the development of the mainland's service sector and "Hong Kong is a far, far, far better city for business," said Professor Michael Enright, the Sun Hung Kai Professor of Business Administration at the University of Hong Kong. VP Business Centre shares this view as Hong Kong has a low tax regime, less regulatory hurdle, no foreign exchange control and well-developed legal system. VP Business Centre is well positioned to serve the needs of those doing business in the Greater China covering serviced office, virtual office, company incorporation in Hong Kong and China, accounting and tax as well as trade mark registration. - 5 Dec 08
