Hong Kong is the #2 destination in Asia for ease of doing business and one of the world’s leading financial centers. It is in the “business of business” so it’s no wonder so many foreign companies launch or open branches in Hong Kong.

If you’ve been thinking about starting a business in Hong Kong, the Wood Egg Hong Kong startup guide will be your go-to reference manual.

Each year we hire 3 researchers (at least one local and one foreigner who live in Hong Kong), a native English-speaking in-country writer, and an editor, to bring you insights from multiple perspectives.

Our researchers spend over 200 hours interviewing local business people, politicians, and citizens who regular foreigners would never have access to. This is 200+ hours you will save to hit the ground running. (Bonus: When you register your eBook at WoodEgg.com you get access to all of our raw research and interviews.)
