Why 6 digits?

HSIC subclasses are 6 digits. The first four match the international ISIC class; Hong Kong adds a two-digit local suffix for finer detail, especially across its import and export trade, so a code steps from a 4-digit class straight to a 6-digit subclass. More on the HSIC structure.

This activity involves the provision of services related to the design of interior spaces and furniture. It includes creating functional and aesthetically pleasing environments through the arrangement of furniture, fixtures, and decor, as well as the design of custom furniture pieces.

Licences and approvals

What this activity needs to operate

No sector-specific licence applies to this activity. It can be set up as a standard Hong Kong company without extra regulatory approvals. Premises-based or product-based permits can still apply case by case; Emerhub confirms the exact position during scoping.

Offshore profits claim feasibility

Medium

While some design services can be performed remotely, many projects require on-site consultations and collaboration with local clients. This ties the activity closely to Hong Kong's market and premises, limiting the potential for offshore treatment.
