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 providing a range of office administrative services on a combined basis. It includes tasks such as managing office functions, coordinating administrative support, and offering services like payroll processing, record keeping, and other general office management activities.

Offshore profits claim feasibility
MediumWhile some administrative services can be performed remotely, many activities require physical presence in Hong Kong for client interaction and service delivery. Contracts are often negotiated with local clients, tying the business to the HK market.
