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 subclass includes nursing homes that provide care and accommodation for individuals who require medical supervision but are not exclusively for the elderly. It encompasses accredited facilities such as renal dialysis centers and residential centers that offer medical treatment for drug dependency.
This classification includes
- accredited nursing homes not solely for the elderly
- accredited renal dialysis centres
- accredited residential centres for the medical treatment of drug dependent persons
Classified elsewhere

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
LowNursing homes and residential medical treatment centres are inherently tied to Hong Kong premises and customers. Services are typically performed within Hong Kong, and contracts are negotiated locally, making it difficult to qualify for offshore treatment.
