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 encompasses residential care services specifically designed for individuals with disabilities, including those who are severely disabled, aged blind, mentally ill, mentally handicapped, or physically handicapped.

This classification includes
- care and attention homes for severely disabled persons
- care and attention homes for the aged blind
- homes for ex-mentally ill persons
- homes for mentally handicapped persons
- homes for physically handicapped persons
- residential special child care centres
- small group homes for mentally handicapped children
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
LowThis activity is inherently tied to Hong Kong premises and customers. Services are typically performed within local facilities, and contracts are negotiated with local authorities or families. As such, it does not qualify for offshore tax treatment.
