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 covers establishments primarily engaged in operating billiard and snooker centres. These venues provide facilities for playing billiards, snooker, and similar cue sports, often including tables for public use and related amenities.

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
LowBilliard and snooker centres primarily serve local customers and require physical premises in Hong Kong. The nature of the business is inherently tied to the local market, making it difficult to qualify for offshore tax treatment.
