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 that provide facilities for skating, including ice skating and roller skating. These centres typically offer recreational skating opportunities, lessons, and may host skating events or competitions.

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
LowSkating centres are inherently tied to physical premises in Hong Kong. The majority of customers are local residents and tourists, making it difficult to qualify for offshore treatment. Contracts for services are typically negotiated and executed within Hong Kong.
