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 golf courses and providing facilities for playing golf. Golf centres may offer additional services such as equipment rental, coaching, and related recreational activities.

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
LowGolf centres are typically tied to physical premises in Hong Kong and cater to local customers. The services provided are inherently local, making it difficult for profits to qualify for offshore treatment. Contracts are usually negotiated and concluded within Hong Kong.
