Hong Kong keeps an unusually open company record at the Companies Registry, with well over 1.4 million local companies on the register and a constant churn of incorporations and deregistrations. AtlasForgeX tracks that registry alongside Hong Kong's census, trade and chamber directories — this page is a live view of that coverage and the buying signals Atlas detects.
These are real sources AtlasForgeX has discovered and verified as live for this market — the registers and public datasets it reads to surface companies the stored databases miss.
Tier A = primary official register / gazette · Tier B = statistics offices & major directories · Tier C = supplementary. Source list maintained live by AtlasForgeX. See the global register directory.
Companies incorporated under the Companies Ordinance are recorded by the Companies Registry (cr.gov.hk), whose ICRIS Cyber Search Centre lets anyone look up a company by name or company number. A separate Business Registration Number issued by the Inland Revenue Department now doubles as the territory's Unique Business Identifier, linking a firm across government systems. The register holds more than 1.4 million live local companies plus thousands of registered non-Hong Kong companies, and the formation-and-dissolution rate is among the highest in the world as holding vehicles and trading entities are opened and wound up.
Financial services, trade and logistics, import-export and professional services anchor the active base, much of it oriented toward cross-border business with mainland China. That orientation is exactly why aggregators such as Apollo and ZoomInfo under-cover Hong Kong: a large slice of registered firms are small trading houses, special-purpose and holding companies with no marketing website, and many operate primarily in Chinese. The data is open and searchable, but accessibility is not the same as having been collected — so Atlas reads ICRIS and the open web directly rather than relying on a stored list.
