Description

Many businesses perceive Members’ Voluntary Liquidation (MVL) as a straightforward process that can be completed within a 12-month timeframe. However, this assumption often overlooks the complexities that arise, particularly for Hong Kong entities holding various investments or assets in the Chinese Mainland. This seminar aims to challenge the common misconceptions surrounding MVL and provide a comprehensive understanding of the intricacies involved.

Expert speakers will share their firsthand experiences and insights on the real-world challenges faced by Hong Kong entities when representative offices (ROs), wholly foreign-owned enterprises (WFOEs), joint ventures (JVs), landed properties, trademarks, and account receivables are maintained in the Chinese Mainland. Each of these scenarios presents unique hurdles that can significantly extend the MVL timeline and complicate compliance requirements, making it crucial for businesses to be well-informed.

The seminar will not only highlight these challenges but also provide the knowledge and strategies necessary to effectively manage the MVL process. Participants will gain actionable insights and practical solutions to streamline their corporate structures, enabling them to navigate the complexities of business operations in Hong Kong and the Chinese Mainland.
