Talking about the current market scenario and the promising future of the Hong Kong market, founder Belinda Wong mentions, “Once the pandemic is over, there will be substantial growth in this industry because Asia remains as the global investment region. Economic growth will generate lots of internal demand and also attract foreign investors to find opportunities here.
In addition, quite a number of businesses collapsed during the pandemic. New comers will rush in to fill up the vacuum in serving the market needs. To be successful, entrepreneurs have to focus on their core businesses. Thus, there is a need to outsource compliance work to experts who would ensure that their clients fulfil all the legal requirements in doing their businesses”.

Leader Corporate Services as a company understands that the new flux of companies would need and want to focus on their core competencies and primary offerings to be able to focus on growth. This would only be achieved if secondary aspects like secretarial and compliance operations are outsourced through reliable partners. Under the visionary leadership of Ms. Wong, Leader Corporate Services Limited has stayed on top of the game whilst ensuring quality as well as knowledgeable service to clients. The young team at LCS keeps abreast with the latest happenings in the industry and offers their client with the most up-to-date information in the simplest of manner for easy understanding.
Ms. Belinda mentions, “In March 2014, Hong Kong adopted a new Companies Ordinance and some Hong Kong lawyers found the new piece of legislation too long for them to have a thorough understanding. They realized that they also needed to go to an industry specialist or authority in corporate law for advice. For foreign businessmen, in addition to corporate legal advice, they also needed proper guidance on how to conduct business in Hong Kong. Leader Corporate Services Limited has joined two of the biggest chambers of commerce in Hong Kong to keep abreast of the latest government policies and help businesses understand & implement compliance laws seamlessly. If clients need any commercial information or contacts, her company can also help them in these regards.”
