Statutory Licensing Status & Service Classification (Trust vs Corporate Services)
#TCSP Register
#Trust or Company Service Provider
#TCSP Licensee List
#Family Office Trustee
#Company Secretary
Under Section 53F of the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorist Financing Ordinance (Cap. 615), operating a Trust or Company Service Provider (TCSP) business in Hong Kong without a valid TCSP licence is a criminal offence punishable by a Level 6 fine (HK$100,000) and 6 months imprisonment. The Companies Registry (CR TCSP Registry) divides the official TCSP Register and TCSP licensee list into two distinct branches: ① Trust Business (hundreds of licensed entities), authorized to act as express trustees for family offices and offshore wealth protection structures; and ② Corporate Services (thousands of licensed entities), authorized to provide statutory corporate secretarial services, registered office addresses, and filing submissions. 86hc.com connects directly to the official TCSP Registry to perform real-time TCSP licensee search verification across entity names, 8-digit BRN, TC licence numbers, and validity periods.
