What it does
This actor searches the Hong Kong Companies Registry (ICRIS) by company name, CR number, entity type, or status and returns the official registration record. For each match it pulls the CR number, entity type, status, registered address, directors, company secretary, share capital in HKD, and nature of business. It's built as a programmatic, lower-cost alternative to Bloomberg, Refinitiv, and Bureau van Dijk for Hong Kong entity data.
Who it's for
KYC and AML analysts, M&A; and due-diligence teams, compliance officers, and B2B data teams who need structured Hong Kong company records without a six-figure terminal contract.
Sample fields / output
- CR number
- Entity type
- Registration status
- Registered address
- Directors

- Share capital (HKD)
- Nature of business
Example use cases
- Run KYC / AML checks on a Hong Kong counterparty before onboarding
- Verify directors and share capital during M&A; due diligence
- Enrich a B2B lead list with official HK registration details

FAQ
Where does the data come from?
Directly from the official Hong Kong Companies Registry ICRIS search, so records reflect the registry's current state.
Can I search by CR number and by name?
Yes — you can query by company name, CR number, entity type, or status.
Is this a cheaper alternative to Bloomberg or Refinitiv?
Yes. It returns comparable HK entity fields on Apify's pay-as-you-go model instead of a flat enterprise terminal fee.
