Most involve receiving requests from the Business Registration Office to submit a Notice of Commencement of Business by a Corporation. This usually happens when clients set up a company themselves but fail to submit Form IRBR200, resulting in the business nature remaining as &#8220;CORP&#8221; for a long period. Consequently, the Registry requires the company to submit the notice as soon as possible.<\/p><p>This article explains the meaning and reasons behind the business nature &#8220;CORP&#8221; on a Business Registration Certificate. It provides a step-by-step guide on how to change the BR business nature from &#8220;CORP&#8221; and the method for notifying the commencement of business, helping you better understand how to select a BR business nature.<\/p><p>Further Reading: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.genacct.com\/en\/business-registration\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Hong Kong Business Registration Certificate<\/strong><\/span><\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.genacct.com\/en\/brfee\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Business Registration Certificate Fees<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-47e4476 uael-heading-align-left elementor-widget elementor-widget-uael-table-of-contents\" data-id=\"47e4476\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;separator_bottom_space&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:0,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;content_between_space&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:4,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;toc_icon_size&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:20,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;toc_icon_size_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;toc_icon_size_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;heading_text_align&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;heading_bottom_space&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;heading_bottom_space_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;heading_bottom_space_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;separator_bottom_space_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;separator_bottom_space_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;content_between_space_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;content_between_space_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]}}\" 123456789=\"\" data-widget_type=\"uael-table-of-contents.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"uael-toc-main-wrapper content-show\" data-headings=\"h2\" >\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"uael-toc-wrapper\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"uael-toc-header\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"uael-toc-heading elementor-inline-editing\" data-elementor-setting-key=\"heading_title\" data-elementor-inline-editing-toolbar=\"basic\" >Table of Contents<\/span>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"uael-toc-switch\" data-hideshow=\"yes\" data-is-collapsible=\"yes\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"uael-icon fa\"><\/span>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"uael-separator-parent\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"uael-separator\"><\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"uael-toc-toggle-content\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"uael-toc-content-wrapper\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ol data-toc-headings=\"headings\" class=\"uael-toc-list\" data-scroll=\"\" ><\/ol>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"uael-toc-empty-note\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<span>Add a header to begin generating the table of contents<\/span>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1a9e292 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1a9e292\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What does the business nature \"CORP\" mean for business registration?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7fa6ef5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7fa6ef5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The business nature &#8220;CORP&#8221;
