How Global E-Commerce Startups Scale with AsiaBC’s One-Stop Setup
Contributed by AsiaBC | 28 Aug 2025
Scale Your E-Commerce Business Globally from Hong Kong
Taking your e-commerce business global is exciting – but setting up the right business infrastructure often comes with challenges. Between establishing your company, securing a bank account, and connecting a payment gateway, each stage requires careful handling and expertise.
Hong Kong’s low tax regime, international reputation, and strong financial landscape make it an ideal base for global startups. But even with these advantages, entrepreneurs still face obstacles, especially in securing a traditional bank account to qualify for most payment gateways.
This blog introduces AsiaBC’s One-Stop Setup Bundle and explains how it streamlines every step – from business registration to payment integration – so you can scale faster and enter new markets with confidence.
Your Complete Startup Solution in HK
AsiaBC’s One-Stop Setup Bundle covers the three essentials every international online venture needs in Hong Kong : business setup, a multi-currency corporate account, and payment gateway integration. Each step is handled from start to finish, so you can focus on growth and strategy without juggling multiple providers.
Company Setup
AsiaBC manages your Hong Kong business setup completely online. You receive a designated company secretary and full SCR compliance, with all government fees included, such as the Certificate of Incorporation and Business Registration. The package also includes a registered office address in Hong Kong’s CBD, giving your business a professional presence and credibility in the local market.
Business Account Opening
A traditional Hong Kong bank account is essential for most global payment gateways. AsiaBC guides you through the account opening process using our trusted banking network, which accelerates verification and increases the likelihood of approval, so your digital commerce platform can start receiving payments without unnecessary delays.
Payment Gateway
AsiaBC connects your business to top providers such as Payment Asia and Airwallex, enabling offline payments like QR codes and POS machines, as well as online methods including API integration and pay-by-link. Transaction fees range from 1.20% for Alipay and WeChat Pay to 3.7% for overseas cards. Offering multiple secure payment options strengthens customer trust and reduces abandoned carts. It also helps you reach buyers across international markets.

Anthony’s Cross-Border Breakthrough
Anthony, a British entrepreneur based in the UAE, had a vision : to bring organic treats, eco-friendly toys, and grooming kits to pet owners worldwide. He knew Hong Kong was the right place to establish his digital commerce brand – a market with credibility, tax advantages, and direct access to global customers. But turning that vision into reality required overcoming a few critical roadblocks.
The Challenge
Anthony’s first hurdle was navigating his Hong Kong company setup, which was more complex than expected for a first-time founder abroad. On top of that, securing a traditional business account – essential for connecting to international payment gateways – was another critical step. This would enable seamless integration with global platforms and allow him to start accepting payments from overseas customers. Finally, he needed a reliable, scalable solution to manage cross-border transactions and offer trusted payment methods worldwide.
The Solution
To streamline the process, he turned to AsiaBC’s One-Stop Setup Bundle, which bundled everything he needed into one seamless package. AsiaBC handled the business registration from start to finish, provided a prime CBD office address to strengthen his corporate presence, and leveraged its banking network to help him open a multi-currency business account. This qualified him for seamless integration with Payment Asia’s global payment gateway. This empowered the brand to accept Visa, Mastercard, Alipay, and more – covering both online and offline channels while adapting to customer preferences across markets.
The Results
Within just a month, Anthony’s pet supply brand was fully operational in Hong Kong and ready for international expansion. AsiaBC’s end-to-end support gave him efficiency and speed, cutting down the time and effort of coordinating with multiple providers. With secure, diverse payment options in place, Anthony’s business earned global customer trust, reduced checkout drop-offs, and saw a significant increase in sales.
