Bud Fund In Hong Kong, What Is It About?

Bud Fund In Hong Kong, What Is It About?

From early 2020 to 2022, the Hong Kong government issued their support to open their branch, entering Hong Kong, and then later for Mainland China and South East Asia. This includes the release of Bud Fund which was launched way back then in 2012, as the funding for foreign companies to open their company on Hong Kong, South East Asia, and Mainland China soil.

So, what is Bud Fund and how does it work? Well, BUD is an acronym for Branding, Upgrading, and Domestic Sales, so the Bud is funds that have been launched to support the Branding, Upgrading, and then Domestic sales for a foreign private company that wants to establish their company in Hong Kong soils, or later into Mainland China. 

These funds were used to support several non-listed Hong Kong companies and enterprises to open their market to the growing sales and productions in Mainland China. These funds would help support the Hong Kong enterprises to create their projects, develop their brands, promote domestic sales growth, and promote their sales into Mainland China, supported by the Bud Fund. 

What Is The Bud Fund?

So what are exactly Branding, Upgrading, and Domestic sales fund? Between 2018 and 2020 the Hong Kong government issued a verdict to boost their economic and geographical scope, especially among the ASEAN (Association of South East Asian Nations), alongside many other countries that comes and signed the Free Trade Agreements, with Hong Kong.

Thus, there have been created two parallel programs that were created to boost Hong Kong's international economy, as well as the geographical strength among these countries, and this agreement is named the Mainland Programme, and FTA (Free trade agreements) program. From these two initial programs, the government then issued the Bud Fund to further boost the productivity of Hong Kong enterprises. 

Bud Fund Application and Its Markets

This fund are created and is now available for most of the Hong Kong enterprises that are looking for a way to undertake projects, in foreign soils, but only for those who had Free Trade Agreement or FTA with Hong Kong, alongside Mainland China that included in the Mainland program. 

This includes many ASEAN countries' markets, including Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, Brunei, Malaysia, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Myanmar, and the Philippines. 

Outside of the ASEAN countries, the BUD also included the funding for projects and trade agreements for many FTA countries' markets, including the four European states included in Free Trade Association: Iceland, Norway, Liechtenstein, and Switzerland. Many other FTA countries such as New Zealand, Macao, Chile, and Georgia.

In the newly released Hong Kong budget, per February 2021, the Bud Fund Hong Kong now covers more countries, including a total of 37 countries that have been newly added to the FTA with Hong Kong. This included but was not limited to the investment promotion, signed pacts, and trade treaties with the FTA countries such as Austria, Belgium, Canada, Luxembourg, Denmark, France, Finland, Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, Kuwait, Indonesia, UAE, UK, Mexico, Mainland China, and many other including ASEAN nations.

Bud Fund Programs and What They Provide

The initial funding program provided most of the matching basis that covers a maximum of 50% of the total Branding, Upgrading, and Domestic sales project cost. The enterprise alone has to contribute at least 50% or no less than it has to make its projects approved by the Hong Kong government. 

The total cumulative costs of the projects that have been contributed by the company are approximately around HKD 4.000.000. These are the funds required for the company to be included in the Bud Fund lists, for their projects to be approved to create foreign projects, mainly on the ASEAN trade, Mainland pacts, and the FTA country projects.

(b) 公司財務報告記錄;

(c) 公司商業交易及營運記錄。

Q2:香港或海外上市公司旗下的香港公司(非上市)可否申請資助?

由於上市公司的子公司與母公司為獨立的法律實體,即使母公司在香港或海外是上市公司,只要該子公司在香港及海外是非上市公司,並按照《商業登記條例》(310 ) 在香港登記及在香港境內有實質業務運作,便符合申請資助的資格。

BUD專項基金」旨在透過向個別企業提供財政資助,協助他們推行有關發展品牌、升級轉型和拓展營銷的項目,以開拓及發展中國內地/東盟業務。由於上市公司在籌集資金方面有較多選擇,為求讓更多有實際需要的企業受惠,所有上市公司,包括於本港的主板和創業板,以及香港以外地區上市的公司,均未能符合申請資格。 

Q7:如企業在中國內地是註冊上市公司,附屬的子公司是香港註冊的非上市公司,子公司在香港申請計劃的資助,但項目則在中國內地的公司(上市公司)實施,這是否可行?

若資助項目是由中國內地上市的公司執行及受益,由於上市公司在籌集資金方面有一定的能力,為求讓更多有實際需要的企業受惠,有關資助申請將不獲批。
