Columns
| Column | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| business_registration_number | text | Business Registration Number (BRNO) — primary identifier for the company |
| cr_number | text | Company Registration Number (CRN) — empty when no CRN is on record for the company. See has_no_cr_number to distinguish a registry-confirmed absence from a value we simply don't have |
| has_no_cr_number | yes/no | True when the registry confirms the company has NO Company Registration Number (post-2023 UBI companies), as opposed to a CRN we just don't have on record (in which case cr_number is empty and this is false) |
| english_name | text | Company name in English, as registered. Where the Companies Registry stored the name wrapped in enclosing parentheses — a marker it applies to the secondary-language name on records from roughly 1988-2005, not part of the registered name — those outer brackets are removed upstream; parentheses that belong to the name itself are kept |
| chinese_name | text | Company name in Chinese characters, as registered. Where the Companies Registry stored the name wrapped in enclosing parentheses — a marker it applies to the secondary-language name on records from roughly 1988-2005, not part of the registered name — those outer brackets are removed upstream; parentheses that belong to the name itself are kept |
| status | text | Reconciled legal lifecycle state, in the Companies Registry's own vocabulary (ICRIS ACTIVE_STATUS_*): Live, Dissolved, Ceased place of business, Ceased to exist as an entity after amalgamation, Ceased Registration; null if unknown. 'Ceased place of business' is a registered non-Hong Kong company (Cap. 622 Part 16) that filed Form NN13 — it is NOT dissolved and may still exist under its home jurisdiction. 'Struck off' is a MECHANISM of dissolution, not a status — a struck-off company reads status='Dissolved' with dissolution_mode='Struck Off'; compose the two for display (e.g. 'Dissolved — struck off'). A company that is still Live but has a strike-off or deregistration underway carries striking_off_in_progress / deregistration_in_progress. |
| is_active | yes/no | True if the company has a Live (registered) status. Note a Live company may still be in distress — check striking_off_in_progress, winding_up_in_progress and has_receiver_appointed. |
| is_dissolved | yes/no | True if status indicates dissolution/amalgamation/struck-off, or a dissolution date exists with a non-active status |
| is_dormant | yes/no | True if the company currently has an OPEN dormancy interval (registry's own dates) |
| dormant_since | text | Date the company's current dormancy interval commenced (null if not currently dormant) |
| lifecycle_substatus | text | Detailed lifecycle sub-status (e.g. live-but-dormant, ceased place of business), best-effort label |
| money_lender_licence_status | text | Money Lenders Ordinance (Cap. 163) register status for this company — licensed, application_pending, licence_expired, application_dismissed or application_withdrawn; empty for the vast majority of companies (no register entry). Linked by deterministic company-name match; full register entries and match rules in the crhk_money_lenders dataset |
| company_type | text | Legal entity form — the classification that cleanly splits every organisation, each mapping to its governing HK ordinance: Local company (Companies Ordinance Cap. 622), Registered non-Hong Kong company (Cap. 622 Part 16), Limited partnership (Cap. 37), Limited partnership fund (Cap. 637), Open-ended fund company (Cap. 571), Registered trustees (Cap. 306), Statutory body corporate, Mutual fund, Unregistered company, Overseas corporation with registered charge. Ownership and liability (below) further describe local companies |
| ownership | text | Ownership class of a local Hong Kong company (Companies Ordinance Cap. 622): Private (restricted share transfer, ≤50 members, no invitation to the public — s.11) or Public (s.12). Null for companies limited by guarantee (no share-ownership axis) and for all non-Cap.622 forms (funds, partnerships, non-Hong-Kong companies) |
| liability | text | Members' liability form of a local Hong Kong company (Companies Ordinance Cap. 622): Limited by shares (s.8), Limited by guarantee (s.9 — no share capital), or Unlimited (s.10). Null for non-Cap.622 forms (funds, partnerships, non-Hong-Kong companies) |
| incorporation_date | text | Date the company was incorporated in Hong Kong (YYYY-MM-DD format) |
| incorporation_year | number | Year the company was incorporated |
| years_since_incorporation | number | Number of years since the company was incorporated (calculated from today) |
| dissolution_date | text | Date the company was dissolved (null if still active) |
| dissolution_mode | text | How the company dissolved, best-effort label paired with dissolution_date |
| redomicile_date | text | Date the company re-domiciled into/out of Hong Kong (null if not applicable) |
| amalgamation_date | text | Date the company was amalgamated (merged), null if not applicable |
| ceased_business_date | text | Date a foreign company ceased its Hong Kong place of business (foreign analogue of dissolution) |
| registered_office_address | text | Registered-office address as last observed. FROZEN: every source feeding this column stopped delivering on 2024-04-18, so no address here has been re-observed since, and companies incorporated after that date have NO address at all — 0.00% of the 461,030 of them, against 41.79% for companies incorporated before. Read it as a historical address, not a current one. (The previous wording attributed the gap to the registry withholding addresses for long-dead companies; that is not what the data shows — the gap is total for the NEWEST companies, which is the signature of a withdrawn feed, not of registry policy.) See address_as_of for the per-row observation date. |
| has_address | yes/no | True if a registered-office address was on record for the company as at 2024-04-18. FROZEN alongside registered_office_address: companies incorporated after that date have none, so a false here means 'we never observed one', not 'the company has no registered office'. |
| address_as_of | date | Date we last observed the registered-office address on record (full history in crhk_address_history) |
| charges_register | text | Charges register indicator from legacy registry data (有 = charges exist) |
| has_charges | yes/no | True if charges (mortgages, debentures or other security) are registered against the company (270,887 companies). Unified across both registry arms — the legacy charges register and the modern e-services indicator — so it stays correct even where one arm is silent. |
| winding_up_mode | text | Winding-up mode if the company is being wound up: Compulsory Winding Up, Members' Voluntary Winding Up, Creditors' Voluntary Winding Up, or Others (ICRIS canonical). Empty if not in winding up. |
| striking_off_in_progress | yes/no | True if the Companies Registry has commenced striking-off action against the company but it is not yet dissolved. Read with `status`: a company that is still Live with this flag set is being struck off right now — the single strongest distress signal in this dataset, and one no other column carries. |
| deregistration_in_progress | yes/no | True if a deregistration application is underway (Form NDR1, Cap. 622 s.751) but the company is not yet dissolved. Unlike striking-off, deregistration is voluntary — the members applied for it. |
| winding_up_in_progress | yes/no | True if winding-up proceedings have commenced but the company is not yet dissolved. See winding_up_mode for the mechanism (compulsory / members' voluntary / creditors' voluntary) and winding_up_date for the commencement date. |
| has_name_dispensation_licence | yes/no | True if the company holds a licence under s.103 of the Companies Ordinance to dispense with the word 'Limited' / '有限公司' in its name — granted to companies formed to promote commerce, art, science, religion, charity or any other useful object. Explains why a Hong Kong limited company may carry a name with no 'Limited' suffix. |
| is_listed_company_legacy_marker | yes/no | True if the legacy registry profile marked this company as listed (上市公司). FROZEN: the modern e-services API publishes no listing marker, so this reflects the registry profile as of 2023-12-22 and will never gain new values. Treat it as a historical cross-check, not a current listing status — use the HKEX datasets for that. |
| is_one_member_company | yes/no | True if registered as a one-member (sole-member) company |
| has_receiver_appointed | yes/no | True if a receiver or manager has been appointed (insolvency-distress signal, rare — 407 companies). Unified across the modern rcvrApptInd indicator and the registry notice set: the indicator alone identifies 357, and the notice set contributes 50 more that it does not carry. |
| is_deregistered | yes/no | True if the company is/was deregistered (voluntary deregistration; legacy ICRIS registry signal) |
| deregistration_date | text | Deregistration commencement date (ISO YYYY-MM-DD), when recorded |
| strike_off_date | text | Striking-off commencement date (ISO YYYY-MM-DD), when recorded |
| is_s291_striking_off | yes/no | True if flagged for striking off under s.291 as a defunct company (legacy ICRIS registry signal) |
| is_winding_up | yes/no | True if in winding-up (liquidation) proceedings, reconciled across the legacy and modern captures |
| winding_up_date | text | Winding-up commencement date (ISO YYYY-MM-DD), when recorded |
| restoration_date | text | Date the company was restored to the register after striking-off/deregistration (ISO YYYY-MM-DD) |
| accounting_reference_date | text | Registry accounting reference date (ISO YYYY-MM-DD), when recorded |
| last_agm_date | text | Date of the last annual general meeting on record (ISO YYYY-MM-DD) |
| one_member_status_date | text | Date the one-member (sole-member) status was last updated on the register (ISO YYYY-MM-DD) |
| registry_remark | text | Registry caution or notice about the company, verbatim and often BILINGUAL (English and Traditional Chinese in one value). One notice stream collapsed from its two historical sources (the e-services profile page and the legacy register remark; both frozen). Despite reading as free text it is largely TEMPLATED — see registry_notice_type for the classification; over a thousand are amalgamation notices naming the successor company and its CR number (extracted into amalgamated_into_crn). Kept verbatim on purpose: accuracy cautions are exactly the notices a diligence reader must see unabridged. |
| registry_notice_type | text | The registry notice classified into a fixed set of families — the commonest are 'Name changed by Registrar', 'Amalgamation', 'Secretary appointment disputed' and 'Accuracy caution'; 'Unclassified' marks the counted residual (the verbatim text in registry_remark is always the authority) |
| amalgamated_into_crn | text | For a company dissolved by amalgamation whose notice names the successor: the successor company's CR number (e.g. '1549159'), extracted from the notice text. Null for survivor-side notices (the company that REMAINS after the amalgamation has no successor by definition) and where the registry published no CR number |
| is_on_watch_list | yes/no | True if the company appears on the registry watch list (legacy ICRIS registry signal) |
| has_prosecution | yes/no | True if a prosecution has been recorded against the company (legacy ICRIS registry signal) |
| chapter_number | text | Hong Kong Ordinance chapter number for statutory bodies (modern API), where applicable |
| incorporation_country | text | Country of incorporation in English (foreign companies only), in the Companies Registry's own e-services display form: 'British Virgin Islands', 'Cayman Islands', 'the People's Republic of China', 'United States of America'. One label per country — derived from `incorporation_country_code` via a fixed 111-entry bijective map (normalised 2026-08-30; before that the column shipped TWO vocabularies — the Registry's published-register UPPERCASE short names on 90% of rows and this display form on the rest). For exact filtering prefer `incorporation_country_code` (ISO-3166 alpha-3, populated on 99.95% of rows carrying a country). The 18 rows without a code (NULL there) keep the Registry's published-register UPPERCASE form — the one declared remnant of the old vocabulary. Empty for local Hong Kong companies. |
| incorporation_country_code | text | Country of incorporation as the ISO-3166 alpha-3 code (foreign companies only, e.g., 'VGB', 'CYM', 'BMU') — the Registry's stable key, from which `incorporation_country` and `incorporation_country_chinese` are derived; prefer it for filtering. NULL on 18 legacy-only rows that carry a label but no code. Empty for local Hong Kong companies. |
| incorporation_country_chinese | text | Country of incorporation in Traditional Chinese (foreign companies only), in the Registry's e-services display form: '英屬維爾京群島', '開曼群島', '中華人民共和國'. Derived from `incorporation_country_code` via the same fixed 111-entry map as `incorporation_country` (normalised 2026-08-30). The 18 rows without a code keep the legacy published form. Empty for local Hong Kong companies. |
| updated_at | date and time | Timestamp when record was last updated |
| id | text | Stable unique identifier for this row — the last column of every export. Use it to deduplicate, to key an incremental load, or to reference one specific row. It is additive: the entity and join keys you already use (race_id, horse_id, and the like) are unchanged. |
