Hong Kong working holiday visas are essentially a breeze to secure – but can you be an independant contractor if you hold one?

QUESTION  OF  THE  WEEK

I am from the UK and have just gained a working holiday visa for Hong Kong.

As I understand it, as a UK citizen, you can work for 12 months and the 3 month limit does not apply for me as it does to most other nationalities.

I have an opportunity to work for a company, but in doing so I am required to register as a sole proprietor and have a business registration certificate.

Is this possible?
