Director resignation pack
A clean exit needs two documents — the outgoing director’s resignation letter and a board resolution accepting it — followed by Form ND2A filed within 15 days. Generate both, ready to sign.
How a director resigns
A director resigns by giving written notice to the company (check your articles for any special notice requirements). The remaining board notes and accepts the resignation, updates the register of directors, and files Form ND2A with the Companies Registry within 15 days. If the company fails to file, the resigning director can protect themselves by filing Form ND4 directly under section 645 of the Companies Ordinance.
A Hong Kong private company must always have at least one director who is a natural person — this tool assumes at least one director remains after the resignation. If the sole director is leaving, a replacement must be appointed first: appoint a director.

Board changes rarely travel alone. If this resignation is part of a bigger restructuring — sale, new investor, redomiciliation — we can handle the whole sequence: resolutions, filings, registers and bank mandate updates.
After you sign
- The resigning director signs the letter; the remaining directors sign the resolutions.
- File Form ND2A with the Companies Registry within 15 days of the effective date, and update the register of directors.
- Housekeeping: remove the outgoing director from bank mandates, and check whether they were also the significant controllers register’s designated representative.
If the company doesn’t file: the resigning director can file Form ND4 with the Registry directly (section 645, Companies Ordinance) so the public record shows the resignation — useful when leaving a company you don’t control.
