There are 2 ways of forming a limited company in Hong Kong: by either setting up a whole new company or purchasing a ready-made company (or named shelf company).

For case of whole new company, you can specify your preferred company name, but the registration process time is relatively longer. For case of ready-made company, you have to select your company name from a given list which includes never-used shelf company names, but the processing time will be shorter.

Representative office is established by a foreign company to engage in business liaison in the selected country. However, it is not allowed for the office to directly involve in operational activities. In general, a representative office can be set up before an incorporation of limited company, as the first step to enter local market and test the business environment in Hong Kong.
