Bodyguard in Hong Kong


Discreet harbour-city protection.
Asia's financial gateway

Hong Kong concentrates finance, commerce and wealth around Central, the Peak and the residences of Repulse Bay, drawing executives, financiers and ultra-high-net-worth families through one of the world's densest cities.

Enquire
Hong Kong Licensing (Cap. 460)

Why protection in Hong Kong must be licensed.

In Hong Kong, the Security and Guarding Services Ordinance (Cap. 460) requires every operative to hold a Security Personnel Permit (SPP), with companies licensed by the Security and Guarding Services Industry Authority. Private protection is unarmed.

Algoz coordinates protection in Hong Kong exclusively through this licensed framework, with every operative permitted, NDA-bound and discreet. See how our close protection works, add concierge and secure transport, or extend across Singapore and Tokyo.

Indicative Investment

What protection in Hong Kong costs.

As a guide, professional close protection in this market is, in 2026, typically from around USD 500 per day for a single principal on twelve-hour cover, with the final rate confirmed on enquiry and no obligation. Specialist profiles, armed or armoured requirements, short-notice mobilisation and peak season carry a premium.

Good to Know

Bodyguard in Hong Kong - Frequently Asked Questions

Why use Algoz rather than hiring a local security agency in Hong Kong directly?

Because vetting an unknown local security agency in Hong Kong yourself is where the real risk lies. Standards, licensing and discipline vary widely between firms, and a principal cannot tell a properly licensed, reliable operator from an underqualified one until something goes wrong in the field, when it is already too late. Algoz knows the Hong Kong market in Hong Kong: we have already worked with these providers, vetted them and kept only the best. Engage us and we select the right team for your profile, brief them under NDA and supervise them closely against our own standard throughout - so you gain genuine local knowledge and full licensing without gambling on an untested agency. One accountable point of contact owns the outcome, and you are never left managing an unfamiliar vendor in a foreign city.

Is it legal to hire a bodyguard in Hong Kong, and do they need a permit?

Yes. Under the Security and Guarding Services Ordinance (Cap. 460), operatives must hold a Security Personnel Permit (SPP) and protection is unarmed. Algoz coordinates only permitted officers, with Cantonese, Mandarin and English coordination.

Do you provide discreet close protection in Hong Kong?

Yes. Licensed officers cover business districts, residences, shopping and events for visiting executives and families, with Mandarin, Cantonese and English coordination and fully NDA-backed delivery.

Do you provide executive protection for financial visits?

Yes. We arrange confidential cover for boardroom visits, investor meetings and executive movement across Central, coordinating timing and routing discreetly.

Can you provide residential security on the Peak or Repulse Bay?

Yes. We arrange residential cover and access control across the Peak, Repulse Bay and other districts, including overnight presence on request.

Can you coordinate harbour and marina movement?

Yes. For harbour crossings and marina-based clients, we manage access, tender logistics and crew liaison alongside land-based protection.

Are your operatives licensed in Hong Kong?

Yes. All operational execution is carried out by partners holding the required Hong Kong private-security licensing, fluent in Cantonese, Mandarin and English.

Can the client choose the bodyguard they prefer?

In many cases, yes. Given sufficient notice, and provided the request can be accommodated without compromising safety, the client may select the profile of the operative, and in most engagements is offered this choice. It cannot, however, override our professional security assessment, which always takes precedence.
