Document background
The Reseller Authorization Letter is a crucial document in Hong Kong's business ecosystem, particularly in distribution and retail sectors. It is typically used when a manufacturer, brand owner, or principal company wants to formally authorize another business entity to resell their products or services. The document provides official recognition of the reseller relationship while establishing basic parameters for the business arrangement. Under Hong Kong law, this document serves as a formal authorization that can be presented to customers, suppliers, and regulatory authorities to demonstrate the legitimacy of the reseller's status. The letter typically includes essential elements such as the scope of authorization, territory restrictions, basic terms of operation, and intellectual property usage rights, while remaining simpler and more concise than a full reseller agreement. It's particularly valuable in Hong Kong's dynamic trading environment, where businesses often need to quickly establish and verify authorized distribution channels.
