Service snapshot
What this service covers
A quick view of the main support included.
Best for
The Trade and Industry Department states that the SME Export Marketing Fund (EMF) has already been consolidated into the BUD Fund with effect from 1 July 2026. Enterprises with historical EMF matters may still need organized financial evidence for follow-up, reimbursement, final payment, or supplementary document requests. Aries CPA & Co. helps Hong Kong enterprises review audited accounts, financial reports, tax records, bank records, receipts, invoices, contracts, quotations, payment evidence, and schedules so the document package is clear before professional review or submission.
- Current EMF Position
- We help clients understand whether a matter belongs to legacy EMF follow-up or should now be considered under BUD Fund channels.
- CPA and Audit Evidence
- Support for audited accounts, financial reports, tax returns, bank statements, and schedules used to evidence Hong Kong operations.
- Claim Package Review
- Practical checking of invoices, receipts, contracts, quotations, payer details, activity records, and payment trails.
Next step
Our professional team can help review your EMF records, prepare financial evidence, and organize CPA or audit documentation for follow-up or BUD transition planning.

Is EMF still open after 1 July 2026?
As checked on 20 August 2026, eligible EMF promotion activities had to be completed by 30 June 2026. Although the 60-day application period nominally ends on 29 August 2026, that date is a Saturday, and TID requires applications whose deadline falls on a non-working day to be received by the nearest preceding working day. Applicants should therefore ensure receipt by Friday, 28 August 2026. Acceptance and processing remain subject to Trade and Industry Department requirements. New funding enquiries should be checked against the current BUD Fund route.
Does EMF require a CPA report?
Not every EMF application requires a separate CPA report. The official guide says TID may request supporting documents such as audited accounts, financial reports, monthly bank statements, Profits Tax Returns, tax assessments, and other records to confirm substantive business operations or assess a claim. We help prepare and review those CPA and financial evidence records.
What documents are usually needed for EMF follow-up?
Common records include Business Registration documents, Annual Return or incorporation documents, invoices, receipts, contracts, quotations, payment proof, bank statements, activity evidence, screenshots, UAT reports for website or app projects, tax filings, and audited accounts where applicable.
Can you help with EMF website or mobile app claims?
Yes. We can review quotations, contracts, service breakdowns, screenshots, domain or app publisher records, UAT reports, payment records, and the applicant company information shown on the website or app.
Can Aries CPA & Co. guarantee EMF or BUD approval?
No. Approval, reimbursement, final payment, and document acceptance are determined by the relevant government or scheme administrator. Our role is to provide CPA, accounting, audit, and documentation support.
Can you work with our funding consultant or internal team?
Yes. We can coordinate with business owners, finance staff, funding consultants, website vendors, and other advisers to prepare a consistent financial evidence package.
