FAQ
How to choose a company name in Singapore?
The key factor here is the business name availability. In Singapore, two companies can’t bear the same name. So you have to come up with a unique word or word combination. For a more detailed guide to select your Singapore company name, see our article 6 Steps to Starting a Business in Singapore.
When can a company register identical names?
Unfortunately, this isn’t possible. However, if your desired name is taken, you may try extending it by adding words, e.g. instead of "East river" you may try "East river Super Robotics".
How to reserve a company name?
Having chosen a name, you should file a name application with ACRA – the governing body of all companies in Singapore – or have your filing agent do that for you. At East river, the company name validation is included in all the incorporation packages.
