Company incorporation in Singapore

We check that the company name you’ve chosen is available. You send us your IC or passport copy, details on directors and shareholders. We prepare all the necessary documents, send them to you for electronic signature, and submit them to ACRA (a government entity that registers companies). On your end, it’s just a message thread in a secure chat. Once a UEN has been issued, your company is operational.

Yes, all Singaporean companies must have a local registered address. It goes on all legal documents. If you don’t have an office address, use our service. We handle your incoming letters, scan and store them in your East river account so you have easy access to all your documents.

A nominee formally holds a director’s position, without any actual decision-making powers or authority to run the company. His only obligations are to act in the interests of the company and in compliance with the law.

Your company can have as many directors as you want, but at least one needs to be local. If you do not have someone who can play the role, hire a nominee director. For example, there can be two directors: you and the nominee. If you apply for Employment Pass from your new company, you only need the nominee service while you’re waiting for it (about six months). After that, you can be the only director.

It’s a type of working visa issued per specific company to invite foreign professionals, managers, executives, and technicians. It allows you to work exclusively for that company, live and bring your family to Singapore. It’s valid for 1 or 2 years. You can renew it afterwards.

No, EPs/DPs are issued per one specific company. You can only work for the employer that sponsors your visa. So after you’ve incorporated, your new business has to apply for your new EP. Do it seamlessly: there’s no need to cancel your old EP before getting the new one.

Once all the documents are ready, it usually takes us less than an hour to register a company. It mostly depends on when you are comfortable providing all the details and the authorities’ service hours. Our record stands at 38 minutes, and we keep getting better.

Sure. There’s a special type of visa called Employment Pass you can receive within about six months. To qualify you have to pay yourself a salary of about S$6,000, especially if you plan to bring family under Dependants’ Passes.

It’s an employment visa, so your professional qualities and fit with the company will be evaluated. We will file your CV with relevant professional experience, education data and the company profile to get the visa. The most important factor is your fixed salary amount that the company commits to paying you. It needs to be no less than S$6,000, especially if you want to bring immediate family under Dependants’ Passes.

Located in Southeast Asia, Singapore gives you access to the expanding markets of the Asia-Pacific region. The taxes are low, the quality of life is high, and the legislation favours foreign businesses.

OK, here is a little guide on how to prepare for using a company formation service in Singapore. There are things to decide on before submitting the papers, let us go through them:

• You need to choose a company name, which we send to ACRA for approval.
• You need a paid-up capital; $S1 is enough.
• Setting up a Singapore company requires a local address: a real place in the city-state to receive official letters. If you don’t have one, you can use ours. We notify you about any correspondence, scan, and send it to you.
• You must find a Corporate Secretary: a person certified under various regulations responsible for lodging and filing in time all necessary documents required by law. You can choose between the Essential and Unlimited packages: the former covers the regular activities, such as Annual General Meeting preparation, and the latter includes all and any resolutions such as change of directors, company address, share structure, etc.
• You provide the list of directors, their IDs and contact data. A foreigner can’t run a business in Singapore if his company has no resident directors. Hiring a local nominee solves the problem. Having him, you can become a director yourself or appoint another executive from abroad.
• You decide on the share structure and send us the list of the shareholders. There can be 1–50, both individuals or companies.
• We use all the information you provide to design your company’s Constitution.

We’ll ask you for this information:

• Company name
• Directors’ particulars
• Shareholders’ particulars

We’ll provide the following:

• Corporate Secretary particulars
• Nominee Director particulars (if required)
• Local address (if required)
• Company Constitution

Once all the documents are ready, it usually takes less than an hour to incorporate a Singapore company. It mostly depends on when you are comfortable providing all the details and the authorities’ service hours. Our record stands at 38 minutes, and we keep getting better.
