I like that I can just post my questions to chat any time of the day, quite unlike having to remember to call within business hours only. For a startup owner working irregular hours, this helps.

Q&A
What do I need to open a company?
You need to have a local address that you will use to receive official mail, and a corporate secretary. One of the directors has to be a Singapore resident. So if you don’t plan to be a director yourself, you’ll need someone else. Paid-up capital can be $1.
What are the steps?
We check that the name you’ve chosen for your business is available. Do it straight away, when searching on our webpage. To register your company, we’ll need you to check in via MyInfo or send us an IC or passport copy. We also collect details on directors and shareholders, as well as your registered address.
We prepare the Constitution, consent to act as a director and an incorporation application. We send them for you to sign digitally and then submit to ACRA. Once a UEN has been issued, we upload Bizfile to your account.
What is your timeline?
Once we get all the data from you, we can set up a company within an hour. It also depends on the service hours of the authorities: they don’t register in the evenings or on weekends.
What can I use as a registered address?
All Singaporean companies must have a local address to use for official mail. If you don’t have an office, use our service. We collect your correspondence, scan and send them to you. You can also use your home address, but that might be subject to official approval.
Do I need a Company Secretary?
A corporate secretary is in charge of compliance reporting: maintaining registers, submitting changes to ACRA, and processing standard filings. Every company in Singapore must appoint one within 6 months after incorporation.
Can I become a director?
Yes, if you are above 18 years old, whether you are a Singapore local or a foreigner. You can have as many directors as you want, or it could be just you.
Who is eligible to apply for a business account with OCBC?
Any entity registered with ACRA. Account opening is subject to approval by OCBC Bank.
Who is eligible to open the business account entirely online?
Instant account opening is available for Singapore incorporated companies (a) owned only by one or two Singaporeans and PRs and (b) opening their first OCBC Business Banking Account. Account opening is subject to approval by OCBC Bank. For others, you can still incorporate your company through East river and follow the onscreen instructions and we will follow up with you on your application.
How much time does it take to open a business account online?
A Business Growth Account is opened instantly if you apply online with MyInfo (login via SingPass), MyInfoBiz (login via Corppass) or your OCBC Personal Banking credentials (if you are an existing OCBC Personal banking customer).
My company will have more than two shareholders. Who needs to be present for account opening?
Unless otherwise is specified in Board Resolution, we expect to meet with either of two Directors. They’ll need to have their NRIC or Passports with them.
