FAQs On Company Registration in Singapore

How to incorporate a company in Singapore?

Incorporating a company in Singapore involves these steps. 

  • Choose a unique name and ensure it complies with regulations. 
  • Appoint directors and a company secretary who must be Singapore residents. Provide a registered office address in Singapore. 
  • Decide on the company’s shareholders and their respective shares. 
  • Submit the incorporation application through BizFile+ to the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA). 
  • Pay the necessary fees and obtain the Certificate of Incorporation once approved. Lastly, complete post-incorporation tasks like opening a corporate bank account and fulfilling tax and regulatory requirements. 

Consider consulting professionals like Sleek for seamless incorporation. With Sleek’s help, you can complete all these steps in as little as one day and start your Singapore company from anywhere in the world, without needing any face-to-face meetings.

Incorporating a company in Singapore as a local is a relatively straightforward process. All you need is the following:

  • At least S$1 paid up capital
  • Local company secretary
  • Singapore-based director
  • A registered address in Singapore

You can choose between the following company structures:

Sole Proprietorship

Sole proprietorship essentially means there are no partners in the company. This means the owner can earn all the profits but also bears higher risk if anything happens. Sole proprietorship is not a separate legal entity from the company owner.

Who can apply:
Singapore citizens or permanent residents, Dependant Pass holders with a valid Letter of Consent (LOC), ONE Pass holders.

Partnership

Who can apply:
Singapore citizens or permanent residents, Dependant Pass holders with a valid Letter of Consent (LOC), ONE Pass holders.

Private Limited Company (Pte Ltd) – most popular structure
Private limited companies have: less than 50 shareholders and their shares should not be accessible to the public. A private limited company has the most flexible company structure. It is a separate legal entity from its shareholders and directors. It enjoys limited liability. We recommend the Pte Ltd structure due to its flexibility, legal protection and accessibility to government grants, funding and tax exemptions.

Who can apply:
Singapore citizens or permanent residents, Dependant Pass holders with a valid Letter of Consent (LOC), Employment Pass holders, EntrePass holders, ONE Pass holders, Personalised Employment Pass holders.

A Private Limited Company is the most scalable, advanced and flexible business structure in Singapore. 

Advantages:

  • A Private Limited Company can be 100% foreign or locally owned. There are no foreign shareholding restrictions. 
  • Not personally liable for any debts or losses. The company is a separate legal entity from its shareholders and directors
  • Profits taxed at corporate tax rates (17%)
  • New companies are entitled to tax incentives and tax exemptions
  • Ownership can be transferred
  • Ease of raising capital

Disadvantages

  • Adherence to compliance requirements set out by the Companies Act and enforced by ACRA and IRAS 
  • Operating costs are higher (administration requirements etc)
  • Directors must disclose their company’s information (interest in company shares, contracts etc)

You would determine the shareholders and their respective ownership percentages by indicating it in your company incorporation documents. If incorporating a subsidiary company in Singapore, the sole shareholder will be the existing local or foreign company. For a new venture, the shareholders will be you and any partners you may have.
