Anyone can file your papers. Here's what actually happens when you incorporate with us — and why each step matters.
A Singapore citizen, PR or eligible pass holder who actually lives here. A PR who has moved overseas doesn't count.
Don't have one? Talk to us about your options — every case is screened before we say yes.A real Singapore address, residential or commercial. A PO box is not allowed, and a home address has its own rules.
Nothing yet? Use our Peninsula Plaza office as your registered address.Appointed within six months of incorporation, and the seat can never sit empty. Miss a filing and the director pays.
That's us — and we message you all year, not once a year.The ACRA filing itself is fast — often approved within a day. What sets the pace is the due diligence before it, and the meeting in between. Six steps; tap any one to see what you bring, what we handle, and how long it usually takes.
Ask anything, business or compliance, anytime. No ticketing, no waiting.
LET'S TALK IT THROUGH →Anyone can file your papers. The real value is knowing what trips people up after — and telling you the truth up front.
Incorporating is the easy part. Opening a Singapore corporate bank account is where many get stuck. Without genuine local substance — real activity, proper structure, a credible presence — the banks will turn you away, no matter how clean your paperwork. We'll tell you straight whether you're ready — before you waste time and money.
Incorporation is a one-time fee. A live company has ongoing obligations — corporate secretary, annual returns, tax filing, accounting. Many budget for day one and get blindsided in year one. We lay out the true annual cost upfront, so there are no surprises.
Appoint us as your corporate secretary and we pull you into a private WhatsApp group — a direct line to our team. Ask anything, business or compliance, anytime. No ticketing, no waiting. Your business, our business.
A lot of new directors believe Singapore start-ups pay zero tax for three years. Not true. There's a partial exemption on early profits — but only if you qualify and file correctly, and it tapers as you grow. We make sure you claim every bit you're entitled to, and don't get caught out assuming it's free.
We check availability and reserve your company name with ACRA.
Preparation of your constitution (formerly M&AA), tailored to your company.
Complete filing and registration with the Accounting & Corporate Regulatory Authority.
Your official ACRA business profile upon successful incorporation.
Appointment of first directors, secretary, auditors and share allotment.
Issue of share certificates to your initial shareholders.
SSIC codes, financial year-end, nominee directors, secretary appointment deadlines, first-year tax exemptions, annual filings — there's too much riding on it to settle in a few lines on a webpage.
We don't just incorporate your company — we help you anchor the direction of your business from day one.
Your SSIC code tells ACRA what your company actually does — and it ripples further than people expect. The wrong code can affect how your corporate tax is assessed (trade vs non-trade), your eligibility and quota for hiring foreign staff, and whether you need specific licences to operate. We help you pick the right code from the start.
Yes — every Singapore company needs at least one director who is ordinarily resident in Singapore (citizen, PR, or an eligible pass holder). If none of your owners qualify, we can arrange a nominee director.
Within 6 months of incorporation — it’s a legal requirement, not optional. The role can’t sit empty. We act as your corporate secretary and keep you compliant from day one.
With all documents ready, a straightforward Singapore Pte Ltd can be incorporated in as little as 1–2 business days — name reservation, constitution and ACRA filing included. Complex structures may take a little longer, and we’ll tell you upfront.
ID copies of all directors and shareholders, proof of residential address, your proposed company name, and share capital details. We’ll guide you through exactly what’s needed.
Yes — Singapore allows 100% foreign ownership for most business activities, with no local shareholder requirement. You’ll still need a local resident director, which we can help arrange.
The minimum paid-up capital is just S$1, and you can increase it anytime. Note that a very low capital can affect how banks, landlords and work-pass applications view your company — we’ll advise on a sensible figure for your goals.
