Every company must appoint a Company Secretary who resides in Singapore. This individual will help to prepare and file all necessary documentation to keep the Singapore company compliant. If someone is a sole director, they cannot also be the Corporate Secretary for the company.

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

What types of company structures are available for company incorporation 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.

Read here for difference between Pte Ltd vs LLP.

Why should you incorporate a Singapore Private Limited company?

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)

Read here on how to set up a private limited company in Singapore.

How can I decide on the ownership structure of my company?

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.

How much share capital do I need?

You only need $1 paid-up capital for your Singapore company incorporation, in any currency. The share capital can be increased any time after your company incorporation.

How many shareholders do I need?

To incorporate your Singapore company, you can have 1-50 shareholders. A shareholder can either be an individual or a corporate entity (also sometimes known as a “corporate shareholder”).

What is a corporate shareholder and do I need one?

A corporate shareholder is a business entity that owns shares in another limited company. The term ‘corporate shareholder’ may refer to another limited company, a limited liability partnership llp or a non-profit organisation or charity.

Who can I appoint as the director of my Singapore company?

You can appoint 1 or more directors for your company. Every company needs at least one local resident director (a Singapore Citizen or a Permanent Resident).

If they are Singapore citizens and/or Permanent Residents (PR), they have to be individuals, and at least 18 years old.

If he or she is not a Singapore resident and wishes to fulfil the local resident requirements, the director must have a valid EntrePass or Employment Pass, and have a Letter of Consent (LOC) from Singapore’s Ministry of Manpower (MOM) to act as a Director (if applicable).

How do I check if a company is registered in Singapore?

It is super easy to check whether or not a company is registered in Singapore. Head to ACRA’s search platform and type in the company name that you would like to check. Right after that, if the company is registered, you will get the company’s information that would include – company name, office address, Unique Entity Number (UEN) and more.

How do I reserve a company name with ACRA?

A company name can be reserved via ACRA’s portal. After the name application has been approved, the name will be reserved for 120 days straight. If you do not register the company or incorporate the company within these 120 days, the name will no longer be reserved and will be made available to other members of the public. If you have reserved a company name you can share the reference number with your Corporate Secretary to use at time of incorporation.

What documents do I need to prepare to incorporate my company?

Are you an individual starting a company?

It can be as easy as providing your passport and proof of residency that’s less than 3 months old.

Are you an existing company looking to have a Singapore entity?

Certificate of Incorporation/Registration
Business Profile/Certificate of Incumbency
Group ownership structure chart
Certificate of Appointment of Corporate Representative and/or Directors’ Resolution in Writing authorising the representative

What are the typical pre-incorporation documentation that will need to be signed?

Company Constitution – to be signed by all shareholders
Form 45 Consent to Act as a Director – to be signed by all directors
Form 45B Consent to Act as Secretary – to be signed by us as your Company Secretary
Nominee Director Service Deed
First Directors Board Resolution – to be signed by all directors (without FYE listed)*

How long does it take to incorporate a company in Singapore?

The application process in Singapore typically takes 1-2 working days, provided all necessary documents are in place.

However, the processing time may be longer if there are any issues or errors with the application or if additional information is required. It’s worth noting that the timeline for the Singapore company incorporation process can also depend on the type of company being incorporated and the specific requirements involved. It might take a company with foreign shareholders or directors longer to incorporate due to additional compliance requirements. It’s recommended to seek professional advice from a company incorporation expert to ensure a smooth and efficient process.

What do I need to provide in order to incorporate my company in Singapore?

In order to incorporate your company in Singapore, you would need to provide:

Your company name for name incorporation
A brief description of your company activities
Details of your shareholders and directors, as well as their KYC (Know Your Customer) information

Gathering all the right information for your company registration could be the trickiest part, get in touch with Sleek if you need any assistance.
