Key takeaways

You pay the same S$315 to the government either way. The price you compare is the provider’s service fee on top, not the ACRA fee, so judge the providers on what is bundled, not the headline number.
Sleek wins on transparency and speed. Prices are published, packages are fixed, and incorporation runs in 1 to 3 days through a single platform that also covers corporate secretary, accounting and banking.
InCorp Asia wins on scope for complex needs. If you need fund administration, a VCC, transfer pricing, statutory audit, or a presence across several Asian markets, InCorp’s broader advisory stack is a genuine advantage.
Switching is normal and low-friction. Moving your corporate secretary and company registers from InCorp Asia to Sleek is a routine handover that usually takes a few working days, with no disruption to your ACRA standing.

Discover the Sleek difference

In a Minute

In this article

Both Sleek and InCorp Asia can incorporate your Singapore company for the same S$315 in ACRA fees, appoint your resident director, and handle the company secretary you must put in place within six months. The real difference is how they package it: Sleek publishes fixed, all-in prices online (local incorporation from around S$650 and foreign-founder packages from around S$2,250) and runs everything on one software platform, while InCorp Asia is a quote-based advisory firm built for larger and more complex cross-border structures.

Quick answer

Government cost (identical for both): S$315 to ACRA, plus S$60 a year to file your annual return.
Sleek: Transparent online pricing, fast setup, one dashboard for incorporation, corporate secretary, accounting and banking. Best for founders who want it all bundled.
InCorp Asia: Consultation and quote-based. Best for complex, regulated, fund, or multi-country structures.
Timeline: 1 to 3 working days to incorporate once your name is approved and documents are ready.

Sleek vs InCorp Asia: The quick verdict

If you have shortlisted these two incorporation service providers in Singapore and want to stop researching and decide, here is the honest side-by-side. The table below is the whole comparison in one screen. Each section after it defends one row with specifics.

Feature	Sleek	InCorp Asia
Incorporation package price	Published online. Local from ~S$650, foreign founders from ~S$2,250 (verify on pricing page)	Quote-based. Price provided after consultation via the business cost calculator or sales team
What is bundled	ACRA filing, company secretary (year 1), registered address, dashboard access; nominee director on foreign-founder plans	Tailored per quote. Incorporation handled by dedicated consultants; add-ons scoped individually
Corporate secretary included	Yes, from S$350/year as a standalone or bundled	Yes, offered as a separate secretarial and compliance service
Accounting and Xero integration	Yes, in-platform bookkeeping and Xero support	Yes, dedicated accounting and Xero integration service
Nominee director	Yes, for foreign founders who need a resident director	Yes, resident or nominee director arranged on request
Registered address	Yes, included or as a digital mailroom add-on	Yes, available as a service
Banking and multi-currency	Sleek Business Account, free to open, plus partner bank introductions	Bank account opening assistance through partner banks
Software platform	Single dashboard for incorporation, secretary, accounting and banking	Advisory-led; portal access varies by service
Migration support for switchers	Positioned around seamless transfer with a dedicated migration contact	Available on request; not published as a productised flow
Typical response time	Advisor support during setup; in-platform messaging after	Advisor responds within about one business day after enquiry

The government layer costs S$315 for both providers. Sleek shows fixed package prices publicly (local from roughly S$650, foreign founders from roughly S$2,250), while InCorp Asia gives you a custom quote after a consultation. Sleek leans on one platform and speed; InCorp leans on bespoke advisory scope.

How much does it cost to incorporate with Sleek vs InCorp Asia?

Cost is the single most common question founders ask before they incorporate, so let us put the real numbers on the page rather than send you elsewhere.

The fixed, non-negotiable part is the same for everyone. ACRA charges S$15 to reserve your company name and S$300 to register the company, for a total of S$315 (source: ACRA). After that, a private limited company pays S$60 a year to file its annual return.

Where the two providers differ is the service fee on top:

Sleek publishes its prices. Local incorporation starts at around S$650, and foreign-founder packages start at around S$2,250 because they include the resident director requirement (verify the current figures on the pricing page before relying on them). Corporate secretary services start at S$350 a year.
InCorp Asia does not publish a flat incorporation price. You request a quote through their cost calculator or speak to a consultant, and the figure depends on the scope you need. This suits complex setups, but it means you cannot compare a like-for-like number online.

Both providers pass on the same S$315 ACRA fee and the same S$60 annual return fee. On top of that, Sleek’s local plans start near S$650 and foreign-founder plans near S$2,250, all shown upfront, whereas InCorp Asia quotes per project after a consultation.

Sleek vs InCorp Asia: Corporate secretary and compliance

Both firms must be ACRA-registered filing agents to act as your company secretary, which is the legal safeguard against unqualified or “sham” secretaries. Both keep your registers current, file changes with ACRA, prepare and lodge your annual return, and track statutory deadlines. The difference is how the service is packaged and priced.

Sleek publishes corporate secretary services from S$350 a year and runs everything through one dashboard with unlimited company updates on its plans. InCorp Asia delivers the same statutory work through a named account team as part of a custom-scoped engagement.

Sleek vs InCorp Asia: Accounting, banking and other services

Where these two genuinely diverge is the service stack beyond setup. Sleek bundles day-to-day finance and banking onto one platform; InCorp Asia offers a wider menu of specialist advisory lines.

Service area	Sleek	InCorp Asia
Accounting and bookkeeping	In-platform, with Xero support	Dedicated accounting team, with Xero integration
Business banking	Sleek Business Account, free to open (MAS-licensed)	Bank account opening assistance via partners
Tax and GST	Included in the platform	Full taxation advisory line
Payroll and HR	Yes	Yes, plus HRaaS and PEO
Statutory audit	Coordinated	In-house statutory audit line
Funds, VCC, family office	Not a focus	Dedicated specialist line
Transfer pricing	Not a focus	Dedicated specialist line
Immigration and work passes	Yes	Yes
Software platform	Single dashboard across all services	Advisory-led; portals vary by service

For everyday founder needs (incorporation, secretary, accounting, banking), Sleek keeps it all in one login with the bank account built in. For specialist or regulated needs (funds, VCC, transfer pricing, in-house audit, PEO), InCorp Asia carries lines Sleek does not focus on. Pick based on whether you want one simple platform or a wide advisory menu.

Sleek Trustpilot review for Accounting services

Sleek vs InCorp Asia: Reviews, ratings and trust

Both are well-regarded, established Singapore providers. They earn trust differently: Sleek through high-volume public review scores and B-Corp certification, InCorp Asia through scale, longevity and institutional backing.

Trust signal	Sleek	InCorp Asia
Founded	2017	2015
Reputation basis	Public review scores, B-Corp status	Scale, longevity, top-3 SG positioning
Trustpilot	4.4 / 5	Not prominently published
B-Corp certified	Yes	No
Customer satisfaction	97% CSAT reported	Not publicly published
Institutional backing	VC-backed (White Star, Jungle Ventures, EDBI)	Hillhouse-backed

Sleek leans on transparent, public proof: a 4.4 Trustpilot score, a reported 97% CSAT, and B-Corp certification. InCorp Asia leans on being one of Singapore’s larger, longer-established providers with deep institutional backing. Both are credible; the right signal depends on whether you weigh public reviews or enterprise scale.

What can go wrong if you pick the wrong provider?

This is the part most comparison pages skip, and it matters most. Choosing a provider that drops the ball has real consequences:

Missed ACRA filings. Late annual returns trigger penalties that start from around S$300 and rise the longer they are overdue. Repeated default can lead ACRA to strike the company off the register entirely.
Director liability. Directors, not just the company, can be fined and even disqualified for persistent filing failures.
Unqualified or “sham” secretaries. Using a provider that is not a properly registered filing agent exposes you to compliance and legal risk.
No continuity when you grow. A provider that cannot scale into accounting, tax, or multi-country support forces another disruptive switch later.

Can I switch from InCorp Asia to Sleek?

Yes, and it is more common than founders expect. Switching corporate services providers in Singapore is a routine handover, not a re-incorporation. Your company, your UEN, and your ACRA standing all stay exactly the same.

A typical switch works like this:

You appoint the new provider as your company secretary and registered filing agent.
Your statutory registers, constitution, and past filing records are transferred across.
The outgoing provider is resigned as secretary with ACRA, and the new one is appointed, usually within a few working days.

The main thing to watch is timing around any filing that falls due mid-switch, so confirm your annual return date before you start. Sleek handles this transfer with a dedicated migration contact so there is no gap in your compliance.

The verdict: Which should you choose?

For most founders setting up or running a Singapore company, Sleek is the stronger choice. You get incorporation, resident director support, company secretary, registered address, accounting, and a free-to-open Sleek Business Account in one platform, at a fixed price you can see before you commit. No quote to chase, no surprise add-ons, no juggling separate providers as you grow. That is why more than 450,000 businesses have chosen Sleek, and why founders switching from other providers consistently cite the transparent pricing and the single dashboard.

Choose InCorp Asia instead if your needs are genuinely complex: a fund structure, a VCC, transfer pricing, or an in-house statutory audit across several Asian markets. For that bespoke, advisory-heavy work, their broader stack earns its quote.

But if you are a local founder, a foreign founder, or a funded startup that wants to incorporate fast, stay compliant, and keep everything in one place, the decision is simple.

FAQs: Sleek vs InCorp Asia

How much does it cost to incorporate in Singapore with Sleek vs InCorp Asia?

The government cost is identical: S$315 to ACRA (S$15 name plus S$300 registration), then S$60 a year for the annual return. Sleek adds a published service fee, with local plans from around S$650 and foreign-founder plans from around S$2,250. InCorp Asia provides a custom quote after a consultation rather than a published flat price.

Is InCorp Asia better than Sleek?

Neither is “better” in the abstract. InCorp Asia is the stronger fit for complex, regulated, or multi-country structures such as funds, VCCs, and family offices. Sleek is the stronger fit for local and foreign founders who want transparent pricing, fast setup, and incorporation, secretary, accounting and banking in one platform.

Can I switch my corporate secretary from InCorp Asia to Sleek?

Yes. You appoint Sleek as your registered filing agent and company secretary, your registers and records transfer over, and the previous provider is resigned with ACRA. It usually takes a few working days and does not affect your UEN or ACRA standing. Confirm your annual return date before starting so nothing falls due mid-switch.

Is Sleek or InCorp Asia cheaper for incorporating in Singapore?

On the government side, they cost the same: S$315 to ACRA either way. On service fees, Sleek is usually cheaper and clearer for standard setups because it publishes fixed prices (local from around S$650, foreign founders from around S$2,250). InCorp Asia gives a custom quote after a consultation, so the cost depends on your scope and is not shown upfront. For a straightforward local or foreign company, Sleek is typically the lower and more predictable option.
