What is the difference between a Director and a Shareholder?

Shareholders own the company and are entitled to the profits of the company. Directors are appointed to manage and run the company, dealing with the day to day business activities and make decisions.

How do you incorporate a company in Singapore?

To incorporate a company in Singapore, you’ll need to obtain the following requirements:

  • Company name
  • Company’s principal activities
  • Name of directors and shareholders
  • Office address
  • Share capital
  • Constitutional documents
  • Other supporting documents
  • Singpass

Once you have prepared the documents, you need to register your company with ACRA via their Bizfile website. On the website, you will find the eServices menu. Click the tab and look for “Local Company.” Afterwards, click “Start a New Local Company.” Finally, click “Application for New Company Name.” You need to submit the application form in order to complete the incorporation process.

This can take a few hours. In cases where you need to be transferred to another department, it might take up to 14 to 22 days.

What is an incorporated company?

An incorporated company is any business entity that has been registered under the Companies Act in Singapore. The law recognizes it as a separate legal entity from its owners.

There are different types of incorporated companies in Singapore, such as the sole proprietorship, limited partnership, or private limited company. Among these, the most popular company structure is the private limited company.

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

To verify if a company is registered in ACRA, first, you need to visit their bizfile. Then, on the search bar, type the name of the company you wish to check. ACRA will explore their existing database and present you with results that match your search.

The results will provide you with the following information:
● Company name
● Unique Entity Number (UEN)
● Company status
● Address
● Industry
● Compliance rating

You can even get their business profile and other documents for an additional fee.

Can a private limited company have only one director?

Yes, a private limited company in Singapore can have one director, but the appointed individual must be a resident of Singapore.

While one director is the minimum requirement for corporate entities, the state law does not specify a maximum number of directors allowed. So, you and your shareholders can appoint as many directors as you want to run your business.

Do I need to be present during the company incorporation process?

No, you do not need to be present when incorporating a company in Singapore. We can complete the whole process online or via e-mail without your presence as long as we receive all original signed required documents from you.

Do I need a registered address in Singapore for my company?

For each Singapore incorporated entity, there is a statutory requirement to have a Singapore based registered address. The registered address must be a physical address (not a PO Box) where company records are kept and where official correspondence can be sent and received.

It is not a requirement that office space must be leased and the use of our Registered Office Address services is permitted.

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

We can have your company approved by and registered with the Accounting Corporate Regulatory Authority within 1 working day once the incorporation documents have been duly signed and payment of the company incorporation fees has been made.

We would like to incorporate a company in Singapore but we do not meet the local Director requirements. Can you advice on dealing with the requirement of having local Director?

There are several options you may consider.

• If relocation to Singapore is part of your plan, then you can act as the local Director subject to the approval of your Entrepreneur Pass or Employment Pass.
• We also provide nominee director service to help you meet the local Director requirement.
• You may also choose to appoint a local employee or someone you know in Singapore to act as the local Director.

What is private limited company in Singapore?

In private companies, the maximum number of shareholders is limited to 50 and the memorandum and constitution restricts the right of its members to transfer their shares in the company. A private company limited by shares can be classified as an exempt private company.

The key characteristics of an exempt private company are:

a) no more than 20 shareholders; and
b) all the shareholders are individuals.

Exempt private companies with annual revenue of less than S$10 Million are exempted from audit requirements and are not required to file financial statements with the ACRA.

Do I need to open a corporate bank account in Singapore?

Opening a corporate bank account is mandatory for Singapore incorporated companies. The presence of the company’s directors is required.

What is the incorporation date of the company?

The company’s incorporation date is when all the documents have been submitted to and approved by ACRA. You can find the date of company incorporation by going through ACRA’s registered company list. By using the company search tool or visiting the company’s business profile, you will find the company’s basic information, including the name, registration number, status, and address. 

To get additional information such as business type, company’s date of incorporation, and name and position of business owners, you will need to buy the business entity’s profile.

How much does it cost to incorporate a company?

The administrative fee to incorporate a company in Singapore costs a total of S$315. S$300 for the registration fee and S$15 for the company name reservation. However, the price can go up if you require other services. 

For example, if you want to convert your company type to another structure, you will be required to pay an additional S$40. Other additional services might include company secretarial services, accounting, and filing, which can reach up to S$500 to $1,500, depending on the required scope of work.

What is UEN, and why do I need it for my company in Singapore?

A UEN stands for the Unique Entity Number, previously known as Singapore’s company registration number. It essentially works as the company’s identification and is composed of 9 to 10 digits which ACRA issues.

As the unique entity number, it works as a tool to conveniently interact with several government agencies and engage in corporate activities, like filing corporate tax returns and applying for permits. In other words, it’s the only identification you need to perform all types of transactions pertaining to your business.

ACRA grants you a UEN number upon company registration. But if you want to request a special UEN number, you can do so for an additional cost.

Why should I register as a limited company?

Many business owners lean towards a limited company structure because of the benefits it offers. For one, it limits the liabilities of the shareholders, so when debts, financial incidents, and legal matters arise, the law recognises the limited company as a separate entity from its owners, thereby protecting from the consequences of the business.

Another reason is its easy process of transferring shares and changing shareholders. In instances where resignation, insolvency, or death of shareholders occur, a limited company ensures the company’s succession.

Other reasons to consider a limited company structure include:
● Ease of increasing capital
● Establishing a credible image
● Tax incentives and benefits
