Singapore company registration is administered by ACRA. Foreign applicants generally need to engage a registered corporate service provider, while a local company needs at least one ordinarily resident director and must maintain its required local appointments. LIQUETAX can organise founder information and coordinate an agreed handoff; it is not presented as a Singapore-registered filing agent.

Can a foreigner register a Singapore company directly?+
ACRA says foreigners must engage a registered corporate service provider to submit the registration. The provider should confirm the current identity, due-diligence and appointment requirements.
ACRA's local-company guidance requires at least one director who is ordinarily resident in Singapore. Confirm who will perform that role and their duties.
ACRA's after-registration guidance states that the secretary must be appointed within six months after incorporation. Obtain a company-specific handover plan.
Does LIQUETAX provide the local regulated appointment?+
No such representation is made. The quote must identify the Singapore-registered provider and each locally regulated service.
Are banking and work passes included?+
Only an itemised written scope can include coordination. Incorporation does not guarantee either approval.

Question
What matters
Next step
Company or branch
ACRA provides separate local-company and foreign-company branch routes.
Compare liability, ownership, tax and reporting with Singapore advice.
Local director
A local company needs at least one ordinarily resident director.
Confirm eligibility, consent and substantive governance rather than using an unexplained nominee.
Corporate service provider
Foreigners without Singpass must engage a registered corporate service provider to submit the application.
Verify the provider and its exact appointment and fees.
After incorporation
Secretary, registered office, registers, tax and possible auditor actions continue after registration.
The incorporation notice is not the end of the compliance plan.
Fee details, estimates & quote variables
₹5,000. Professional fee. Applicable GST, government charges and agreed third-party costs are extra.
One specified service engagement. Confirm the applicant, deliverables and exclusions in writing before work starts.
ACRA charges and corporate-service-provider, secretary, address, nominee, certification and other Singapore costs are external. Ask for a written split by provider and deliverable; public marketing is not a binding all-in quotation.
Local company versus branch
Officer, shareholder and parent-company profile
Registered provider, secretary and address arrangements
Certification, licensing and optional aftercare
Name, due-diligence, document and ACRA processing times vary, and referrals or regulated activities can add review. Treat only the appointed provider's dated plan as the working timeline.
