INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS SETUP · INDIA

Company Incorporation in Singapore

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.

ANSWERS BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Your questions,
answered.

Need help with your specific situation?

Talk to our team
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.

References: ACRA: register a business

Is a resident director required?

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.

References: ACRA: registering a local company

When is a company secretary appointed?

ACRA's after-registration guidance states that the secretary must be appointed within six months after incorporation. Obtain a company-specific handover plan.

References: ACRA: after registering a local company

Is a branch the same as a subsidiary?

No. ACRA has a distinct foreign-company branch registration route. Compare legal and tax consequences before choosing it.

References: ACRA: foreign company branch

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.

Corporate service providerForeigners without Singpass must engage a registered corporate service provider to submit the application.Verify the provider and its exact appointment and fees.
After incorporationSecretary, 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

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
