Every setup is different, but a Singapore private company generally needs these foundations.

Read the official ACRA guide

This summary is general information, not legal or tax advice. Requirements and government fees may change.

01

Local resident director

At least one director must meet Singapore's local residency requirements. Nominee arrangements remain subject to full director duties.

02

Company secretary

A qualified Singapore-resident secretary must be appointed within six months and cannot be the same person as the sole director.

03

Registered office

The company needs a Singapore address that meets ACRA's accessibility requirements for official correspondence and records.

04

Share capital and constitution

A company limited by shares can start with at least S$1 in share capital and must have a company constitution.

Plan a remote setup
Regional business

Create a credible base for customers and partners in Asia.

Start with a structure, activity description and compliance plan suited to a real operating company.

Relocation pathway

Set up now, then transition as your Singapore plans evolve.

Coordinate the company foundation first, with optional work-pass advisory and a planned transition away from nominee support.

Ask PSOI
Can a foreigner own a Singapore company?

Foreign individuals and companies can hold shares in a Singapore company. The company must still meet local requirements, including having at least one director who meets Singapore's residency rules.

How long does incorporation take?

Straightforward applications may be processed quickly after name approval and complete KYC, but there is no guaranteed timeline. Referrals, regulated activities, complex ownership or additional checks can extend processing.

What does a nominee director do?

A nominee director helps meet the local resident director requirement but remains a real director with statutory duties. Approval depends on KYC, the business activity, ownership and risk profile; it is not a rubber-stamp arrangement.

Is a bank account guaranteed?

No. We can help prepare the information pack and discuss suitable application routes, but every bank or fintech makes its own onboarding and approval decision.

Are government fees included?

Unless your quotation says otherwise, government and third-party fees are separate. ACRA currently charges S$15 for a company name application and S$300 to register a company; these fees can change.

What happens after incorporation?

You will need to maintain statutory records, meet annual filing and tax obligations, and keep company information current. Depending on your activities, you may also need licences, accounting, payroll or work-pass support.
