Benefits of Company Registration in Singapore

Global Financial Hub:

“Singapore’s stature as a global financial hub is not just a title; it’s a gateway to myriad opportunities for businesses. Its stable political climate, robust legal system, and forward-looking economic policies create an ideal environment for business growth. Companies here enjoy access to a vast network of international markets, making it a strategic location for global business operations.”

Cost-Efficiency:

“The allure of Singapore also lies in its cost-effective approach to business establishment and maintenance. The process of registering a company is streamlined and affordable, minimizing your initial investment. Annual maintenance requirements are straightforward, devoid of complex bureaucracy, ensuring that businesses can focus on growth rather than administrative hurdles.”

Audit Exemption:

“For small businesses, Singapore offers an added advantage – an exemption from the often burdensome task of auditing financial statements. This policy is designed to ease the operational load on small enterprises, allowing them to allocate resources more efficiently towards business development and expansion.”

Tax Advantages:

“Singapore’s tax regime is another compelling reason for incorporation here. The country offers significant tax breaks and deductions, especially for businesses with local income. For companies with foreign-sourced income, many cases see exemptions, further enhancing the financial attractiveness of doing business in Singapore.”

Relocation Opportunities:

“Establishing a company in Singapore can also be a stepping stone to obtaining residency in the country. This presents a unique opportunity for business owners to not only grow their business within Singapore’s dynamic market but also to enjoy the quality of life and stability that Singapore offers its residents.”

Business-Friendly Environment:

“Singapore’s pro-business environment is characterized by its ease of doing business, transparency, and supportive government policies. These factors collectively make Singapore an irresistible choice for entrepreneurs and investors looking to expand in Asia and beyond.”

The Incorporation Process in Singapore

  1. Choose Company Structure:

Embarking on your business journey in Singapore begins with selecting the right company structure. Options include a Private Limited Company, ideal for foreign business owners due to its limited liability and professional image; partnerships, suitable for collaborative ventures; subsidiary companies, perfect for multinational corporations expanding into Singapore; and branch offices, for those seeking to establish a presence of their foreign company in Singapore. Each structure has its unique advantages and compliance requirements, tailored to different business needs and goals.

  1. Choose Company Name:

Your company name is your brand’s first impression. In Singapore, it must comply with ACRA’s guidelines. It should be unique, not resembling existing names, and reflect your business identity. We assist in the creative process of naming your business, ensuring it aligns with regulatory requirements while capturing the essence of your brand.

  1. Appoint Directors and Shareholders:

Setting up your company’s backbone involves appointing directors and shareholders. Singapore mandates at least one local director – a permanent resident, citizen, or valid work pass holder. This is where Intracorp’s nominee director services can be invaluable. Additionally, at least one shareholder is required, which can be an individual or a corporate entity, providing flexibility in structuring your company’s ownership.

  1. Prepare Documentation:

Precision in documentation is key to a smooth registration process. This includes outlining business activities, detailing information about shareholders and directors, and establishing a registered address in Singapore. Our team guides you in preparing these documents, ensuring they meet all statutory requirements.

  1. Engage Local Director and Company Secretary:

A local director and company secretary are not just statutory requirements but pillars of your business in Singapore. If you lack local contacts, our services extend to providing a nominee director and a company secretary. These roles are vital in ensuring your company adheres to local laws and corporate practices.

  1. Register Your Company With ACRA:

The culmination of your incorporation process is the registration with ACRA. This critical step, when handled by Intracorp, is streamlined and efficient. We ensure all details are in order and submit your application through our established channels, paving the way for your business to officially take its place in Singapore’s dynamic market.

  1. Post-Registration Formalities:

Once registered, the journey doesn’t end there. We assist in the post-registration formalities, including bank account setup, business licensing (if required), and guiding you through the initial phases of operation in Singapore. Our comprehensive support ensures you’re not just registered but ready to thrive.

  1. Ongoing Compliance and Support:

Intracorp’s commitment extends beyond incorporation. We offer ongoing support in ensuring your business stays compliant with Singapore’s regulatory landscape. From annual filings to regulatory updates, our team stands by to ensure your business navigates Singapore’s corporate environment seamlessly.

The Incorporation Process

Choose Company Structure
The only option available for foreign business owners in Singapore is a Private Company Limited by Shares. Others include partnership, subsidiary company, and branch office.
