Simple Compliance Process for Busy Entrepreneurs

Company Secretary:

Every company in Singapore is legally-bound to hire or have a company secretary. A company secretary is a person who takes care of your company’s compliance procedures with the relevant authorities such as:

• Forming or setting up your company and getting ready with all registration forms
• Organizing your company constitution, that is, memorandum and articles of the company
• Arranging your corporate compliance kit with registers, share certificates and minutes book
• Organizing your annual return filing both for your shareholders and directors

Provide a company secretary to your company for one year.
Maintaining all statutory records as required under local laws of Singapore including but not limited to the following statutory registers:

• Register of Applications and Allotments
• Register of Members
• Register of Transfer
• Register of Director, Manager and Auditor
• Register of Directors’ Shareholding
• Register of Debenture
• Send reminder to you for due dates of the statutory filings with ACRA

Resident Director:

If you are an overseas entrepreneur or founder, then we recommend you to use our services to take care of your legal requirement of having a locally-resident director on your company’s board. Or if you need someone till you have someone with an EP to act as your locally-resident director, we can manage that as well.

• There is no hidden cost involved
• Nominee director registration process along with annual renewal
• Offering 3-month and 6-month terms for temporary nominee directorships

A nominee director is a non-executive position which means that you would still need to appoint a secondary director (who can be 100% foreign) who is responsible of making executive decisions for your company, like authorizing the decision to open a bank account.

Though we act as your Local Director, we would request you to take one of our tax and accounting packages to make sure constant compliance of your entity’s accounts.
