FAQs

- A company needs to have at least one shareholder who can be a local or foreign individual or company
- At least one of the directors must be a natural person, above the age of eighteen years old, and a resident of Singapore
- A shareholder who is a natural person can also be a director of the company

A Singapore Private Limited Company (LLC) registration requires at least 1 shareholder. A Private Limited Company can have a maximum of 50 shareholders.
Registering a company in Singapore is straightforward and efficient. The process begins with choosing an available company name and preparing documents such as the company constitution, details of directors and shareholders, and the registered office address. Once completed, the documents are submitted online to the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA). Upon approval, an official business profile is issued, finalising the registration. Singapore’s system ensures a smooth and transparent experience for businesses.
For non-resident companies intending to set up in Singapore, we generally recommend a subsidiary setup, as it is regarded as a separate legal entity from the parent, and the parent’s financials need not be filed with Singapore authorities. Also, a subsidiary works like a normal Singapore Private Limited Company, which is treated as a tax resident and enjoys local tax benefits.
To verify if your company is incorporated in Singapore, visit the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA) website and search using your company’s name or Unique Entity Number (UEN).
