Foreign Company Registration Options in Singapore

Transfer of Registration (Re-domiciliation)

  • Allows eligible foreign companies to shift their home jurisdiction to Singapore.
  • The company retains its legal identity and corporate history after the transfer.
  • Must meet minimum requirements such as solvency and compliance.
  • Suitable for firms seeking to permanently relocate and operate under Singapore law.

Setting up a Representative Office

  • Ideal for market research or exploring business opportunities in Singapore.
  • Cannot engage in commercial, profit-generating activities.
  • No need to register as a legal entity under Singapore law.
  • Valid for up to 3 years, after which it must convert to a legal entity if continuing operations.

Incorporating a Subsidiary / Local Company

  • Registered as a private limited company under Singapore law.
  • Treated as a separate legal entity from the parent company.
  • Allows 100% foreign ownership and access to local tax benefits.
  • Can conduct full business activities and enter contracts in its own name.

Registering as a Branch of a Foreign Company

  • Acts as an extension of the parent company, not a separate legal entity.
  • Liabilities extend to the foreign parent company.
  • Must appoint at least one local authorised representative.
  • Can carry out business activities similar to those of the parent company.
