Who We’ve Worked With

Registered Office Requirement in Singapore

To register a company in Singapore, business owners must provide a valid local office address in the ACRA online application. This address is mandatory under Singaporean law and must be secured before company formation. Entrepreneurs may use a company registration address service to meet this requirement.

Key Requirements for Registered Office Addresses in Singapore

Criteria for a Registered Office Address

Must be a location where all communications and notices can be sent.
Open and accessible to the public for at least three hours during ordinary business hours on each business day.
Must be a physical office address located in Singapore.
P.O. box addresses are not permitted.

Home Address

Possible under the Home Office Scheme with URA or HDB, subject to specific criteria.
Permit can be revoked if conditions are breached.
Certain business types are prohibited, including catering, manufacturing, courier services, beauty services, sales and marketing, and more.
Minimum opening hours requirement – the registered office must be open for at least five hours on each business day.
Loss of privacy – the registered office address is public and searchable.
An application to HDB is required, with administrative fees that may be forfeited if rejected.
Many business owners opt for a virtual office address, even when operating from home, due to the limited benefits and strict restrictions.

Virtual Office

Provides a business address and phone number without renting physical space.
Popular with entrepreneurs, freelancers, and small businesses seeking a professional image at low cost.
Key benefits include cost savings and flexibility to work from anywhere.
Common services: registered office address, mail handling, call answering, and meeting room rentals.
Not all providers offer ACRA-compliant registered addresses, so verification is essential before choosing.

Office Rentals

High CBD Rental Costs – Grade A offices in the CBD range from $9–$15 psf/month; Grade B from $4–$7 psf/month.
Lower Rates Outside CBD – Rentals range from $2–$7 psf/month but may have restrictions, such as investment commitments in industrial parks.
Additional Costs – Renovation, utilities, technology, and equipment add to expenses; leases often require office restoration at the end of the term.
Accessibility Considerations – Industrial park locations may be cheaper, but can be less accessible for staff, clients, and investors.
Virtual Office Advantage – Offers prestigious CBD addresses with meeting facilities, internet, and video conferencing at a fraction of the cost, enhancing business image and convenience for client interactions.
