Frequently Answered Questions

A Certificate of Incorporation is issued by the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA) to businesses that are registered with ACRA. It serves as proof that the business is legally registered and compliant with Singapore company law. Certificate of Incorporations are important because they provide proof of the legal status of a business and can be used to verify the identity of a business, obtain a business license from the Singapore Land Authority (SLA), and open bank accounts.

  1. Choose a business structure. There are 4 main business structures in Singapore: sole proprietorship, partnership, limited liability partnership (LLP), and company limited by shares (private limited company). The structure you choose will depend on your specific needs and circumstances.
  2. Check the availability of the business name. You can check the availability of a business name on the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA) website.
  3. Prepare the documents. The documents you need to prepare will vary depending on the business structure you choose. For a private limited company, you will need to prepare the following documents:
    • Memorandum and Articles of Association
    • Name Reservation Certificate
    • Specimen Signatures
    • Declaration of Compliance
  4. Pay the registration fee. The registration fee for a private limited company is S$300.
  5. Register with ACRA. You can register your company with ACRA online or by mail.
  6. Get your COI. Once your company is registered, you will receive your COI by mail.

The processing time for registering a company in Singapore is typically 1-3 working days. However, the actual processing time may vary depending on the complexity of the application and the workload of the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA).

There are no restrictions on foreign ownership and company incorporation in Singapore. Foreigners can own 100% of a Singapore company. However, there are some requirements that must be met, such as having at least one local director.

The local director must be a citizen or permanent resident of Singapore. They must also be physically present in Singapore for at least 183 days in a year. The local director can be a nominee director, which means that they are appointed by the foreign shareholders to act on their behalf.

No, foreign companies are not required to have a physical office in Singapore to start a business. However, they are required to register a registered office address in Singapore. This address can be the address of a serviced office or a virtual office.

To start a business in Singapore, it is necessary to have at least one local resident or director who is a resident of Singapore. If you do not meet this requirement, you can use nominee director services.
