Registration Timeline to incorporate a company in Singapore<\/strong><\/p>\n
Over the last decade, the Singapore Registrar of Companies has made a dedicated effort to streamline the incorporation process. As a result, the company registration procedure is now fully-digitized and takes only\u00a02\u00a0days\u00a0<\/strong>(subject to the receipt of\u00a0complete documents).<\/p>\n
Get Started: Company Incorporation Documents<\/a><\/p>\n
<\/span>Step 1:<\/strong> Get ACRA’s Approval for Your Company Name<\/span><\/h3>\n

The approval process generally comes through in\u00a0less than an hour,<\/strong>\u00a0regardless of whether it is approved or rejected; provided it does not contain certain professional words such as \u201cbank\u201d, \u201cfinance\u201d, \u201claw\u201d, or \u201cmedia\u201d.\u00a0If you have submitted an application for a company name containing\u00a0these professional words,\u00a0it may require additional\u00a0approval from the relevant government authority outside of the Registrar. This will stretch the\u00a0approval process to several weeks. Your chosen company name must satisfy the following criteria:<\/p>\n
Company names must not be:<\/strong><\/p>\n
- \n
- identical to another existing Company Name<\/li>\n
- containing vulgar words<\/li>\n
- similar to established Names or trademarks such as Coca-Cola and Temasek<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Company names need to be:<\/strong><\/p>\n
- \n
- unique, meaningful, easy to read<\/li>\n
- free of copyright issues<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
To register your company name, visit ACRA’s portal: Bizfile<\/a><\/p>\n
Once the company name is approved, it will be reserved for 60 days from the date of application.<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n<\/span>Step\u00a02:<\/strong> Prepare Documents for company incorporation in Singapore<\/span><\/h3>\n
You’ll need to provide:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
- \n
- Your company name,<\/li>\n
- A brief description of your business and the scope of its activities,<\/li>\n
- Paid-up capital amount,<\/li>\n
- The particulars of your shareholders,<\/li>\n
- The details of your directors (this includes your mandatory resident director and any additional foreign or local directors),<\/li>\n
- Your registered office address in Singapore, and<\/li>\n
- The particulars of your company secretary,<\/li>\n
- For foreign nationals: Passport copy and proof of overseas residence,<\/li>\n
- A copy of the Singapore identity card for permanent residents or citizens, and<\/li>\n
- Copies of registration documents of the foreign company. This could include a Certificate of Incorporation and Memorandum and Articles of Association, and company extract from the registrar<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
*If the documents are in a language other than English, an officially endorsed translated copy is required.<\/span><\/p>\n

Once the relevant documents are signed, filing the incorporation request and receiving approval from the Registrar of Companies can occur in just a few hours after the name is approved. Log in to BizFile+<\/sup><\/a> to submit your application using your SingPass (for first-time registration) to submit the online transaction. To register a SingPass account or check your eligibility for SingPass, visit <\/span>www.singpass.gov.sg.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n
You will need the transaction number of your approved company name application.<\/p>\n
Once approval is granted, a registration fee must be paid to the Singapore Registrar of Companies. The fee\u00a0ranges from\u00a0S$300 and up<\/strong>\u00a0depending on the type\u00a0of entity registered.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Incorporating a Company But Not A Singaporean Resident?<\/span><\/h2>\n
If you are not a Singaporean resident, you should consider the following points:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Under Singaporean law, non-resident individuals or corporations are not allowed to self-register a company. So you must find a professional firm to register your company in Singapore.<\/b><\/li>\n
- You must get an Employment Pass or Entrepreneur Pass if you are planning to move to Singapore to operate your company. In doing so you can act as the local resident director of your company.<\/li>\n
- If you are operating your company from outside Singapore, you don\u2019t need to have a pass or working visa. However, you will need to find a local director to fulfill the minimum ‘one resident director requirement.<\/span><\/li>\n
- All Singapore company incorporation and work permit formalities can be handled without you having to physically visit Singapore \u2013 unless you intend to open a bank account at a Singapore-based bank.\n
Registering as a Private Limited liability company in Singapore is the best possible choice for foreign companies as it is recognized as a separate legal entity<\/strong>\u00a0and shareholders are not liable for any debts incurred beyond the share capital already contributed.<\/p>\n
A properly structured Private Limited company enjoys tax efficiencies and few limitations when conducting business in Singapore.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/span>After Incorporation<\/span><\/h2>\n
Once the company has been\u00a0set up,\u00a0the following documents will be issued:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Certificate of Incorporation:\u00a0<\/b>The Company Registrar will send an email containing a company registration number which is considered the official certificate of incorporation. Although a hard copy is no longer issued as a matter of course, one can be requested online and collected the next business day from the office of the registrar. Requesting a hard copy incurs a fee of S$50. This applies to both subsidiary and branch offices.<\/li>\n
- Company Business Profile:\u00a0<\/b>This is a document containing the particulars of your company and a PDF file of this can be requested for an application fee. The document will be delivered within an hour of making the request.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
These two documents are considered to be sufficient for all legal and contractual purposes for conducting business in Singapore including the opening of corporate bank accounts, signing of office leases, subscriptions to telephone\/internet services, etc.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Additionally, you’ll need:<\/span><\/h3>\n
- \n
- Share Certificates<\/a> for each shareholder (only for subsidiary),<\/li>\n
- A company seal (only for subsidiary),<\/li>\n
- A company rubber stamp, and<\/li>\n
- A share register indicating shares allotted (only for subsidiary).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Accounting<\/strong><\/h4>\n
Singapore companies need to keep accounting books in order. It means updating general ledgers, accounts payable and account receivables, or fixed asset ledger, etc. And filing of annual financial statements with ACRA in XBRL format.<\/p>\n
Annual General Meeting<\/strong><\/h4>\n
\u00a0Every company must convey its AGM in every calendar year and table its financial statements for the shareholder\u2019s scrutiny.<\/p>\n
Corporate Tax<\/strong><\/h4>\n
The due dates of company tax filing are 30 November (paper-filing) and 15 December (e-filing).<\/p>\n
Annual filing<\/strong><\/h4>\n
The Companies Act requires that you perform certain annual filing processes in order to comply with the relevant commercial regulations in Singapore after company incorporation in Singapore. The Annual Returns Filing must occur with a month of its AGM.<\/p>\n
Register for Central Provident Fund (CPF)<\/strong><\/h4>\n
CPF pension fund scheme i<\/b>n which the employer and employee contribute a percentage of the monthly salary to the fund as a compulsion. Employers must do CPF contribution for Singaporean Employees<\/a> or permanent residents earning more than S$50 a month CPF contribution for foreign employees is not required.<\/p>\n
