Company Name Check for Singapore Entrepreneurs
The first step in setting up a company in Singapore is choosing a name and having your filing agency validate it in Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA). Search a company name with our free tool and see if it’s available.
How to pick a company name
You don’t want ACRA to reject your company name, so we list out some restrictions that you should know before you start choosing one. Your business name has to be:
Unique
Mind that in Singapore, a company name is considered taken even if you add the following elements to distinguish your name from the existing one:
Articles
A generic word
A business entity type
Licence-free
To get your name fast, avoid using words like "finance", "bank", "school", "media", or "education". They include types of business regulated by agencies other than ACRA, so your application will be referred to them for review. Yes, you can get your company name approved – but it will take some weeks longer.
Non-offensive
If a proposed business name is obscene or includes religious names, the Registry will reject the name for purposes of incorporation, registration, or name change.

FAQ
The key factor here is the business name availability. In Singapore, two companies can’t bear the same name. So you have to come up with a unique word or word combination. For a more detailed guide to select your Singapore company name, see our article 6 Steps to Starting a Business in Singapore.
