We help you with everything Singapore’s Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA) needs from business founders:

Corporate Secretary
Singapore law requires each company to have a secretary. This officer is in charge of state compliance. They file annual returns and resolutions on changes, prepare Annual General meetings, and processes dividends distribution.

Nominee Director
At least one of your directors has to be a Singapore resident. Hiring a nominee is a common and legal practice.

A nominee puts their name on your papers but can’t make any core business decisions. If there’s any wrongdoing, such as late or incorrect reports, the nominee director shares legal responsibility. That’s why you have to get an accounting package with this service.

Registered address
All Singaporean companies must have a local registered address. It goes on all legal documents. We receive your correspondence, scan and forward them to you.

Foreigners need a certified agency to file for incorporation. We collect and sort all your documents online and send you the application to sign electronically. Here’s how it works:

1. First, complete your identity verification (MyInfo Verification for Singapore Permanent Residents). All company directors and shareholders need to complete this to stay compliant.
2. Provide proof of address and company information, such as the share structure for your company constitution.
3. Let us know your paid-up capital — S$1 is enough.

We partner with Singapore banks and payment services that can open a business bank account for you remotely online. We present you to the banks, but we can’t guarantee you’ll get an account for your business. The decision is always up to banks.

Each bank has their own procedure to open an account without physically visiting the branch. They do KYC interviews online using video conferencing and send couriers to exchange docs. Talk to us to learn about details, rates, and requirements.

You need to submit several tax reports a year. Your accounting team will organise your docs, prepare reports, and file them neatly. We also advise on exemption options for you as a foreign business owner in Singapore.

Even if you have no transactions, you still need to submit annual reports: Estimated Chargeable Income, financial statements, and annual tax return called Form C or Form C-S. It’s crucial to prepare them right and on time, otherwise your company and the Nominee director can face fines and penalties.

A permit that allows you to work, live and bring your family to Singapore. Only a Singapore registered company can apply for an EP. It has to be a real operational business. We can register a company for you, set up the reporting and apply for EP.

We will file your CV with relevant professional experience, education data and the company profile to get the visa. The process can take up to 3-6 months depending on the requirements. Once you get it, the employment pass is valid for 1 or 2 years and can be renewed afterwards.
