COMPANY REGISTRATION IN SINGAPORE

company incorporation singapore

The registration of a company in Singapore can provide the founder with great benefits, improving the reputation and enabling the expansion throughout the Asian continent. The country is characterized by financial stability and beneficial legislation, which allows non-residents from different countries to establish businesses in Singapore without unnecessary bureaucratic delays.

Lawyers of Law & Trust International will assist you in your company set up. Our experts have a broad experience, and as a result, they guarantee a prompt completion of all stages of the company's registration in Singapore.

KEY MOMENTS OF COMPANY FORMATION IN SINGAPORE

Establishment of offshore companies in Singapore is technically impossible. If the company in Singapore conducts business with local partners or consumers and transfers received income to local bank accounts, it is obliged to pay 17% of Corporate Income Tax and, for some operations: 7% of GST (Goods and Services Tax, an analog of VAT, Value Added Tax). Corporate Income Tax, however, is not levied on funds that:

  1. have been received from abroad, and 
  2. have not been transferred to the local bank account in Singapore, and
  3. have not been spent for purchase or rent of real estate on the territory of Singapore.

So, Singapore companies that receive income from abroad and are exempted from taxation have some characteristics of an offshore company. However, each company in Singapore, notwithstanding the source of income, is obliged to keep the accounting record and submit the records to the relevant authorities of the country. An audit is mandatory for all companies, except for small ones, provided, that the accounts are not publicly accessible and can only be obtained by third parties either following shareholders’ decision or a court ruling. Consequently, a company registered in Singapore does not have a reputation for an offshore, so potential worldwide partners will more likely establish business relationships with such a company.

REQUIREMENTS FOR REGISTRATION OF COMPANY IN SINGAPORE

Registration of Singapore Company in the form of a Company Limited by Shares is the most cost-efficient for non-residents. The requirements for company formation in Singapore are indicated below.

  1. There is no minimum authorized share capital for Limited companies.
  2.  A minimum of one shareholder residing in any country is required to form a Limited company,
  3. At least one director in a Limited company must be appointed. The said director shall be a resident of Singapore,
  4. The process of incorporation involves getting a legal address on the territory of Singapore,
  5. Singapore does not impose any specific requirements for company naming, apart from its uniqueness (a Singapore Limited company must not use a name resembling any other Singapore company). Our experts recommend providing several names for approval in case of rejection of one or more names due to non-uniqueness or any other reason, 
  6. Singapore, as a common law jurisdiction, allows the use of nominee directors and /or nominee shareholders. It is allowed and will not harm your business reputation,
  7. The process of formation takes up from 1 to 2 weeks.
