You can ask us anything
Have a quick look to see if we have already answered your query on Singapore company incorporation.
01 | Can foreigners open a business in Singapore?
Singapore is very accepting to foreigners or international nomads who wish to incorporate. The sole requirement is that you must have a Singapore national or permanent resident act as a resident director. A nominee director can be hired to fulfill this requirement, and you as a foreigner can be appointed as another director of the company.
02 | What is the role of a nominee director?
The nominee is a Singaporean resident who is appointed to take the role of a director of your company’s board of directors on behalf of the beneficiary owners. The nominee director has the same statutory obligations and responsibilities under the Singapore Companies Act and the common law. However, you are still in full control of your company because the nominee cannot exercise directorship power without the owner’s consent.
In other words, there should be two (or more) directors if you are interested in our ‘Starter’ or ‘Premium’ package: you and the nominee, whilst all shareholders can be foreigners.
03 | What is an Employment Pass?
It is a kind of working visa issued to various professionals. It allows you to work for a specific company and bring your family to Singapore and it is renewable after 1 to 2 years of stay.
If you apply for an Employment Pass for your new company as the director, you will only need the nominee director service when you are waiting for the approval, which is about half a year. You can be the sole director of your company afterwards.
04 | How does the incorporation process go?
We need foreign directors and shareholders to provide a copy of their passport and proof of foreign address. Then you will need to reserve a company name and have it approved. You will need to provide the proposed English name of your company and its business activities.
We will prepare all the essential documents and submit them to ACRA (Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority). After your application is submitted to the BizFile+ (ACRA’s online filing and information retrieval system), the approval can be done within one business day. Then you will receive the electronic copy of the Certificate of Incorporation and the Busineass Profile of your company. You’ll have everything ready to soar high!
05 | What type of businesses require a license in Singapore?
Certain activities in Singapore require your company to acquire proper licenses, such as: educational institutions, employment agencies, financial services, import / export of goods, liquor / tobacco distributors, moneylenders, restaurants, and travel agencies.
