Frequently Asked Questions about Singapore Incorporation

What is a Singapore Pte Ltd company?
A Private Limited Company (Pte Ltd) is the most common business structure in Singapore. It is a separate legal entity from its shareholders, providing limited liability protection and allowing 100% foreign ownership.
Do I need to be in Singapore to incorporate?
No, the entire incorporation process can be done remotely. However, every Singapore company must have at least one local resident director (Singapore citizen, PR, or Employment Pass holder). We can provide a nominee director service if needed.
How fast can I incorporate in Singapore?
Singapore has one of the fastest incorporation processes in the world. Name approval takes about 1 hour, and company registration is typically completed within 15 minutes to 1 day after document submission.
What is the minimum paid-up capital required?
Singapore has no minimum capital requirement. You can start with as little as S$1 in paid-up capital. However, banks may require higher capital for account opening, and certain licenses may have capital requirements.
What are the ongoing compliance requirements?
Singapore companies must hold an Annual General Meeting (AGM), file annual returns with ACRA, prepare audited accounts (if required), and file corporate tax returns. Most small companies are exempt from audit requirements.
Can I get a work visa through my Singapore company?
Yes, as a business owner or director, you can apply for an Employment Pass (EP) or EntrePass. The company must be operational and meet minimum salary requirements (currently S$5,000/month for EP).
