Singapore provides attractive incentives and exemptions for entrepreneurs willing to set up their businesses in the country. This is the primary reason many multinational corporations select Singapore as their company’s base of operations.
A number of companies operating in Singapore are categorized as private limited companies. Business registration laws in Singapore state that anyone – a non citizen or a Singapore national – who is above 18 years old can register a private limited company.
As with other nations, Singapore has a set of guidelines for the registration of a private limited company.
Below are a few of the requisites that need to be met by entrepreneurs planning to establish business in Singapore. This list covers the basic requisites, the steps, as well as some things that you could encounter when registering your business in Singapore.
1. Singapore expects a foreign company intending to establish operations in the country to engage a professional firm to process the registration of the private limited company. Foreign entrepreneurs are not allowed by the Singapore government to self-register their private limited companies.
2. It is a requisite that at the minimum one individual will be listed as a resident director for the company being registered in Singapore. In this setting, a resident is an individual who is a Singapore citizen, who could either be a natural-born citizen or an individual granted by Singapore any of the work permits for foreign nationals.
3. A private limited company operating in Singapore must have at a minimum of one and at the maximum 50 shareholders.
4. A private limited company preparing for registration in Singapore is required to present a physical address in the country, and not just a PO box.
5. The private limited company that has been granted registration by the Singapore government may then open a corporate bank account in the country. In banking consultants, this certain process calls for the principal of the private limited company to be present for this process.
6. Depending on the nature of the private limited company’s business in Singapore, it may also be required by the governing agencies to acquire a business license before it could commence operations.
After you’ve taken care of all requirements, all will be set for a smooth-sailing business venture in Singapore.
