Singapore company formation process

steps to register a company in Singapore

Step 1: Select company name and types

To set up a company in Singapore, you must first acquire a name that's available and in line with statutory requirements.

Typically, there are universal guidelines to choosing a name for your business: availability, appropriateness and uniqueness. As for choosing an entity type, it's best to go with the one that suits business needs to the most.

Step 2:Submit application

You will need to ascertain information on the directors, shareholders, or other key personnels, in prelude to submitting them along with your chosen company name to the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA).

Step 3:Apply for business license

By law, all companies involved in business formation in Singapore must obtain a business license, either as a sole trader or a registered business. Depending on the nature of your operations, additional vetting by industry-specific inspectors and consulting agencies may be required before your application is approved.

Step 4:Open a bank account

Here's the final step before getting your company up and going smoothly in Singapore: opening a business bank account.

To ensure a swift and effortless process, consider financial institutions like Aspire, Payoneer, and ANEXT, which utilize cloud-based solutions. Alternatively, you can also opt for a traditional bank account for more comprehensive services.

Step 5:Stay compliant

Singapore is among the top jurisdictions for doing business in its region. Successful company setup here comes with a higher compliance ceiling, with key requirements including annual returns filing, registered office maintenance, appointing a Company Secretary, and more.
