Singapore Company Formation Process

Step 1:

Choose a company type and reserve a company name

Choose the company type that fits your ownership, liability, funding, and expansion goals. For most startups and SMEs, a private limited company is a common choice.

You must also reserve a company name that is available, appropriate, and not restricted or too similar to existing names.

Step 2:

Prepare the required incorporation details

Prepare the details required for incorporation, including company name, registered office, financial year end, directors, shareholders, controllers, share capital, share allotment, and company constitution.

A Singapore company must have at least one director, with at least one director meeting local residency requirements — a Singapore Citizen, Permanent Resident, or valid Employment Pass holder.

Step 3:

Register the company with ACRA via Bizfile

Once the company name is approved and all details are ready, the company can be registered with the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA) through Bizfile. A Corporate Service Provider (CSP) can submit the application on behalf of foreign founders and complete the filing, review, and payment process.

Step 4:

Complete post-registration setup

After registration, open a corporate bank account, apply for Corppass, appoint a company secretary within six months, maintain statutory registers, and check whether any licence or permit is required for your industry.

BBCIncorp can support digital business account setup through partners such as Aspire, helping companies get operational from day one.

Step 5:

Stay compliant after incorporation

After incorporation, the company must maintain ongoing compliance, including a registered office, statutory registers, annual return filing, and tax obligations.

An auditor must be appointed within three months of incorporation under the Singapore Companies Act, unless the company qualifies for audit exemption.
