  1. Incorporate a Company in Singapore Online | Step-by-Step 2025 Incorporating a company in Singapore is fast, digital, and beginner-friendly. Below is a simple step-by-step guide to help you register your company online in 2025 — no legalese, just clear actions. Quick overview Singapore incorporation is mostly online via ACRA’s BizFile+. Typical timeline: 1–7 working days (faster if documents are ready). Minimum paid-up capital: SGD 1 . You can have 100% foreign ownership , but you need at least one local director (Singapore citizen/PR or relevant pass holder). Step 1 — Pick and reserve a company name ● Choose a name that is unique, professional, and not offensive. ● Submit the name to ACRA for approval. If approved, the name is reserved (usually 60 days ). ● Tip: prepare 2–3 backup names in case your first choice is taken. Step 2 — Choose the business structure Most foreign and local founders pick a Private Limited Company (Pte Ltd) because it: ● Gives limited liability (personal assets protected), ● Has its own legal identity, and ● Is tax-friendly and credible with banks/partners. Other options: Sole proprietorship, LLP, branch office, representative office. Pick the one that fits your goals. Step 3 — Meet the basic eligibility rules You’ll need: ● At least 1 shareholder (individual or company) — up to 50 for Pte Ltd. ● At least 1 local resident director (Singapore citizen/PR or pass holder). ● A company secretary (local resident) appointed within 6 months. ● A registered local address (no PO Box). ● Minimum paid-up capital: SGD 1.

  2. If you don’t have a local director/secretary, professional firms can provide nominee or corporate services. Step 4 — Prepare required documents Common documents include: ● Passport and residential proof for foreign directors/shareholders ● Proposed company name and business activities (SSIC codes) ● Company Constitution (previously Memorandum & Articles) ● Registered office address details ● KYC documents (if using nominee services) A service provider can help collect and format these so ACRA accepts them quickly. Step 5 — File the incorporation application on BizFile+ ● The application is submitted online through ACRA’s BizFile+. ● Provide director/shareholder details, constitution, and the registered address. ● Pay the incorporation fee. ● If everything is correct, approval often arrives in hours to a few days . Step 6 — Receive incorporation documents After approval you will get: ● Certificate of Incorporation ● Unique Entity Number (UEN) ● Company profile (lists directors, shareholders, business activities) Keep these safe — you’ll need them for banking, licenses, and tax registration. Step 7 — Post-incorporation steps ● Appoint the company secretary (if not already). ● Choose an auditor within 3 months only if your company is not audit-exempt. ● Apply for any industry licenses required for your business. ● Register for GST if revenue > SGD 1 million, or voluntarily if you want. ● Open a corporate bank account (many banks support remote onboarding). Quick tips to speed things up ● Have KYC documents ready and clear scans. ● Use a professional service to handle local director, secretary, and ACRA filing. ● Use clear, specific business activity descriptions (SSIC codes) to avoid delays.
