Company Secretary Services

Though a relatively small city-state, Singapore stands out in the Asia-Pacific region due to numerous factors; political stability, accessibility, pro-business government policies, and more. Locals, foreigners, or company representatives who are keen on setting up a company in Singapore must comply with the legislation outlined under the Companies Act – one of which is to appoint a company secretary.

What are Corporate Secretary Services?

Corporate secretary services encompass a broad spectrum of duties essential for maintaining the statutory compliance and governance of your business. These services include:

  • Ensuring compliance with Singapore’s Companies Act, which mandates the appointment of a company secretary within six months of company incorporation.
  • Facilitating board and annual general meetings, including preparing and filing necessary documents and minutes.
  • Managing changes in company structure, such as directorships or company details, and maintaining statutory registers.
  • Assisting with compliance deadlines and filings, ensuring your business stays ahead of regulatory obligations.

Why is a Corporate Secretary Important?

A corporate secretary is the linchpin in ensuring your company’s compliance with local laws and regulations. Their scope of responsibilities may include:

  • Hold and attend Board of Director Meetings/Annual General Meeting (AGM)
  • Handle appointments as well as resignation of company Directors/Auditors/Officers
  • Apply for change in business activities/financial year-end
  • Update the Statutory Registers Books
  • Apply for change in company name/address
  • Reminders before compliance deadlines
  • Prepare and file annual returns
  • Take minutes during AGMs

The exact processes they do will depend on the nature and size of the business, as well as what is agreed upon with the external corporate secretary services provider.

Why Outsource Your Corporate Secretarial Services?

Businesses can decide between appointing a company secretary of their own and outsourcing their job. Before doing so, here are a few things to consider before choosing one that suits the company’s needs:

Appointing a secretary internally:

  • A presumably higher trust when you select an existing employee or Director as the company secretary.
  • The ability to select an individual familiar with the company’s way of work.
  • Training may be required to qualify the staff.

Outsourcing a company secretary:

  • While a corporate secretary may be considered an outsider to the company, they can still be legally liable for the organisation’s non-compliance while acting in the company’s best interests.
  • The ability to hire a secretary who is highly skilled and familiar with the compliance processes needed for your company.
  • You can save time and money instead of training the secretary from the ground up.
