Company Incorporation Process
The process of incorporating a company in Singapore involves several key steps to ensure compliance and successful registration, namely:
1. Company Name Approval
- Reserve Your Company Name: Start by reserving your desired company name through ACRA’s BizFile+ portal. This secures your preferred name and prevents others from using it.
- Ensure Uniqueness: ACRA will review your proposed name to ensure it is unique, not too similar to existing names, and does not infringe on any trademarks.
- Specify Business Activities: Use the Singapore Standard Industrial Classification (SSIC) code to accurately describe the nature of your business activities. This helps authorities categorise your company correctly.
2. Document Preparation
Gather and prepare the following essential documents:
- Company Constitution: This legal document outlines the rules and regulations governing the internal management of your company.
- Business Activity Description: Provide a concise and clear description of your company’s intended business activities.
- Shareholder and Director Information: Obtain consent and particulars (personal details) from all shareholders and directors.
- Company Secretary Details: Provide consent and particulars of the appointed company secretary.
- Registered Address: Declare a valid physical address in Singapore as your company’s registered office.
- Declaration of Controllers: Identify and declare individuals with significant control over your company.
3. Application Submission
- Submit to ACRA: Once your documents are ready, submit your incorporation application through ACRA’s BizFile+ portal.
- Pay the Fee: Pay the required incorporation fee (currently S$315) to ACRA.
- Submission Methods:
- Singapore Residents: Use your Singpass account for online submission.
- Non-Residents: Engage a registered filing agent like OneStop to submit the application on your behalf.
Types of Company
Branch Office
A branch office is an extension of a foreign company operating in Singapore. It is not a separate legal entity and is fully dependent on the parent company. While branch offices can conduct business activities in Singapore, they do not offer the same limited liability protection as a subsidiary company.
Private Limited Company
A subsidiary company is a type of private limited company where the majority of shares are held by another company, usually a foreign parent company. This structure allows foreign companies to establish a presence and operate in Singapore while maintaining a degree of separation from the parent company.
Partnership
A partnership is a business structure involving two or more individuals or entities conducting business together. Partners share profits, losses, and liabilities jointly. Partnerships are generally less formally structured than companies and may have limitations in terms of fundraising and business continuity.
