Singapore Company Formation.
We incorporate private limited companies (Pte Ltd) with the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA) through BizFile+, working through a registered corporate service provider where your directors do not hold Singpass. Every company needs at least one director who is ordinarily resident in Singapore, so we plan the officers, registered office and post-incorporation filings together.
Typically 1–2 weeks, most of it spent on KYC and settling the resident director. ACRA registration itself is usually quick unless the name or activity is referred to another authority.
A partner — a chartered accountant or company secretary — from the first call to sign-off.
