Incorporating in Singapore


With an unique infrastructure, flexible tax system and minimal bureaucracy, Singapore is a favourable and prestigious country, in which to establish a business. Increasing numbers of entrepreneurs, corporations and ventures of all sizes across the world are using Singapore as the incorporation
 jurisdiction for their business. 

Advantages of Incorporating in Singapore:-

Advantageous Foreign Ownership Policy - An entity domiciled in Singapore is permitted to allocate 100% of its shares to foreign shareholders, allowing complete ownership of the company from a foreign location.

Attractive Tax Obligations - Singapore administers English Common Law, yet unlike Great Britain has no offshore legislation. As such it offers a combination of tax exemptions on income and benefits to foreign entities, providing an attractive business environment.

Excellent business and social infrastructure - The political stability compliments it in addition to the transparency of the bureaucratic processes. Corruption is almost negligible. Policies and Laws that are framed by the Singapore Government do not leave any scope for unbalancing the local peoples’ interests and the benefits of the foreign entrants and settlers.

Fast Formation Process - The registration process is fast and trouble free as there are no complications. A business can be literally registered in two days if all the required documents are proper and you can start your company operations within a week or two.

Credible image - Since Singapore is not a tax haven, an offshore company that is incorporated in Singapore communicates credibility and stature as a legal entity. By incorporating a Singapore offshore company, your business will be taken seriously by stakeholders such as employees, bankers or other professionals you will be dealing with.

Singapore has been consistently ranked as the world’s easiest place to do business. The company registration process is quick and efficient, free of bureaucratic red-tape. The registration procedure is fully computerized and involves only two distinct steps – company name approval and submitting incorporation documents. Both these procedures can be executed online and under normal circumstances a Singapore offshore company can be incorporated in 1-2 days.

Liberal foreign ownership policy - Singapore’s foreign ownership policy is open and liberal. There are no restrictions on permitted fields of business activity if you want to set up an offshore company in Singapore. 100% foreign shareholding is allowed in all sectors. Shareholders can be individuals or corporate bodies. Additionally, foreigners wanting to register an offshore company in Singapore do not require prior approval from Singapore authorities.

Political stability - The Political and Economic Risk Consultancy has rated Singapore as the most politically stable country in Asia and Asia’s least bureaucratic country. The Singapore government is noted for its high integrity and pro-business approach. It is often described as rational, pragmatic, transparent and corrupt-free. Singapore is also characterized by a transparent, sound and efficient legal system. There are clear-cut rules and regulations pertaining to commerce, intellectual property protection, manpower and other business related areas. As a result, the level of risk involved in setting up and operating a Singapore offshore company is minimal and almost non-existent.

Sophisticated banking facilities - Singapore has emerged as the leading financial center in the Asia Pacific region. Singapore offshore companies have a broad choice of world-class local and foreign banks for opening an account. Banks in Singapore offer a wide-array of attractive features such as multi-currency accounts, internet banking, credit cards, trade financing, freedom to move funds across countries and more. Although most of the banks require physical presence at the time of opening the account some of them are willing to make an exception on a case-by-case basis. The account opening process may take anywhere from 2-15 days depending on the amount of due-diligence undertaken by the bank.
