We begin with a thorough consultation to understand your business goals, industry, and specific needs. This allows us to tailor our incorporation services to suit your objectives, ensuring a smooth and efficient process.

Once we’ve determined the best structure for your business, we assist with preparing and gathering all necessary documents. This includes a copy of your NRIC and passport or other personal identification documents. We then submit these documents to ACRA on your behalf.

Our team handles the entire filing process with ACRA, ensuring that all regulatory requirements are met. This includes reserving your company name, registering the company, and appointing key officers like directors and the company secretary. Once ACRA approves the incorporation, your business is officially registered in Singapore.

After the company incorporation process, we provide ongoing support to ensure you meet all post-incorporation requirements. We also offer assistance in other aspects of starting your business, such as corporate secretarial services and global trademark registration if needed. Our comprehensive post-incorporation services ensure that your business remains compliant and operationally efficient.

Additionally, we provide trademark registration services to help protect your brand identity as part of the incorporation process. We assist in selecting and reserving your company name, ensuring it complies with ACRA’s guidelines and accurately represents your brand. This is the first crucial step in establishing your company’s identity in the market.

Our team handles the preparation of all necessary legal documents, including the company constitution, shareholder agreements, and director consents. We ensure that all paperwork is in order and meets the stringent requirements set by Singapore’s regulatory bodies.

We manage the entire filing process with the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA). This includes submitting your company incorporation application, registering your business, and ensuring that all details are correctly recorded to avoid delays or issues.

While this service is part of our incorporation package, please note that the setup of a corporate bank account is typically charged separately. We assist in facilitating this process with a local bank, ensuring that the setup is smooth and efficient, providing your business with the essential financial infrastructure to operate effectively. Please contact us to learn more about the charges and services involved.

We continuously monitor regulatory changes and updates to ensure your business remains compliant with all relevant laws and regulations. This proactive approach helps mitigate risks and keeps your operations running smoothly.

This depends on how prompt you and your shareholders can submit documentation to our staff. However, typically, once all the documents are prepared, the registration process will take 1 to 3 days. Should the application be referred to another Minister, this could take up to 2 months.

Yes, a registered office address in Singapore is mandatory, but it doesn't have to be where the business operates. This requirement ensures that the public can contact the business if needed and that legal documents can be delivered efficiently.
