Singapore Company Incorporation
Fast, compliant company setup, managed from start to finish.
Registering a private limited company in Singapore is a fast, largely digital process — but it comes with a specific set of legal requirements that must be met correctly the first time. Beyond the private limited company, which is by far the most common structure, Singapore also allows for sole proprietorships, limited liability partnerships, branch offices, representative offices, and companies limited by guarantee for non-profit purposes. Pointer Services manages the entire incorporation process on your behalf, so your company is typically registered within a few working days rather than weeks.

Need A Local Director? Our Nominee Director Service Can Help
Every Singapore private limited company must have at least one director who is ordinarily resident in Singapore. If you’re a foreign entrepreneur without a local director, we can provide a qualified local nominee director to meet this requirement — without you giving up control of your business. The nominee typically does not take part in day-to-day management, and the arrangement can be ended at any time once you have your own local director.
What You'll Need To Get Started
- Proposed company name(s), plus a description of your principal business activities
- Identification documents for all proposed directors, shareholders and beneficial owners
- Proof of a Singapore registered office address (we can provide this if you don't have one)
- Minimum paid-up share capital of S$1 (a higher amount may be advisable for certain work pass applications)
- Your intended shareholding structure, if there is more than one shareholder
Key Facts You Should Know
- Minimum 1 local director and 1 shareholder required

Notes: Registered Address is not charged if you provide your own compliant Singapore address. Nominee Director fees are billed annually and our standard terms include a refundable security deposit. Employment Pass and EntrePass applications can only be submitted after incorporation is complete. Nominee directors do not take part in day-to-day business operations. Fees for companies with more than 3 directors, shareholders, or corporate shareholders may attract a small additional charge per person or entity.
Fees shown are example placeholders only, illustrating how the comparison table works — replace every figure with your actual rates before publishing. Each package card’s price list and total live inside a single Text Editor widget per column, so you can edit all the numbers for that package in one place.

Frequently Asked Questions
Once all required documents are in order, most companies are incorporated within a few working days of submission to ACRA.
Yes. Singapore places no restrictions on foreign ownership. You will, however, need at least one director who is ordinarily resident in Singapore — our nominee director service can help if you don’t have one.
Just S$1. Some foreign entrepreneurs choose a higher amount if it supports a related Employment Pass application, but there’s no general legal minimum beyond S$1.
The difference is mainly the annual Nominee Director fee — since you won’t have your own Singapore-resident director, we provide one to meet the legal requirement, which carries its own annual cost and security deposit.
Some activities — such as food and beverage, financial services, childcare, travel agencies, or moneylending — require a specific licence before you can legally trade. We can assess your specific business activity and help with the application if one is needed.
Once incorporated, we can help prepare your documentation and facilitate an introduction to a suitable banking partner — some banks support remote account opening for foreign-owned companies.
You’ll need to appoint a company secretary within 6 months, keep proper accounting records, and hold your first AGM within 18 months. Our Accounting, Tax and Company Secretary services can take all of this off your hands.
