I don't have a local director. Can I still register a company?
Yes. Singapore requires one resident director, so we include a nominee director in your package, with no security deposit (unlike most providers).

Everything you're about to ask
The questions every foreigner registering a company in Singapore asks first, answered before you scroll.
Can I register a company from abroad?
Yes, it's 100% online. As a corporate service provider registered with ACRA, we submit to ACRA and handle identity checks remotely. No trip to Singapore needed.
Why choose Statrys over other providers?
Statrys is the only provider in Singapore that offers company formation, business account, and accounting for year one all under one roof, with the same team start to finish.
Is there a minimum paid-up capital requirement?
Singapore sets no minimum paid-up capital, so you can incorporate with as little as SGD 1 of share capital and increase it later as the business grows.
How long does it take to register a company in Singapore?
With complete documents and an approved name, ACRA can process the filing within a few hours to a few days, and most companies are registered within 5 days overall. At Statrys, you'll also get a business account ready for you.
What documents do I need to register a company?
Registration needs an approved name, the company constitution, shareholder and director details (ID and residential address), consent-to-act forms, and proof of registered office. With Statrys, you upload your passport and proof of address online, and we prepare the other documents for your e-signature.
Can foreigners open a business account in Singapore?
Yes. Traditional banks often require signatories to be physically present, but you can apply for a Statrys business account online after incorporation without visiting Singapore.
What are my compliance obligations after incorporation?
Appoint a company secretary within six months, hold AGMs and file annual returns, file taxes with IRAS, and update ACRA within 14 days of key changes. Statrys handles these filings for you in your first year.
What is the corporate tax rate in Singapore?
A flat 17% on chargeable income. Qualifying start-ups get 75% exemption on the first SGD 100,000 of chargeable income and 50% on the next SGD 100,000, for their first three Years of Assessment.
Do I need a company secretary to register my business?
Not at filing, but every company must appoint a qualified secretary within six months, and Statrys includes this for year one.

What Our Clients Say
Fantastic service from Michelle in Singapore and Nestor in Hong Kong. Were able to get my new Singapore company set up within 2 days. Highly responsive and quick to answer any questions I asked.
I have been very pleasantly surprised by the experience as a whole. Everyone I have communicated with has been polite, responded quickly and every issue solved in a short amount of time. The app and website work seamlessly. All around a great product that I have already recommended to friends.
We strongly suggest Statrys for the Company Incorporation Services. The easy process, outstanding customer assistance, and complete service offerings make them the ideal choice for company incorporation with peace of mind. Before we hired them, we read a lot of good reviews online, which made us feel confident in their honesty and we experienced the same during our company creation process.

My experience with the company creation team, the first step in opening my business account, was fantastic. I talked with several people and all of them were polite and professional. Nestor went above and beyond from day one to the approval of the account, his in-depth understanding of Hong Kong made the process worry-free.

Why register a Singapore company
Four reasons foreign founders choose Singapore as their base.
Strategic location & connectivity
At the heart of Southeast Asia, Singapore gives direct access to ASEAN and Asia-Pacific markets, with political stability, a transparent legal framework and world-class connectivity.
Business-friendly tax system
One of the region's most competitive regimes. The corporate tax rate is capped at 17%, with qualifying start-ups getting 75% off the first SGD 100,000 and 50% off the next SGD 100,000 of normal chargeable income for their first three Years of Assessment.
Fast, fully online setup
Most companies are registered and ready within 5 days, and ACRA approves most registrations soon after payment once your documents and name are in order. Complex applications can take up to 15 working days, and those needing referral-authority approval (such as regulated industries) can take 14 to 60 days.
Skilled workforce & pro-business support
A highly skilled workforce, strong digital infrastructure and active government support for innovation make it easier to scale and compete internationally.
Singapore vs. the alternatives
Statrys runs both Singapore and Hong Kong incorporation, so here's an honest look at how the main options stack up.
Singapore
Corporate tax
Flat 17%, with partial exemptions for new companies
Local director required?
Banking & business account access
Strong, as an established international financial hub
Perception with banks, partners & investors
Established, well understood
Hong Kong
Corporate tax

Traditional offshore
(BVI, Cayman)

Local director required?
Usually No
Banking & business account access

Could you just register it yourself?
If you already have a Singapore resident willing to be your director and to reserve the name and register the company, then yes. However, foreigners themselves must use a corporate service provider for this.

Frequently Asked Questions
Check out the most frequently asked questions from our clients.
Do I need to be in Singapore to register a company?
No. Singapore allows remote incorporation. A company can be registered online through ACRA’s Bizfile portal. Your incorporation agent can submit the application, and you do not have to travel to Singapore. After registration, Statrys can help you open a business account online.
With the help of corporate services providers like Statrys, a foreign company can handle the entire registration process online, without visiting Singapore in person.What are the basic requirements to register a company in Singapore?
You must choose a unique company name and appoint at least one resident/local director (a Singapore citizen, permanent resident, or holder of an Employment Pass, Personalised Employment Pass or Overseas Networks & Expertise Pass). The company must have 1–50 shareholders, a local registered office that is a physical address (no P.O. boxes) accessible to the public for at least three hours during business days, and must appoint a company secretary within six months of incorporation.
There is no minimum paid‑up capital, and a company can be formed with SGD 1.Can a foreigner be the sole shareholder of a Singapore company?
Yes. Singapore’s Companies Act allows 100% foreign shareholding. A private limited company can have between 1 and 50 shareholders, who may be individuals or corporations of any nationality. However, the company must still have at least one local resident director.
What types of companies can I register in Singapore?
The main structures are: Private Limited Company (Pte Ltd) – the most common form with limited liability and up to 50 shareholders; Sole Proprietorship – owned by one individual who is personally liable; Partnership – two or more persons sharing profits and liabilities; Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) – partners have limited liability; and Public Limited Company – can offer shares to the public.
Foreign businesses may also set up a subsidiary or register a branch with ACRA, or set up a representative office (which is not registered with ACRA).
Do I need a local registered address for my company?
Yes. All companies must have a registered office address in Singapore. It must be a physical address (P.O. boxes are not permitted) and must be accessible to the public for at least three hours during ordinary business hours. If you operate from home, you may use your residential address as the registered office under the Home Office Scheme, but registration with the Housing & Development Board (HDB) or Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) is required. Any change of registered address must be filed with ACRA within 14 days.
What is the difference between a foreign company and a local company in Singapore?
A foreign company is an overseas entity that registers a branch in Singapore, while a local company (including a subsidiary of an overseas parent) is incorporated directly under Singapore law as a separate legal entity.
Do I need a Singapore resident as a local director for Singapore company registration?
Yes, at least one company director must be a Singapore resident to fulfil statutory compliance requirements under ACRA.
What is the role of a corporate secretary in a Singapore company registration?
The corporate secretary ensures that company directors meet statutory duties, maintain records, and stay aligned with legal compliance requirements.
