What are the requirements for company registration in Singapore?

When registering a company in Singapore, it is important to consider the following requirements:

  • Shareholders
    A company must have at least one (1) shareholder, who may be a local or foreign individual, or a corporate entity. Individual shareholders must be at least 18 years old.
  • Directors
    A company must appoint at least one (1) director, and at least one director must be ordinarily resident in Singapore. This may be a Singapore Citizen, Permanent Resident, or an eligible Employment Pass holder. The appointment of shareholders and directors is determined by the client.
  • Nominee Director (if applicable)
    If the company does not have a Singapore-resident director, a Nominee Director is required to meet this statutory requirement. The Nominee Director must be provided through a licensed Corporate Service Provider (CSP).

    Statrys can provide this service as part of the company incorporation package.
  • Share Capital
    There is no minimum paid-up capital requirement in Singapore. A company may be incorporated with a paid-up capital as low as SGD 1. Our Company Secretary team will assist in registering the appropriate share structure with ACRA and maintaining accurate share capital records.
  • Registered Office Address
    Every company must have a registered office address in Singapore. Statrys can provide a Singapore registered address as part of our corporate services.
  • Company Secretary
    The appointment of a Company Secretary is mandatory. The Company Secretary must be a Singapore resident and must be appointed within six months of incorporation.

    Statrys’ Company Secretary team ensures ongoing compliance with this requirement.
