We asked 16 Singapore incorporation agents to quote for the exact same company. The day-one bills were nowhere near each other, and the reasons are tucked away in the fine print.
Setting up a company in Singapore sounds like the easy part, until you open Google. Dozens of incorporation agents are ready to do it for you, and nearly all of them promise something fast and all-inclusive. Then you try to compare them. One mentions a nominee director, another quietly adds a security deposit, and you still can’t tell what will actually leave your account.
So Bertrand Théaud, founder of Statrys, did the boring part. He collected quotes from 16 agents for the same company and laid them side by side. He starts with the basics of what a Singapore company needs, then follows what each firm charges on day one and the extras that can push the bill well past the number on the website. Statrys sells this service too, so he says upfront that it’s a competitor. That’s why every figure in the video comes with its source, and why Statrys’s own price goes on the table at the end, including the parts that don’t flatter it.
