Company Incorporation in Singapore Made Simple with Lanturn

Yes, as Singapore has a favourable business climate and welcomes foreign investments. In fact, foreign companies can choose to set up a subsidiary, branch office, or representative office in Singapore.

This is indeed a complex process, as each structure has its own advantages and disadvantages, and it is important to consider factors such as tax implications, compliance requirements, etc. when making your decision. Consulting with a professional service provider can help you navigate the process and reach a decision that best suits your business needs.

Before incorporating a company in Singapore, you must reserve a unique name for your business through ACRA’s Bizfile+ portal. It’s important to choose a name that represents your brand while not being identical to any existing trademarks or business names. We recommend that perform a quick online search on the ACRA website to ensure that your company name is available before proceeding with the reservation process.

Incorporation requires a minimum paid-up capital of 1 SGD, which can be increased at any time after registration.

To establish your business in Singapore, it is possible to have a minimum of one and a maximum of 50 shareholders. The shareholders can be either individuals or corporate entities.
