Which Company Type Best Fits Your Business?

A preferred choice for foreign companies. A subsidiary is a private limited company that’s a separate legal entity from its parent, allowing a different name and activities while shielding the parent from liabilities. It operates as a local Singapore company with flexible shareholding, access to low corporate tax rates, and eligibility for government incentives. To learn more, see our guide Singapore Subsidiary Company Registration.

Branch Office is an extension of the foreign parent—not a separate legal entity. It must use the parent’s name and mirror its activities; all debts and liabilities rest with the parent and claims can be heard in Singapore. For tax, a branch is treated as a non-resident, so it generally doesn’t qualify for Singapore tax incentives or DTA relief, and it must appoint at least one Singapore-resident local representative. Learn more about Branch Office Registration in Singapore.

Representative Office (RO) is a temporary, non-trading setup that enables foreign companies to establish a presence in Singapore without incorporating a full legal entity. An RO must operate under the same name as its parent company, has no separate legal personality, and cannot conduct commercial activities such as signing contracts, issuing invoices, or making sales. The parent company remains fully liable for all obligations. For more details, see our Singapore Representative Office Guide.

Frequently Asked Questions About Incorporating a Company in Singapore

The typical incorporation process in Singapore takes 2 to 4 business days, assuming all documents are submitted promptly. Key steps include:

Submission of company details (1 hour to a few days)
KYC checks by the service provider (1–2 days)
Company name reservation with ACRA (usually under 1 hour)
Document preparation and signing (within a day)
Final filing with ACRA (1–2 hours; approval usually same day)

Note: Delays usually occur if the client needs more time to prepare or review documents, or if ACRA requires additional clarification.

The required documents for company incorporation in Singapore depend on whether the shareholder is an individual or a corporate entity.

For Individual Shareholders:

Passport copy
Singapore ID, if the individual resides in Singapore
Proof of residential address (e.g. utility bill, driver’s license, bank statement, or tenancy agreement — dated within the last 3 months)
Brief professional background (such as a CV or LinkedIn profile)

For Corporate Shareholders:

Certificate of incorporation of the parent company
Official business profile detailing the parent company’s activities, share capital, shareholders, and directors
Ownership structure chart identifying the Ultimate Beneficial Owners (UBOs)
Board resolution authorizing the incorporation of a subsidiary in Singapore

Additional documents may be requested depending on the complexity of the ownership structure or the nature of the business.

Yes, you can operate your Singapore company from abroad. Foreign entrepreneurs are not required to reside in Singapore to incorporate or manage a business here. Our ACRA-licensed CSP teams who will handle all incorporation and compliance requirements on your behalf. With remote onboarding, digital document management, and expert support, you can register and run your Singapore company entirely from overseas — without needing to visit Singapore.

Certain business activities in Singapore require a business license or permit. When incorporating your company, it’s important to check whether your intended business activities fall under any regulated category. If so, you must apply for the relevant license(s) from the appropriate government agencies before commencing relevant business activities. Refer to our Comprehensive Guide to Singapore Business Licensing Requirements to learn which licenses apply to your business.

Incorporating a company in Singapore offers several tax advantages:

The corporate tax rate is capped at 17%, but most startups and SMEs pay less due to exemptions.
New companies can benefit from the Startup Tax Exemption Scheme, reducing taxes significantly for the first three years.
Singapore also does not impose capital gains tax or dividend tax, making it attractive for investors.
Additionally, the country has over 80 Double Taxation Agreements (DTAAs), helping businesses avoid being taxed twice on the same income.

To learn more, explore our guide to Singapore’s corporate tax system.

Using a licensed Corporate Service Provider (CSP) in Singapore is mandatory for foreigners setting up a company. Beyond compliance, a trusted CSP offers objective advice, ensures accurate ACRA filings, and handles all paperwork from name approval to incorporation. The right partner also provides post-incorporation support such as company secretary services, tax filing, and compliance reminders, giving entrepreneurs peace of mind and a smooth start for their Singapore business.

When selecting a company incorporation service provider (CSP) in Singapore, look for proven experience, licensed expertise, and a dedicated team that takes the time to understand your needs. Avoid providers that rely on sales gimmicks or hide fees. Transparent pricing is essential. Most importantly, choose a partner that delivers strong post-sales support so your company’s ongoing compliance is managed professionally, efficiently, and without errors.
