Healy Consultants has helped hundreds of clients complete their Singapore company registration for a wide variety of purposes. While the nature of our clients' businesses vary, our service standards do not. Following is information for entrepreneurs wishing to undertake Singapore company registration:

Companies in Singapore are under the authority of the Singapore Companies Act 1963, which governs Singapore company registration processes.

Singapore company law states that every Singapore company must appoint a director who is resident in Singapore, although there are no restrictions on the number of directors a company may have. That said, a Singapore company is only allowed individual directors - corporate directors are not allowed.

Should our clients have difficulties finding a resident director of their own, Healy Consultants offers Singapore resident director services to meet the regulations of the Singapore Companies Act 1963. Our managing director Aidan Healy will act as Singapore resident director for a Singapore company of a client who requires this service. Aidan Healy will be a director of the company in name only and will have no other powers or responsibilities.

From the start of 2009, all Singapore company registration including businesses, local companies, limited liability partnerships (LLPs), societies, representative offices, healthcare institutions and trade unions, will have a Unique Entity Number (UEN) as its identification number. The UEN has the same role as the NRIC for Singapore citizens. More information can be found on the IRAS website.

There are a number of options for Singapore company registration. The different business structures are: i) Sole Proprietorship, ii) Partnership, iii) Limited Liability Partnership (LLP), iv) Company and v) Limited Partnership (LP). Detailed features of these forms of registering a company in Singapore can be found on the ACRA website.

The Singapore government is proactive in attracting entrepreneurs and investors to Singapore. More details can be found in this article regarding the incentives for registering a company in Singapore.
