Healy Consultants has helped several 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. The following information is for entrepreneurs looking to complete company registration in Singapore:

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 problems 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.

There are many 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).

From the start of 2009, all companies registered in Singapore 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.
