FAQ
Questions to settle before engagement
Can a foreigner own all shares in a Singapore company?
In many ordinary cases, yes. The company still needs a locally resident director, registered office, company secretary and complete KYC documents.
Does S$1,000 include nominee director service?
No. S$1,000 is the one-time company registration fee. Nominee director support requires separate due diligence and an additional agreement.
Does S$1,000 include ACRA official fees?
Yes. The fee includes the S$15 name application fee and S$300 company registration fee.
Must the foreign shareholder travel to Singapore?
Incorporation can often be coordinated remotely, although identity verification, document certification or bank onboarding may require additional participation.
Can ProSec guarantee a bank account?
No. ProSec can organise company and business documents, but the bank decides whether to open an account.
