Guidance on company name, SSIC, shareholding and officer details.
Preparation and filing support for Singapore private limited company incorporation.
Secretary, registered office, accounting and tax compliance support after incorporation.
A clean incorporation is not only about receiving a UEN. The company should be set up with a sensible name, SSIC activity, shareholding structure, paid-up capital, officer appointments, registered office, tax calendar and post-incorporation document pack that match how the business will actually operate.
Before filing, founders should confirm who will hold shares, who will act as director, whether the company needs a local resident director, and whether shares are held personally or through another company. Changing structure later may require resolutions, share transfers, tax review or bank explanations.
The SSIC and business description should reflect the actual commercial activity. A vague or inaccurate activity can create problems for bank account opening, licensing review, contracts, GST assessment and future compliance documents.
After incorporation, the company needs statutory registers, first board resolutions, bank account documents, accounting records, tax deadlines and annual return planning. A founder who prepares these items early avoids rushed cleanup at year end.
Company secretarial and accounting work are linked. ACRA Annual Return, financial statements, IRAS filing, dormant status, dividends and director fees all depend on accurate company records and financial information.
Local founders often focus on price and speed, while foreign founders often focus on director and bank requirements. Both groups should also think about risk, documentation and future filings. A company that is incorporated quickly but has poor records may face unnecessary delay when applying for loans, onboarding customers, changing shareholders or closing the company later.
The company secretary should be appointed within the required timeframe and should help maintain statutory records from the start. The registered office address should be stable and suitable for receiving official notices. Directors should understand that ACRA filings and IRAS tax filings are separate obligations, even though they both depend on the company’s financial year end and accounting records.
Paid-up capital can often be low for a simple private company, but a practical capital amount should consider banking, licensing, commercial credibility, immigration needs and expected operating expenses. ProSec can help founders think through these questions before incorporation instead of treating them as afterthoughts.

A Singapore private limited company can be incorporated with at least one shareholder, one locally resident director, a company secretary and a Singapore registered office address. Before filing, ProSec will normally check the proposed ownership, director arrangement, registered office, business activity and required documents.
In many ordinary cases, a foreign individual or foreign company may own 100% of a Singapore private limited company. The more practical issue is usually not ownership, but the need for a locally resident director, proper KYC documents, registered office and ongoing filings.
For a straightforward case with a clear company name, complete KYC documents and no regulated activity concerns, incorporation can often be completed quickly after information is ready. If the name or business activity needs further review, the timeline can be longer.
You should prepare the proposed company name, business activity, shareholder details, director details, registered office arrangement, paid-up capital, contact details and identity documents. For foreign shareholders, we may also request proof of address and a short business background.
A Singapore company must appoint a company secretary within the required statutory timeframe. In practice, most new companies arrange the secretary from the start so that statutory registers, resolutions and post-incorporation filings are handled properly.
It depends on the package. A registered office address is required for the company, but the address service, mail handling and any forwarding arrangement should be confirmed before incorporation.
Company incorporation and bank account opening are separate matters. ProSec can prepare common corporate documents and guide you on the process, but the bank will conduct its own KYC, business and risk review before approving an account.
After incorporation, you should keep proper company records, issue shares correctly, appoint or confirm company officers, maintain accounting records, monitor tax filing requirements and file annual returns when due. This is why incorporation should be planned together with ongoing compliance.
Yes. If your company already exists, we can review the current ACRA profile, officer details, shareholder structure and filing history before advising whether a secretary takeover, accounting cleanup or compliance update is needed.
Additional fees may apply if the company has complex ownership, regulated or sensitive business activities, urgent deadlines, incomplete records, multiple shareholders, foreign corporate shareholders, or post-incorporation changes that are not part of a standard setup package.
