Decisions before filing
Points to confirm before incorporation
These decisions affect the registration form and the company’s first compliance deadlines.
Local resident directorAt least one eligible resident director is required
Confirm who will act as the locally resident director. If no suitable person is available, complete the separate nominee director assessment before filing.
Registered officeA Singapore address is required from incorporation
Confirm the address, permitted use and mail access. The S$500 incorporation fee does not include ProSec’s registered office service.
Company secretaryAppointment is required within six months
A sole director cannot also act as company secretary. Select an appropriate secretary package based on expected filings, resolutions and company changes.
Business activity and SSICCodes should match the actual revenue activities
Describe what the company will sell, who it will serve and how it will earn revenue. ProSec can help identify suitable SSIC codes and flag activities that may need separate licensing.
Financial year endThe FYE affects later filing deadlines
Choose an FYE that fits the intended accounting cycle and group reporting needs. It will affect ECI, tax and Annual Return preparation.
Share capital and ownershipConfirm the amount, currency and share allocation
A company that requires share capital can start with at least S$1. The filing must state the issued shares and the allocation to each shareholder.

FAQ
Singapore company incorporation questions
These answers cover the price, timing, ownership, required officers and information needed before filing.
How much does it cost to incorporate a company in Singapore?
ProSec's local company incorporation service costs S$500 as a one-time fee. It includes the S$15 company name application fee, S$300 company registration fee and the incorporation filing work. Company secretary, registered office, nominee director, accounting, tax and bank account services are separate.
How long does Singapore company incorporation take?
Where the information is complete, the name has been approved and ACRA does not refer the application for additional review, registration commonly takes 1 to 2 business days. ACRA states that complex applications may take up to 15 working days and applications referred to another authority may take 14 to 60 days.
Can a foreigner own 100% of a Singapore company?
A foreign individual or company may generally hold all the shares in a Singapore private limited company. The company must still have at least one director who meets Singapore's local residency requirement, a Singapore registered office and a company secretary appointed within six months.
Do I need a local resident director?
Yes. A Singapore company must have at least one director who is ordinarily resident in Singapore and meets the applicable eligibility requirements. Nominee director service is assessed and charged separately.
Do I need a company secretary immediately after incorporation?
The company secretary does not have to be appointed on the incorporation date, but ACRA requires the appointment within six months after registration. A sole director cannot also act as the company secretary.
What is the minimum paid-up capital?
A company that requires share capital can start with at least S$1 in share capital. The appropriate amount and share allocation should reflect the owners' intended funding and ownership arrangement.
Can ProSec help choose the SSIC code?
Yes. ProSec can review the proposed revenue-generating activities and help identify a suitable primary and secondary SSIC code. The company should also confirm whether its activity requires a separate licence or approval.
Is a registered office address included?
No. The S$500 incorporation fee does not include registered office service. You may provide an eligible Singapore address or engage ProSec's registered office service separately.
Does incorporation include bank account opening?
No. Company incorporation and bank onboarding are separate. ProSec can help organise company documents, but each bank performs its own KYC review and decides whether to open the account.
What should I prepare before contacting ProSec?
Prepare one or two proposed company names, a clear business description, the intended shareholders and directors, identity and address documents, ownership percentages, a Singapore registered office, the financial year end, initial share capital and source-of-funds information where relevant.
