FAQ

Questions to settle before engagement

Must the registered office be in Singapore?

Yes. A Singapore company’s registered office must be a Singapore address used for official notices and relevant company records.

Can it differ from the operating office?

Yes. The registered office serves statutory purposes, while the business may operate from another location.

Does the service include all mail forwarding?

Not necessarily. Notification, scanning, ordinary forwarding, courier and international forwarding should be confirmed in the service scope.

Can the address be printed on invoices and the website?

The permitted commercial use should be confirmed first. A statutory registered office may not be suitable for visits, licensing, storage or every marketing use.

What should be updated after an address change?

The company should update ACRA and check whether the bank, IRAS, contracts, invoices and other records also require changes.
