Company Registration Process in Singapore

1. Company Name Reservation

Before you can register your company, you need to reserve a company name with ACRA. The name should be unique, meaningful, and free of any vulgar or obscene words. ACRA typically approves the name reservation within an hour unless there are certain words in the name that might require review by other authorities.

2. Prepare Necessary Documentation

You need to prepare the necessary documentation for company registration. This includes the Memorandum of Association (MOA) and Articles of Association (AOA). The MOA states the company's activities, while the AOA outlines the company's rules and regulations.

3. Register the Company

Once the company name has been approved and the necessary documents have been prepared, you can proceed to register the company with ACRA. This process is done online via the BizFile+ portal. You will need to provide details about the company's business activities, shareholders, directors, and company secretary.

4. Pay the Registration Fee

There is a registration fee that needs to be paid to ACRA. The fee is S$300 for company registration and S$15 for name approval.

5. Obtain the Certificate of Incorporation

After the registration process is complete and the fees have been paid, ACRA will send an email notification confirming the incorporation of the company. You can also request a physical copy of the certificate of incorporation for a fee.

6. Open a Corporate Bank Account

After the company has been incorporated, you will need to open a corporate bank account in Singapore. The requirements for opening a bank account can vary between banks, so it's advisable to check with the specific bank.

7. Register for Goods and Services Tax (GST)

If your company's annual revenue exceeds S$1 million, you must register for GST. This is a consumption tax levied on the supply of goods and services in Singapore and the import of goods into Singapore.

8. Understand the Ongoing Compliance Requirements

After the company has been registered, there are ongoing compliance requirements that need to be met. These include filing annual returns with ACRA, preparing financial statements, and filing tax returns with the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS).
