Before you get started
Before you set up in Singapore
Answers on ownership, remote setup, budgets and ongoing company obligations.
Can foreigners own a company in Singapore?
Yes. A Singapore private limited company can be wholly foreign-owned. Ownership and local management are separate rules: the company still needs at least one director who is ordinarily resident in Singapore. If you do not have one, we provide a nominee director so you can still own the company outright.
Do I need someone based in Singapore?
Yes. A company must have at least one director who is ordinarily resident in Singapore and a registered office address in Singapore. We arrange the nominee director, registered address and corporate secretary if you need them.
Can I establish the company without moving to Singapore?
Yes. You can own a Singapore company while living overseas. Remote incorporation depends on completing identity checks and the required documents. Banking and immigration have their own requirements, which we review separately with you.
How much should I budget for the first year?
Look beyond registration fees. Your budget may include corporate secretarial services, a registered address, a nominee director, accounting, tax filings and work passes. The scope depends on your business, so ask our team for a quote based on your plans.
How long does company registration take?
Once your documents are complete, ACRA usually approves a straightforward incorporation within one to two business days. Name approval, foreign corporate shareholders or regulated activities can add time. We confirm the timeline after reviewing your activities and ownership.
Can Emerhub help after incorporation?
Yes. Our support continues with corporate secretarial work, accounting, tax, payroll, immigration and ongoing compliance. You can work with the same team as your needs change.
Can you support our expansion beyond Singapore?
Yes. Emerhub has teams across Southeast Asia, including in Indonesia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines. We can coordinate your next market alongside your Singapore operations.
