What founders and finance leads say after working with our Singapore team.
Questions foreign founders ask
Straight answers on cost, timing, ownership, and handling this from abroad.
How much does it cost?
Fees depend on your activity and structure. After a free consultation we give you a fixed quote with no hidden costs, covering the entity, your first year of compliance, and any licenses your activity needs.
How long does it take?
A Pte. Ltd. can be ready in a few days once your documents are in order. Bank onboarding is usually the main variable.
Do I need to be in Singapore?
No. We act as your ACRA filing agent and can arrange a resident director and company secretary, so you do not need to be in Singapore.
Can a foreigner own the company?
Yes â foreign ownership is available. You need at least one director who resides in Singapore, which we can provide as a nominee.
How much capital do I need?
There is no minimum. You can begin with as little as S$1 and add more later.
What do I get from the free consultation?
A clear recommendation on structure and ownership, the licenses your activity needs, the capital and timeline to expect, and a fixed quote. No obligation.
