Frequently Asked Questions
Singapore law requires that a non-resident person setting up a company in Singapore needs a Singaporean resident to act as a director to bind the company so that it can operate legally and legally in Singapore. Therefore, if you do not have a candidate to act as a director of your Singapore company, you can use the services of Upper House to match you with a Singapore Nominee Director.
The name of the company may be in any language. Its limited liability status must be reflected by the abbreviation “PTE. LTD” at the end of the company name. The use of the words “bank”, “association”, “university”, “charity”, “architect” and related words in the name of the company is subject to conditions;.
At least one shareholder is required to register a Singapore company. This can be a natural person or a company. The Singapore Government does not have any requirements or restrictions on the nationality or legal domicile of the shareholders of a Singapore company.
No capital verification is required for the registration of a Singapore company.
The company's registered capital must be used for the company's day-to-day operating costs, such as paying for goodscosts, to pay accountants, to pay for the services of TKEG Expat.
Two directors is generally preferable for later bank account opening, because banks usually require two director signatures. With only one director, a provider/nominee director must assist and pass the bank's risk control, which is more complicated. If the client insists on a single individual director, an additional witness (with passport and ID provided) is typically also required to co-sign.
For a Singapore incorporation, background-company information is requested because a client choosing to incorporate in Singapore is generally expected to have relevant prior business or company experience supporting that decision. Details of any companies the client has previously participated in or held should be provided to support due diligence.
Where a Singapore incorporation involves nominee/proxy shareholding, an Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) package must be verified before proceeding, typically including: a completed EDD form; the client's business background and source-of-funds explanation with related-company information, tax-clearance proof and bank statements; the fully signed nominee/proxy-holding agreement; the commercial rationale for using the nominee service; identification of the ultimate controller and UBO (with ID, address proof and CV); an explanation of bank-account control; a description of the business model; and a list of main customers and suppliers (with countries).
Nominee (named) directors are not provided for a Singapore company that has genuine operating activity. Publishing and media-related business scopes or company names are more likely to be scrutinised by the registry (ACRA), which may raise follow-up queries. If a proposed name is rejected, a name re-submission fee applies; and if registration cannot proceed because the client is unable to cooperate with the registry's queries, a document withdrawal/cancellation fee applies.
A nominee (shadow) director for a Singapore company must be attached to a licensed Corporate Service Provider (CSP), which conducts a Fit and Proper assessment of the nominee. This incurs additional charges, typically a nominee-director registration fee plus an annual risk-control fee. A 'Fit and Proper Assessment Form - Nominee Director' must be completed, with the relevant section filled in and signed personally by the nominee director, and the client must disclose any related/affiliated/sister companies or past employers.
