The Singapore Registrar of Companies has a computerized system, so the process is fast and efficient. Registration only takes 2 steps and it's usually done in one day:
Getting your company's name approved.The actual registration of your company.
After you pick a cool name for your business, we file the application for you as part of our service.
This part of the process can take less than an hour unless you want to use special words (like bank, finance, law, media) that need special approval.
In that case it might take a few days.
It is crucial to choose a name that is unique, or not too similar to an existing company. Make sure it doesn't infringe any trademarks. Also, it's wise not to use a name that is internationally registered.
And of course it cannot be vulgar, or already in use or reserved.
Once approved, the name is reserved for 60 days. This can be extended for another 60 days by filing an extension right before expiry.
Once your company name has been approved, we will file the approval along with the incorporation application. Assuming that all documentation and supporting evidence is in order, registration forms can be ready for signing by the director(s) and shareholders(s) of the new company in a matter of hours. Rarely are there any delays. A S$300 registration fee is payable at the time of incorporating a private company.
Congratulations! You are now the proud CEO of your company.
This means you get two documents (the Notification of Incorporation and a Company Business Profile).
In Singapore, they are enough for all legal and contractual purposes. Those could include: opening corporate bank accounts, signing office leases,
subscribing to telephone/internet services, etc.
The Company Registrar will send an official email notification confirming the incorporation of the company. This includes the company registration number. This email stands as the official certificate of incorporation in Singapore. If you prefer a hard copy, you can apply online after incorporation, but there is a charge of approx. S$50. You can take the hard copy the very next day from the office of the registrar.
A business profile containing the details of the company can be obtained from the Company Registrar by making a request online and paying a small application fee. The PDF document is downloadable within an hour of the request and contains the following key details:
