Company Formation

Which business structure is right for me?

It depends on your ownership, activities, liability considerations and growth plans. We can discuss the available structures and help you identify what to consider before deciding.

Can you help an overseas company enter Singapore?

Yes. Our formation offering includes foreign company branches, subsidiaries and representative offices. The appropriate structure and requirements depend on your circumstances.

What do I need to prepare?

Expect to discuss your proposed company name, business activities, ownership and directors. We will confirm the documentation and applicable requirements for your intended structure.

Company Secretarial

What does a company secretary help with?

Support can include statutory registers, meeting administration, ACRA filings, share matters and annual returns. We will confirm the services relevant to your company and the agreed engagement scope.

Can you support changes to my company?

Yes. We can assist with corporate records and filings related to share matters and other company changes. Tell us what is changing so we can establish the appropriate next steps.

Do you offer registered office or nominee services?

These services are included in our broader offering. Availability, suitability, eligibility and terms must be confirmed for your specific circumstances.

Tax & Accounting

Can you support both accounting and tax?

Yes. Our offering covers bookkeeping, accounting, financial reporting, corporate and personal income tax, and GST. We can agree a combination of services around your needs.

We support GST accounting, report preparation, filing, registration and de-registration, as well as audit and document coordination. Obligations and eligibility depend on current requirements and your circumstances.

Immigration & Work Passes

Which types of applicants do you support?

We support entrepreneurs, professionals and organisations, with services spanning employment, dependant and residence application categories.

How do I know which pass to apply for?

The appropriate category depends on the applicant and employer circumstances. Share your plans with us so we can discuss relevant requirements and options.

Is approval guaranteed?

No. All applications remain subject to the relevant authority’s requirements and decisions. We do not guarantee approval or a specific processing timeline.

Strategic Value Services

When should I consider outsourced CFO support?

If you need financial management insight beyond routine bookkeeping, outsourced CFO support may be worth discussing. We can explore your planning, reporting and decision-making needs.

We can discuss applicable funding and assistance opportunities. Eligibility and approval depend on the relevant programme and your circumstances; funding is not guaranteed.

Does a valuation guarantee my business’s sale price?
