Singapore allows 100% foreign ownership of a Private Limited company with no local shareholding requirements.

What is a Singapore Private Limited (Pte Ltd) company?
A Pte Ltd is a separate legal entity limited by shares. It offers limited liability protection, 100% foreign ownership, and access to Singapore’s territorial tax system. It is globally respected and ideal for startups, e-commerce, trading, and holding companies.
Do I need a local director? What is a Nominee Director?
Yes — Singapore law requires at least one director who is ordinarily resident in Singapore. A Nominee Director is a qualified local professional we appoint to meet this requirement. They have no operational control, no bank access, and act only for statutory compliance.
How does the 0% tax on foreign income work?
Singapore uses a territorial tax system. Foreign-sourced income is generally exempt from tax if it is not remitted into Singapore. New companies can further benefit from the Startup Tax Exemption Scheme on the first S$200,000 of qualifying income.
How long does incorporation take?
The entire process is remote and usually completed in 1–5 business days once all KYC documents and payment are received. Name reservation happens within 24 hours, followed by ACRA filing.
Is a Corporate Secretary mandatory?
Yes. Every Pte Ltd must appoint a qualified Corporate Secretary (a Singapore resident) within 6 months of incorporation. All our packages include this service for the first year.
Can I open a bank account remotely?
Many banks allow remote or video onboarding. We provide warm introductions to Singapore and international banks suitable for foreign-owned companies. Success depends on your business profile and industry.
What are the ongoing compliance requirements?
Annual requirements include filing annual returns with ACRA, preparing financial statements, and submitting tax returns to IRAS. You must maintain a local registered office and keep proper accounting records.
Is my company safe with a Nominee Director?
Yes — when provided through a licensed Corporate Service Provider with proper indemnity agreements. The nominee has no authority over bank accounts or daily operations. All decisions remain with the shareholders.
What documents do I need to provide?
Typically: notarized passport copy, proof of address (utility bill/bank statement), completed KYC questionnaire, and business activity details.
Can I use the company for crypto, e-commerce, or high-risk activities?
Yes, but banks and regulators apply enhanced due diligence. We recommend our High-Risk Processing or Crypto Gateway services where appropriate. Singapore’s framework helps legitimate businesses gain credibility.
