How To Register a Company In Singapore in 5 Easy Steps: Complete Guide

The next step to register a company in Singapore is to decide its corporate structure. Here are a few of the main questions you should consider:

• Who will be the shareholders of the company and what percentage of shares will each shareholder own? If you are opening a subsidiary company in Singapore, the sole shareholder will be your existing local or foreign company. If you are starting a new venture, you and your other partners — if you have any — will be the shareholders.
• Who will be the directors of the company? Who will act as its Singapore-resident director? Will you require our nominee director service?
• What will be the initial share capital of the company? As a general rule, most companies are initially incorporated with a small capital, such as SGD 100.

Singapore company registration regulations require that identification and background information about the proposed shareholders and directors of the company must be collected and verified by the firm that is incorporating the company. Below are general guidelines for the types of documents that should be provided to satisfy this requirement.
