How Can Foreigners Set Up A Company In Singapore?

11 min read|Last Updated: March 1, 2024|

One of the more common questions we usually get is “How to register a company in Singapore as a foreigner?”. If you’re asking the same, this article is for you. For starters, you’ll need to know that foreigners can incorporate a company in Singapore and own 100% of its shareholding.

  1. You will need to engage a registered filing agent (such as a law firm, accounting firm or corporate secretarial firm) to submit the application in BizFile+ on your behalf.
  2. One of the directors/ authorised representatives/ general partners/managers must be a local resident.

Agents usually provide services, such as:

  • Registration of company;
  • Provision of Company Secretary;
  • Provision of local nominee director;
  • Filing Annual Returns with ACRA;
  • Maintaining and updating of information with ACRA; etc.

Foreign entrepreneurs or existing Dependant Pass (DP) holders who wish to start a business in Singapore will need to consider:

  • Setting up a company with an Employment Pass (EP) or
  • Applying for an Entrepreneur Pass (EntrePass)

Why Foreigners Should Set Up A Company in Singapore?

Firstly, Singapore’s law allows local company incorporation to be completely foreign-owned. Parent companies that form Singapore-based subsidiary companies can easily enjoy all the benefits of Singapore incorporation.

Secondly, Singapore has an attractive tax regime. Local companies can take advantage of exemptions and tax breaks to pay a far lower effective rate than 17% (which is Singapore’s flat rate).

Thirdly, Singapore has enjoyed consistent social and political stability as a world class business hub. On a political stability scale from -2.5 to 2.5. Singapore is rated at an average of 1.24.

Types of Business Entity for Foreigners

We’ll focus on the whys here and leave the elaboration in our article comparing different types on company structure.

First, let’s establish that a private company limited by shares is the way to go. If this is your first business, you can get straight to registering the company.

A quick overview on the requirements for foreigner to set up a business in Singapore:

  • At least one local resident director who is a Singapore citizen, a Singapore permanent resident, or an EntrePass/Employment Pass/ Dependent’s Pass’s holder with LOC.
  • At least one Shareholder
  • S$1 paid-up capital
  • A physical local address
  • A company secretary

Types of Business Entities

Purpose & Reasons for Choosing

Subsidiaries (Foreign Subsidiary Incorporation in Singapore)
  • Clear separation of legal liabilities
  • Wholly owned subsidiaries allow HQ to keep the ratio of shareholdings fixed
Related companies
  • Flexibility in their structure
  • Shareholders and directors in the Singapore-related company can be the same as the main company.
  • Simple onboarding process for new shareholders or investors
Representative office (Foreign Representative Office)
  • Have little to no clients in the new market
  • Invoicing is still done by parent company
Branch (Foreign Branch Incorporation)
  • No separate legal entity due to commercial or tax purposes
  • E.g., a company might want to retain their tax residency status at the overseas HQ jurisdiction so having a permanent establishment in Singapore through a subsidiary or another set up might complicate that
Re-domiciliation (Foreign company Re-domiciliation to Singapore)
  • For companies that are larger in size (50 employees, S$10 million in total assets or annual revenue)
  • Require protection of all their assets, branding, and history, bringing it with them to make Singapore their new HQ.

Work Visas for Foreign Business Owners

After you incorporate a business in Singapore, you will need to get the right visa to live in Singapore and run your business.

Employment Pass (EP) vs EntrePass

There will always be a debate over an EP or EntrePass for foreign business owners. We are advocates of the Employment Pass. Why?

1. Higher application success rate

A qualified individual for EP should have a tertiary or degree certification and a minimum monthly salary of S$4,500. This will be increased in September 2022 to S$5,000.

An EntrePass candidate is intended for serial entrepreneurs, high-calibre innovators or experienced investors whose business in Singapore that is venture-backed or owns innovative technologies. In comparison, the EntrePass is daunting.

2. EP is family friendly

If you’re bringing spouse or kids in, they can apply for dependent passes attached to your EP. The qualifying salary for the EP holder is S$6,000. However, if you’re on an EntrePass, you need a total annual business spending of S$100,000 and meet local employment requirements.

3. No specific requirement for renewal

The renewal of an EP is subjective by nature. The Ministry of Manpower (MOM) looks at the company’s need for the EP holder and their capabilities of engaging him/her for another period.

The EntrePass is has a progressive renewal criteria framework. By the 2nd year, you should plan to hire at least 3 full-time employees (FTE) or 1 local professional, manager or executive (PME). Your total annual business spending by then must be at least S$100,000.

EP vs Tech.Pass

The other new pass is the Tech.Pass. A new work pass initiated in 2021, the Tech Pass is available for top-notch foreign professionals and experts who are keen to launch businesses, head corporate teams, or become a lecturer in Singapore. Example: Top-notch e-commerce, AI, and cybersecurity foreign professionals and experts. While promising, it is still a new area and lacks case studies.

Paul Hype Page & Co. has 14 years of expertise in applying for EPs, we’ve accumulated a high success rate of 93%. Heavily attributed to our insights close working relations with clients. If your EP is important to you, call us for some planning.

Can foreigner be a director of a Singapore company?

Yes. A foreigner can be a director for a company in Singapore. This can be done by setting up a registered company in Singapore through an company registration service providers.

So If you are a foreigner planning to set up company in Singapore and want become director of the company, here’s what you should need to know:

  • You must have at least one local director.

You can hire a local nominee director for 2 months and then once your company is incorporated, you can transfer the full ownership to you. In other words, you become a director in 2 months after your company is incorporated.

  • You must have at least one local secretary

Next, In order for your company registration to be successful, you must appoint one local secretary who knows about the industry and all the filings requirements of your company.

Requirements for Foreigners to register a Company in Singapore

1. Work Pass

A foreigner needs an appropriate work pass or visa before legally setting up a company in Singapore.

  • A foreigner needs an Employment Pass (EP) or an EntrePass should they wish to relocate and work in Singapore. They can now be the local director of the new business.
  • If relocation to Singapore is not possible, a nominee resident director needs to be appointed. This is done to meet its compliance and statutory requirement.
  • A foreigner can choose to have a subsidiary, a branch office, a re-domiciliation, or a representative office as an entry option when incorporating a Singapore company.

2. Company Name

The company name must meet a few basic requirements to receive quick approval during application. It must not contain vulgar or misleading words, and it cannot be linked to any national symbols or government organizations. It also cannot be similar to any existing corporate entities.

3. Director

There must be a minimum of 1 locally residing individual acting as a company director. Besides this. There are no limits on the number of local or foreign directors who can be appointed as long as the following conditions are met:

  • The person is at least 18 years of age
  • There are no bankruptcies on the person’s record
  • The person has never been convicted of a crime on record

4. Shareholders

At least one shareholder is needed. This person can be a corporate entity, a resident, or a non-resident individual. 100% foreign ownership is allowed in Singapore and a company can have up to 50 shareholders.

5. Corporate Secretary

A qualified company secretary must be appointed within 6 months after the company is incorporated. This person needs to be a naturalized resident.

6. Paid-up Capital

A paid-up capital of at least SGD $1 is required when setting up a new private limited company. However, it is encouraged that a foreigner applying for an Employment Pass offer at least SGD $100,000 in paid-up capital. Not only does this make a strong first impression on any potential clients, but it is also a requirement for businesses working on government projects.

Challenges of Company Registration as a Foreigner

After you register a company business in Singapore, you will need a corporate bank account next. Not long ago, back in 2018, bank account openings used to be form-filling task and some administrative efforts. Now, there is strict enforcement of anti-money laundering (AML) frameworks and common reporting standards (CRS).

Some realistic problems you might face include:

1. Grants don’t apply to you

Local government grants generally have a requirement for 30% local shares in a company – one such example is the Market Readiness Assistance (MRA) grant that supports Singaporean companies in expanding overseas.

2. Other forms of financing are also difficult

Without an operational history, bank loans are difficult to get. If you’re founding a startup, the competition to obtain investments by venture capitalists are even more demanding.

3. Work visa renewal

Getting financing is difficult, but if your company is left dormant without revenue, it’s difficult to justify the need for you to stay in Singapore.

Most of the times, directors are not in Singapore to open their accounts. While most banks support remote account openings now, the trouble is in It results in banks wanting to see tax substance in a company.

Common indicators of tax substance include:

  • Local staff in Singapore
  • Physical office in Singapore
  • Local sales or suppliers in Singapore

Things to Take Note After Setting Up a Company in Singapore for Foreigners

1. Business licenses

Doing business in Singapore is generally easy, most general consulting and service businesses don’t need a license. However, watch out for anything that might relate to specific industries like F&B, construction, finance, education, and more.

2. Open a Corporate bank account

After your Singapore company registration, the next step would be to open your corporate bank account.

Corporate bank account openings used to be a breeze back in 2018. 3 years and a pandemic later, most account openings can be done remotely but AML regulations are stricter than ever.

What used to be a form filling administrative task is now a presentation of whether your business has viable tax substance.

Your best-case scenario is if you are physically in Singapore for your account opening, or if you have an EP. If not, be ready to provide an executive summary of your business nexus in Singapore.

2. Office rental

Co-working spaces are the trend now. Most of them concentrated in the city area. We do have co-working spaces for rent – reach out to us if you ever need a working space.

3. Talent hiring

While hiring, act according to the Fair Consideration Framework of MOM which encourages local hiring before hiring foreigners.

4. Annual compliance

It’s relatively easy in Singapore to maintain your company. If your company doesn’t have specific taxes like goods and services tax (GST) or withholding tax (WHT), your compliance can be done just once a year. Make sure to consult with your accountants or company secretaries for this.

5. Living in Singapore

A very easily overlooked matter among the craze of setting up your business in Singapore as a foreigner. Some of the questions that you may have:

  • What’s the plan with the accommodation?
  • What’s the transportation like?
  • Do you need to convert your driving license?
  • Do you need to be vaccinated?

If you’re a foreigner relocating, you’ll have to think about living arrangements, tax implications, healthcare and so much more. You can either read more about the expat life in Singapore.

Conclusion

All things considered, if you’re looking to register your company in Singapore as a foreigner, having a local service provider heavily involved and supporting your operations would be a definite advantage.

For 14 years, Paul Hype Page & Co. has been coming up with creative solutions for our client’s EP applicationsbank account opening, company secretary, and Filing Company Tax.

FAQs

I don’t want to be taxed by both the Singapore government and the country where my company headquarters are based. How do I avoid this?2024-01-14T11:08:42+08:00

Singapore has double tax agreements (DTA) with many countries in order to prevent companies and individuals from being taxed by both jurisdictions.

If your company operates out of a country that has a tax treaty with Singapore, the DTA may provide relief from double taxation. Do note that this depends on the particular service your company provides, as well as the specific provisions of the DTA in your country.

Can a foreigner incorporate a company in Singapore and own 100% of the equity of the company?2024-01-14T11:03:47+08:00

Yes. Shareholders can be a local or foreign, individual, or corporate entity. These shareholders can own 100% of the equity of the Singapore company.

Can a director of My Singapore Company be a foreigner?2024-01-14T11:05:13+08:00

All Singapore companies should have at least one director who is a Singapore Citizen or one who holds a Singapore permanent resident or an employment pass holder. However, a foreign director can be appointed alongside the local director.

Can a foreigner set up Sole Proprietorship in Singapore?2024-01-14T11:07:22+08:00

Yes, foreigners can register a sole proprietorship in Singapore. Nonetheless, if they live outside of Singapore, they must appoint an authorized representative who is a legal resident in Singapore.

  • Sole Proprietorship
  • Partnership
Can a Nominee Director be a Foreigner?2024-01-14T11:05:45+08:00

No, a nominee director cannot be a foreigner. This is because a nominee director is appointed to fulfill the requirement of at least one local director of a Singapore company, thus, no foreigner is allowed. 

Can anyone from any country receive an Employment Pass?2020-06-24T14:32:54+08:00

Foreigners have additional options such as the representative office, foreign branch, and foreign subsidiary.

        Thanks Paul, much appreciated for a quick revert. In terms of setting up a company and paperwork associated, do you provide any services? And what is the b st way to contact please? I assume once that is done he will need to different visa than a Dependent Pass?

        Also in terms of his remote working, assume any tax implications need to be fulfilled on the basis of Indian Tax structure? Are there any implications of Double tax at all until the time he sets up and starts his work in Singapore?

        Many thanks

    Hi Paul

    I was wondering if you could help me with setting up a business in Singapore. I am planning to put up a fastfood chain franchise in Singapore. I would like to know the step by step process. I am a Filipino Citizen but I am a permanent resident of Australia. Also, I would like to know what type of visa should I be applying for and is it troublesome to apply for one? How long does it usually take to process all the required documents? Do I need to provide a bank statement when applying?
    Thanks so much

      Hi Kumar,

      Thanks for your inquires.

      As your current EP is strictly tied to one particular company only, it is not possible to obtain another working pass unless you resign from the bank you are working for now. However, it is still possible to set up a company under a nominee director and if you have any of your family members who can play a role of foreign director, this is also an option for your case.

      Our incorporation services charges start from $1,955 as you can see from our link below.

      There are no requirements for minimum paid-up capital when incorporating a private limited.
      There are many advantages for a Pte Ltd company setup especially for foreign investors. Its protects your personal assets and also provides tax benefits by Singapore. Additionally, A Pte Ltd company also allows shareholders and foreign directors to apply for employment pass.

    Hi,

    I’m from Philippines and I have a small business here where I sell skin care made in the Philippines and some cosmetics that I import from other countries to sell. I would like to also sell in Singapore so I am looking for a guideline on how I can make it possible. What are the clearances, application do I need? I don’t have workers, I am a sole proprietor.
    Hope you can guide me accordingly.
    Thank you and have a great day!

    Regards,
    Angel
