We, in conjunction with our channel partner, BSH Secretarial Svs Pte Ltd, offer the following corporate secretarial services services.

Incorportation of Private Limited Companies

In accordance with the Singapore Companies Act, Cap. 50, there are certain requirements that must be met in the formation of a private limited company. In this regard, we append herewith some Notes and Guidelines for your information.

A private limited company in Singapore is a separate legal entity and shareholders are not liable for the company’s debts beyond the amount of share capital they have contributed (hence the term limited liability). According to the Singapore Companies Act, any person (foreign or local) above the age of 18 can register a Singapore company.

A properly structured private limited company is a very tax efficient corporate body; hence, this form is the most common type of business entity registered in Singapore.

Notes and Guidelines

Capital Structure

There is no restriction on foreign shareholding.

Directors

A company can have one director who must be “ordinarily resident in Singapore” i.e. a Singapore citizen, a Singapore PR or a person who has been issued an Employment Pass/ Approval-In-Principal Letter/ Dependent’s pass.

If required, we could arrange for persons known to us to act as nominee directors of the proposed company to meet the statutory requirements. These persons, who would function in non-executive capacities, are neither partners nor employees of our company.

When nominee director service is required, our compliance will conduct its due diligence. The overall due diligence assessment may result in a higher annual nominee director fee and/or security deposit fee.

Shareholders

There must be at least one shareholder who can either be an individual of any nationality or a corporate company.

Paid-up Capital

Minimum paid-up capital for registration of a Singapore company is S$1 for incorporate purpose. Paid-up capital (also known as share capital) can be increased any time after the incorporation of the company.

A company is also required to have a registered office in Singapore. You must provide a local Singapore address as the registered address of the company. We will provide you our office address if you don’t have a local address and charges applies accordingly.

Filing of Annual Return and Preparation of XBRL

The annual return is an electronic form lodged with ACRA and contains important particulars of the company such as the name of the directors, secretary, its members, and the date to which the financial statements of the company are made up to. The annual return provides critical information that helps the company’s stakeholders to make informed decisions.

An annual general meeting (AGM) is a way for your company to present its financial statements (accounts) to shareholders (members). Shareholders can then ask questions about the health of your business. An AGM is therefore an important opportunity to address their concerns.

Since 1 November 2007, companies required to file financial statements with ACRA are required to file financial statements in XBRL format.

You can outsource the preparation of your Financial Statement in XBRL format to BSH Secretarial SVS Pte. Ltd. Our professionals will prepare your financial statements in accordance to requirements listed in ACRA, using the enhanced XBRL tool - BizFinx.
