What are the requirements to incorporate a company in Singapore?
- 1
Minimum One Shareholder: To register a company in Singapore, you must have at least one shareholder. The shareholder can be an individual or a corporate entity, and 100% foreign ownership is allowed. Shareholders can be residents or non-residents.
- 2
One Resident Director: At least one director must be a Singapore resident—this includes a Singapore citizen, permanent resident, or someone holding an EntrePass, Employment Pass, or S Pass. Additional foreign or local directors can also be appointed.
- 3
Company Secretary: You must appoint a qualified company secretary within six months of incorporation. The secretary must be a natural person and a Singapore resident. A director and secretary cannot be the same person if the company has only one director.

Minimum Paid-Up Capital: The minimum paid-up capital to register a private limited company is S$1. This amount can be increased at any time after incorporation to suit your business needs.

Types of companies in Singapore
When starting a business in Singapore, choosing the right entity type is a crucial first step. Each structure offers different legal, tax, and compliance implications depending on your business goals, risk appetite, and growth plans.
| Type of Company | Description | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|---|
| Private Limited Company (Pte Ltd) | A legal entity separate from its shareholders, limited by shares. |
|
|
| Sole Proprietorship | Owned and controlled by one individual. |
|
|
| Partnership | Business owned by 2 to 20 partners. |
|
|
| Limited Partnership (LP) | Has both general and limited partners. |
|
|
| Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) | Hybrid of partnership and company structure. |
|
|
Among all the available business structures in Singapore, the private limited company (Pte Ltd) is widely regarded as the most versatile and credible option for entrepreneurs and growing businesses. It offers limited liability protection, which means shareholders are only liable up to the amount they invest in the company. This safeguards personal assets and reduces financial risk for business owners.
A Pte Ltd company also provides access to corporate tax benefits, government grants, and funding opportunities that are not available to sole proprietorships or partnerships. It is the preferred structure for investors and financial institutions, offering greater flexibility in raising capital and expanding operations. Additionally, its structure allows for easier ownership transfer and continuity even if shareholders change.
While it comes with slightly more compliance obligations—such as appointing a company secretary, filing annual returns, and maintaining proper records—these are manageable with proper support. The added responsibilities are minimal compared to the benefits of credibility, growth potential, and legal protection. For businesses looking to scale and build long-term value, incorporating a Pte Ltd company remains the most strategic and future-proof choice.
