• The basic company structure requires at least 1 shareholder, 1 director, and 1 company secretary.
• For a Singapore local company that is 100% foreign-owned, the director must be a Singapore citizen, Singapore permanent resident, or an Employment Pass holder.
• Anyone aged 18 or above may be appointed as a director. However, certain persons (such as undischarged bankrupts) are not eligible to act as a director.
• Complete details relating to the company registration must be provided, such as the paid-up capital, business scope, and information on shareholders and directors.
• Before carrying out certain categories of business activities, a company may need to obtain a licence in advance — for example a Public Entertainment Licence, a food shop licence, or an advertising licence. The nature of the business activity should be determined before registering the business or company.
