Starting a business in Singapore is relatively affordable compared to many other countries. However, many entrepreneurs are unsure about the actual costs involved in incorporating a company.
This guide explains the various fees associated with Singapore company registration and the ongoing costs business owners should be aware of.
How Much Does It Cost to Register a Company in Singapore?
The total cost of incorporating a company in Singapore typically consists of:
Government fees payable to ACRA
Corporate service provider fees
Registered address services (if required)
Corporate secretary services
Additional compliance services
The exact amount depends on the services included in your incorporation package.
ACRA Company Registration Fees
When incorporating a company, ACRA charges government fees for:
Company Name Application
Before incorporating a company, the proposed company name must be submitted for approval.
Company Incorporation Application
Once the company name is approved, an incorporation application must be submitted through ACRA’s BizFile system. Government fees are generally fixed and are separate from professional service fees charged by corporate service providers.
What Is Included in an Incorporation Package?
Many business owners engage a corporate service provider to handle the incorporation process.
A typical incorporation package may include:
Company name application
Company incorporation filing
Preparation of incorporation documents
Digital incorporation documents
Corporate secretary service
Registered address service
Compliance support
Some providers may also include a company stamp as part of their package.
Additional Costs After Incorporation
Incorporating a company is only the first step. Business owners should also budget for ongoing compliance requirements.
Corporate Secretary Services
Every Singapore company must appoint a corporate secretary within six months of incorporation. Professional corporate secretarial services help companies remain compliant with ACRA regulations.
Registered Address Services
Companies that do not have a commercial office may require a registered address service to receive official correspondence.
Annual Return Filing
Companies must file Annual Returns with ACRA each year to maintain compliance.
Accounting and Tax Services
Depending on the nature of the business, accounting, bookkeeping, and tax filing services may also be required.
Why Should You Avoid Choosing the Cheapest Package?
Many entrepreneurs focus solely on price when selecting an incorporation provider. However, low-cost packages may exclude important services such as:
Corporate secretary support
Registered address services
Annual compliance reminders
Director advisory support
It is important to understand exactly what is included before making a decision.
