Clear, authoritative answers to statutory, secretarial, and incorporation inquiries for Singapore businesses.
How quickly can a Singapore private company be incorporated?
Under Singapore corporate law, once mandatory identity verification and customer due diligence (CDD) under the Corporate Service Providers Act 2024 are completed, ACRA BizFile+ lodgement is virtually instantaneous. Most standard applications are formally approved and issued an official ACRA Business Profile within 1 to 24 hours.
Does the S$600 Annual Corporate Package include ACRA filing fees?
Yes, absolutely. Unlike other service providers who bill their retainer separately and pass on unexpected disbursement invoices, our S$600 annual package fully covers the statutory S$60 ACRA Annual Return (AR) lodgement fee, along with AGM document drafting and compliance calendar monitoring.
Can foreign entrepreneurs own 100% of a Singapore company?
Yes. Under the Singapore Companies Act (Cap. 50), foreign individuals or corporate entities may hold 100% of the shareholding. The only statutory requirement is that the board of directors must include at least one ordinarily resident Singapore director (Singapore Citizen, PR, or eligible pass holder). Raffles Corporate Services provides nominee resident director services for foreign founders.
How does switching our company secretary to Raffles work?
Switching is entirely hassle-free. Raffles Corporate Services drafts the requisite Directors' Resolutions in Writing (DRIW) accepting the resignation of your previous secretary and appointing Raffles Corporate Services Pte Ltd. We coordinate with your outgoing provider to transfer your company's statutory books, registers, and common seal, and immediately update ACRA BizFile+ without business disruption.
What software tools are included in the Raffles Suite?
All active corporate secretarial clients receive complimentary access to Raffles Vault (secure cloud document storage and digital mailroom), Raffles Sign (Singapore Electronic Transactions Act compliant e-signatures), Raffles HR (payroll and payslips), Raffles Books (accounting ledger), and Raffles Flow/Board (workflow coordination). There are zero recurring software license fees.
