While the global economy may have hit a recession, many resilient entrepreneurs are still looking for opportunities to start their own business. If you regard yourself as an entrepreneur who never gives up, consider running a business in Singapore. With business-friendly policies and politically stable environment, this country consistently ranks as one of the best places to start a business or expand your operations.
This article explores 4 great reasons on what makes Singapore attractive to overseas investors and firms.
1. Policies that enable businesses to succeed
As a foreign investor, you can have up to 100% non-local shareholding in a company incorporated in Singapore, with no limits as to how much you can repatriate in profits.
If your business is a start-up, there are many schemes that can help you thrive. Programs like Startup SG can help you to build capacity, mobilise funding, and grow successful teams for your business.
2. Great location and skilled talents
Singapore is a fantastic geographic location with one of the world’s best airports, highways, seaports, rail network and telecommunications system. It is the gateway to the ASEAN region.
In Singapore, many citizens are bilingual and highly educated. The local workforce is recognised for its high level of education, technical proficiency, work productivity and work-hard culture. They are also joined by other professionals from across the globe who bring with them their extensive knowledge and business expertise. You will have plenty of talent options when it comes to hiring and forming a successful team.
3. Fantastic tax regime for businesses
Singapore applies a tiered corporate tax system, where new firms are able to receive tax breaks after incorporation for the first 3 consecutive assessment years. In addition, Singapore’s 17% corporate tax is also one of the lowest in the world.
