Tips For Singapore Company Incorporation

Company Structure

During incorporation, the typical mistake is that entrepreneurs have never considered the vehicle that best fits their business i.e sole proprietorship versus Pte Ltd.

This will have a significant impact in terms of tax and business strategy in the long term.

For example, with taxable income of S$300,000 for YA2017, the effective tax rates for sole proprietorship and Pte Ltd are 13.5% and 5.7% respectively, provided certain requirements are met.

Company Name

A sound branding planning should start as early as when a company is registered. A good company name gives a good impression that helps you to stand out from other competitors.

A good company name should be positive and easy to remember. Let AG to incorporate your company and be your branding advisor to maximise the value.

Shareholder Structure

In Singapore, a new start-up company is given a full tax exemption of as much as S$200,000 for the first S$300,000 taxable income.

One of the criteria of the exemption is that the company must not have more than 20 shareholders and at least 10% of shares must be directly and beneficially held by an individual.

Business Licence

Certain businesses fall within regulated industries. Relevant business licence is required before a company can be registered.
