What Singapore companies are used for
Singapore is one of the leading business and financial centres of Asia, with a stable legal system, a simple and fast registry and a wide network of tax treaties. Many international groups place their regional headquarters, trading, shipping and holding companies there, alongside an active economy of wealth management, technology start-ups and professional services. The private company limited by shares (Pte. Ltd.) is the standard form, often as an exempt private company; public companies, limited liability partnerships, limited partnerships, branches of foreign companies and variable capital companies for investment funds complete the picture, and sole proprietorships and partnerships are registered as businesses.
Typical company documents
The usual documents of a Singapore company are its notice of incorporation, its constitution, its business profile (the register extract), its annual returns and financial statements, and the filings of each change: appointments and cessations of directors and secretaries, allotments and transfers of shares, changes of registered office, changes of name, amalgamations, striking off and winding up.
Financial statements
Companies file an annual return with ACRA, and most of them file their financial statements with it. Solvent exempt private companies are not required to file their financial statements.
Directors
Every company has at least one director ordinarily resident in Singapore and a company secretary. The directors, the secretary and the auditors are recorded with ACRA, with each appointment and cessation, and appear in the company's business profile.
Shareholders
ACRA keeps the register of members of private companies, so their shareholders and shareholdings appear in the business profile. Public companies keep their own register of members.
Beneficial ownership
Companies and limited liability partnerships keep a register of their registrable controllers and file it with ACRA's central register, which is open to the authorities and not to public search.
Company numbers
Every company, partnership and business is identified by its Unique Entity Number (UEN), issued on registration and used with every government agency. A search by number finds an exact company faster than a search by name.
