MORE INFORMATION ON SINGAPORE COMPANY INCORPORATION

Our Singapore company incorporation fees depend on the client and type of Singapore company incorporation process. For example, the process of foreign company setup in Singapore is different from a local Singaporean or PR setting up a business in Singapore.
In addition, there are different rules and regulations for incorporating a company in Singapore, depending on the entity type and industry that your new company is in.

What is ACRA?

ACRA is stands for the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority. ACRA is part of the Singapore government and is the national regulator for all company incorporation activities islandwide. ACRA has the responsibility of making sure that all entrepreneurs going through the Singapore company incorporation process have met all criterias.

ACRA will also send out invitations and letters to companys’ shareholders and directors if a new company is required to file any legal documents pertaining to its business activities in Singapore. Therefore, it is important to check your email and be a lookout for emails from ACRA. “Accidentally” missing out on important notices could result in fines and imprisonments.

ACRA’s Singapore Company Incorporation Fees

All Singaporean entrepreneurs can go through the company incorporation process without the assitance of a incorporation consultancy firm. Entrepreneurs can do so via the BizFile portal on ACRA’s website. Local citizens and Singapore Permanenet Residents (PRs) can access the BizFile portal using their SingPass ID. ACRA does charge several fees to set up a company, including a SGD $15 company name application fee and SGD $300 incorporation application fee.

However, note that foreigners in Singapore can’t go through the foreign company set up in Singapore process without a Singapore company incorporation service provider.

This law is decided by ACRA. In addition, ACRA requires all local and overseas entrepreneurs to have a local address when setting up a new company in Singapore.

Most corporate secretarial firms in Singapore provide incorporation packages costing between S$500 and S$1,500 depending on the precise scope of services needed, though they may charge more for more complex services. Without the assistance of WLP Group, it is possible to make many mistakes during the incorporation application.

Minor mistakes could set back your incorporation application by a few weeks whereas serious errors could result in delays by months and fines by the Singapore government.
