An introduction to the process of starting a business in Singapore...
The primary ACRA Singapore Government website is a good starting place to find information about business in Singapore.
Individuals and companies registering business firms need not be Singaporeans or incorporated in Singapore. However, a person who is not a permanent resident must apply for an Employment Pass if they intend to be actively involved in the day-to-day running of the business in Singapore.
The Government SME Portal offers foreign entrepreneurs useful information on starting a business in Singapore, links to government assistance schemes and visa arrangements, as well as working and living in Singapore. It is also a portal that provides government-to-business contents and e-services, aggregated from 30 government agencies.
The Accounting & Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA) regulates all business activities and can advise prospective applicants about the required procedures. Application forms are available from ACRA online.
