Setting up a business in Singapore

To set up a business in Singapore, you will need to go through the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA), which administers the registration of businesses in Singapore.

Setting up a business is simple, fast and problem-free. All applications to register a new business are submitted online and businesses are usually registered within 15 minutes of the S$65 registration fee being paid (registration fee of S$50 and name approval fee of S$15).

As part of its pro-enterprise and pro-business philosophy, ACRA provides you a one-stop shop by integrating the services of multiple agencies such as the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS) , SPRING Singapore. This allows you to sign up for a whole suite of services once your new business entity is successfully registered.
