Company in Singapore for real international business
We design the structure taking into account the local director, corporate secretary, address, controlling persons, taxes, banks and possible business relocation.
Real presence
Singapore requires a managed and transparent corporate model
The foreign owner must resolve in advance the issues of local director, address, secretary, management, reporting and work permit.
Corporate provider
Foreigners register the structure through a licensed CSP and disclose participants and controlling persons.
