Regulatory & Licensing Considerations (Singapore)

Singapore company incorporation does not require a general business license for standard commercial activities.

This solution is suitable for:

International holding & operating companies
FinTech, IT & SaaS businesses
International founders & shareholders
Companies requiring strong banking reputation
Compliance-driven long-term operations

However, certain regulated industries (financial services, payment services, fintech, crypto, gambling, fund management) may require additional approvals from MAS or other regulators.

Statutory filings & regulatory obligations

To keep the company in good standing, annual renewal is required.

Annual maintenance includes:

renewal of the registered office address;
extension of local nominee director services for one year;
payment of mandatory registry and government fees;
administrative support;
update of power of attorney, if required.

Company annual domiciliary fee: EUR 11,050
