Common questions
No. Non-residents cannot file directly with ACRA and must use a Registered Filing Agent, and every Singapore company needs at least one resident director. Commenda, BBCIncorp, and Lanturn are all filing agents and provide a nominee director.
For a Singapore-only setup, BBCIncorp is the lowest-cost all-in first year and Lanturn bundles secretary and accounting. Commenda is the better fit for a cross-border group: it manages Singapore alongside entities in other countries, with transfer pricing and consolidation.
Both facilitate a Singapore business account through Aspire. A corporate bank account is part of entity setup, and the provider still runs its own KYC.
About S$1,800 to S$4,000 per year. BBCIncorp includes 12 months in its package; Commenda's is $2,000/year; Lanturn prices it separately. It is mandatory while you have no local director.
About one week end-to-end with Commenda (KYC, name reservation, ACRA filing, address and director setup), excluding time to gather KYC documents.
