Company Secretarial Services in Singapore

Every Singapore company is required to appoint a company secretary and comply with ongoing statutory requirements. Our corporate secretarial services help businesses stay compliant with ACRA requirements, maintain statutory records, prepare corporate resolutions and handle required filings, allowing business owners to focus on running their companies.

Appointing a Company Secretary in Singapore

Every Singapore company must appoint a company secretary within six months of registration. Under the Companies Act 1967, the company secretary must be a natural person whose principal or only place of residence is in Singapore. The directors must also take reasonable steps to ensure that the secretary has the knowledge and experience required to perform the role. A sole director cannot also act as the company secretary.

Why Engage a Corporate Secretarial Service Provider?

Companies may appoint an eligible individual as company secretary or engage a professional corporate secretarial service provider to support the function. For many businesses, outsourcing the company secretary function provides ongoing support for statutory filings, corporate resolutions, maintenance of statutory registers and other corporate compliance matters.
