First, we check if your desired company name is available. Then, we require you to send us your IC or passport copy, details on directors and shareholders, etc. Next, we help you get all the necessary documents prepared and ask for your electronic signature. Once they’re all signed off, we submit them to ACRA. After a UEN has been issued, your company is ready to operate!

It usually takes 1 - 3 hours to incorporate a company. It mostly depends on how quickly all the details can be ready to be submitted and the number of stakeholders in the company. If the company registration has to be referred to another government agency for further checking, the process can take weeks

When your Singapore company has been incorporated, we will send an official email with your company profile and certificate of incorporation attached for free.
