Singapore Incorporation

🇸🇬 Singapore Company Registration

Starting a company in Singapore is one of the easiest in the world. The entire process is digital, fast, and investor-friendly. Here’s a simple breakdown of how it works and what Cadrehub does for you.

1️⃣ Choose the Right Company Structure

The most common type is:

✔️ Private Limited Company (Pte Ltd)

This is preferred because it offers:

• Limited liability
• 100% foreign ownership

2️⃣ Minimum Requirements (Very Simple)

To register a company in Singapore, you only need:

That’s it. No complex documents or high capital needed.
