Company Incorporation in Singapore

Based on company structure and governance, Singapore offers a variety of options for the type of legal entity a company is to be.

1. Sole Proprietorship

A Sole Proprietorship in Singapore is a type of company in which no legal distinction is maintained between the business owner and the company, i.e., the owner and company are one and the same entity. The individual owning the business is referred to as the sole proprietor, has unlimited liability, and can be sued in his/her or the company’s name. The sole proprietor must be ordinarily resident in Singapore.
Such a legal entity is ideal for small businesses.

2. Partnership

Partnership is similar to sole proprietorship, except in that a partnership can have more than 1 owner or partner, subject to a maximum of 20. For a partnership, a local manager must be appointed. Such a manager should be at least 18 years of age, ordinarily resident in Singapore, and not an undischarged bankrupt. Like sole proprietorship, a partnership is not considered a separate legal entity, implying that all partners are personally liable for its losses or debts.
A partnership is suited for small businesses with multiple owners.

3. Limited Partnership

A limited partnership can comprise two or more partners, with there being no limit on the maximum number of partners. A limited partnership provides for a certain degree of limited liability: one of the partners, a general partner, would bear unlimited liability and be personally liable for debts and losses of the company, while the other partners may be limited partner, not personally liable for debts or obligations of the company. The general partner and limited partners can be either individuals of at least 18 years of age or a corporate entity. In case the general partner is not ordinarily resident, a local manager who is ordinarily resident of Singaporemust be appointed.

4. Limited Liability Company

A Limited Liability Company in Singapore is a type of business entity where the liability of each shareholder is limited to their investment in the company. The economic environment in Singapore is quite favorable to an LLC if you are planning to set up a business entity to stay afloat for many years to come.

5. Limited Liability Partnership

A Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) in Singapore is a legal entity wherein the company is considered a separate legal entity from its partners, and where the liability of each partner is limited. Although the partners are held personally liable for debts and losses, this liability is restricted to debts and losses resulting from their own torts, not that of other partners.

6. Private Limited Company

A Private Limited Company in Singapore is considered a separate legal entity, distinct from its shareholders and directors. Partners are not held personally liable for the debts or obligationsof the company. Unlike the aforementioned business entities, a Private Limited Company qualifies for tax exemption schemes, setting the corporate tax at a rate of 0-17%.

7. Branch Office

A firm abroad may choose to set up its Branch Office in Singapore to start operations in the country. A branch is a part of an organization, which is incorporated to perform the same business operations the parent company performs to increase the reach.
