Who this jurisdiction suits
- Reputation and regulatory quality among the best in the world.
- Substantial reliefs for young companies.
- Excellent banking access once obtained.
What it does not solve
- A resident director is mandatory, and is the heaviest recurring item.
- A trip is generally necessary for account opening.
Conditions to meet
Demanding but excellent once obtained. A trip is generally necessary.
A director resident in Singapore is mandatory, as is a company secretary. That is the heavy item, and it weighs more than the registered office itself.

Where these figures come from
Recorded on 21 September 2026, jurisdiction by jurisdiction. Rates and thresholds move, and they depend on your shareholding, your activity and your residence: we revalidate every point with a licensed adviser on the ground before committing you. That is what makes a figure quoted here still hold on the day you sign.
