Corporate Secretarial Services in Singapore
It is pretty easy to start a business in Singapore as the country lays no restrictions on repatriation of money earned. Nor does Singapore impose hurdles on enterprises of foreign ownership. However, companies need to be familiar with and adhere to regulations of the Singapore government. To ensure full compliance with the rules of ACRA, Section 171 of the Singapore Companies Act, Chapter 50, requires all companies to hire a Singapore Company Secretary within 6 months of their incorporation.
