Strengths & considerations

What this jurisdiction actually offers.

Advantages

  • Premier banking access in Asia. DBS, OCBC, UOB, and licensed digital banks support Singapore corporations directly. Fintech alternatives like Statrys open accounts in 3 business days.
  • Startup tax exemptions. SUTE scheme: 75% exemption on first S$100,000 chargeable income for first 3 years, 50% on next S$100,000. Effective rate near 8.5% in early years.
  • Treaty network. Double tax treaties with 90+ countries. Strong intellectual property holding jurisdiction. Patent box at 5%.
  • Stable common law jurisdiction. English common law tradition. Predictable courts. Strong contract enforcement. Top-tier ranking on global ease-of-doing-business indices.

To consider

  • Resident director required. At least one director must be ordinarily resident in Singapore. Nominee director services range S$1,200–3,600/year wholesale.
  • Company secretary mandatory. Statutory requirement within 6 months of incorporation. Cannot be the sole director. Adds annual compliance cost.
Government fees

State fees, transparent.

These are the fees payable directly to the Singapore authorities. They are not part of SVRNG fees — you may pay them directly, or we coordinate them as part of your engagement.
