10. Acclime Singapore

How to choose
- Confirm the provider assigns a specific, Singapore-resident named person as your company secretary; the Companies Act requires the role to be filled within six months of incorporation and the secretary must ordinarily reside in Singapore.
- Check exactly what the annual fee includes, since scope varies: some plans cover only the annual return and AGM, while others add director and shareholder changes, share transfers and resolutions. Ask which common filings carry extra charges.
- Look at how you will work together. Established firms often assign a dedicated contact and attend meetings, while digital providers run everything through an app or chat, so match this to how hands-on you want the relationship to be.
- If your company is foreign-owned, ask whether the firm also offers a nominee or resident director service and bundled incorporation, and treat any such offering as the provider's own claim to verify against your needs and ACRA rules.
- Ask who signs off and takes responsibility for your filings, whether the firm is a registered ACRA filing agent, and how your statutory registers and documents are stored and handed over if you ever switch providers.
