On April 12, 2024, SIG Tax & Accounting, in collaboration with Standard Chartered Bank, successfully hosted an exclusive forum at the W Hotel on the Bund in Shanghai, focused on business expansion into Singapore. The event brought together numerous entrepreneurs, investors, and business leaders eager to explore opportunities in Southeast Asia, with in-depth discussions about Singapore’s unique advantages as a key hub for business strategy in the region.
One-stop Services for Singapore Market Entry
In the keynote session, Sheena Guan, Founder and Chairperson of SIG, delivered an insightful presentation to attendees. She analyzed Singapore’s many advantages as a business hub in Southeast Asia, including its political stability, favorable tax policies, and robust business infrastructure. Sheena emphasized that with Singapore’s strategic location, companies can optimize their tax structures and enhance operational efficiency, laying a solid foundation for regional expansion.
Through real-life examples, Sheena demonstrated how businesses can leverage Singapore as a bridge to expand into Southeast Asia and the broader Asian market. She provided a detailed overview of the one-stop process for establishing and operating a company in Singapore, covering essential aspects such as company registration, bank account setup, and tax compliance. Sheena highlighted that Singapore is not only a safe and reliable entry point into the region but also a key platform for companies looking to achieve international growth.
Whiskey Tasting and Networking: Enhancing Interaction and Cooperation
Following the professional presentations, the event transitioned into a relaxed whiskey-tasting session, hosted by David Qin, founder of WOODCASK Whiskey Community. This segment provided attendees with a unique opportunity to connect, deepen relationships, and foster networking in a more casual setting. The lively atmosphere and shared whiskey experience further strengthened the bonds between entrepreneurs, investors, and business leaders.
In the subsequent interactive discussion, participants eagerly explored how to apply Singapore’s regional advantages to their own business expansions. Sheena answered specific questions from entrepreneurs, helping them gain a deeper understanding of business strategies in Singapore and other Southeast Asian countries. This session not only broadened participants’ knowledge of the Southeast Asian market but also provided valuable practical insights for their future international endeavors.
