Company Secretarial Services in Singapore

Running a business in Singapore comes with great opportunities but also strict compliance requirements. One of the key obligations under the Singapore Companies Act is to appoint a qualified company secretary within six months of incorporation. The role is not just administrative; it is critical for maintaining legal compliance, corporate governance, and investor confidence.

At SIG, we provide trusted company secretarial services in Singapore to help businesses of all sizes stay compliant while keeping costs manageable. With our expertise, you can focus on growing your business while we handle the complexities of statutory filings, record-keeping, and corporate governance.

Company secretarial services refer to a range of professional compliance and governance functions required by law for every registered business entity in Singapore.

These services ensure that your company’s records, filings, and legal obligations remain in full compliance with ACRA (Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority) and the Companies Act.

Common responsibilities include:

• Preparing and filing annual returns with ACRA.
• Maintaining and updating statutory registers (directors, shareholders, charges, etc.).
• Preparing board and shareholder resolutions.
• Organising board meetings and recording minutes.
• Managing share issuance, transfers, and director appointments.

Whether you’re a startup, SME, or multinational company, these services safeguard your operations and prevent costly compliance breaches.

Every Singapore company must have a qualified company secretary to remain compliant. According to Section 171 of the Companies Act, this appointment must be made within six months of incorporation.

A professional secretary ensures:

• Corporate governance: adherence to legal frameworks and best practices.
• Transparency: maintaining accurate records accessible to directors and shareholders.
• Credibility: enhancing trust among investors, partners, and regulatory bodies.

Failure to comply may result in ACRA penalties, potential legal disputes, or even company deregistration.

At SIG, our packages are designed to meet your compliance needs efficiently and affordably.

We handle all essential compliance matters for your company, including annual return filing with ACRA, maintaining statutory registers and records, preparing resolutions and board meeting documents, and providing shareholder communication support. Our team also assists with the appointment or resignation of directors and offers nominee director to ensure your company remains fully compliant.

In addition to core compliance, we provide corporate restructuring support, assist with M&A transactions and fundraising compliance, and offer expert advisory on corporate governance best practices to help your business grow with confidence.

Outsourcing your company secretarial function offers numerous benefits compared to hiring an in-house professional:

• Cost Savings: Pay a fixed annual fee instead of full-time salary and benefits.
• Expertise Access: Get a team of specialists updated on ACRA and MOM regulations.
• Time Efficiency: Focus on operations while experts handle compliance tasks.
• Lower Risk: Minimise non-compliance penalties through proactive monitoring.
