// Why Singapore

A jurisdiction that asset managers, banks, and auditors already trust.

Singapore's Companies Act framework, ACRA's digital registry, and a stable regulatory regime make it the default holding and operating jurisdiction for capital moving through Asia.

01

Tax efficiency

A flat 17% corporate tax rate, no capital gains tax, and an extensive network of double-taxation treaties across Asia, Europe, and the US.

02

Regulatory credibility

A common-law system, ACRA-administered Companies Act, and MAS oversight give counterparties and investors confidence from the outset.

03

Full foreign ownership

No local shareholding requirement for most sectors — a Singapore Private Limited company can be 100% foreign-owned.

// The Process

Incorporation, in one step.

One conversation is enough. Auvene manages everything behind it directly — no junior handoffs, no offshore call centre.

// Structures We Set Up

Whatever sits above your capital, we can build it.

Standard

Private Limited (Pte Ltd)

The default vehicle for operating companies, holding entities, and fund management companies.

Fund

Variable Capital Company (VCC)

Umbrella and sub-fund structures under the VCC Act, purpose-built for asset managers.

Fund

Limited Partnership (LP)

The classic private equity and venture structure, with general partner and limited partner roles clearly defined.

Cross-border

Singapore Holding Entity

A Singapore layer above Cayman SPC or BVI structures, built for managers running an APAC book.

// Statutory Requirements

What the Companies Act actually requires.

A working checklist of what every Singapore-incorporated company must have in place — Auvene fulfils the resident roles where needed.

At least one resident director

A director ordinarily resident in Singapore — citizen, PR, or valid work-pass holder.

A qualified company secretary

Appointed within six months of incorporation, and resident in Singapore.

A registered Singapore address

A physical local address for statutory correspondence — no PO boxes.

Minimum paid-up capital of S$1

No minimum capital threshold beyond a single share of any value.

Annual return filing with ACRA

Due within seven months of financial year-end for a private company.

Register of registrable controllers

BODS/RORC maintained at all times, updated within two business days of any change.

// Frequently Asked

Before you call.

Yes. Most sectors permit full foreign ownership of a Singapore Private Limited company. A resident director is still required, which Auvene can provide.

Name reservation and ACRA filing typically clear within one to three business days once documentation is complete. Bank account opening usually takes longer than the incorporation itself.

Yes, a registered local address is a statutory requirement. Auvene provides a registered office and mail management service for clients who don't yet have local premises.

The Variable Capital Company was purpose-built for investment funds and requires an appointed, MAS-licensed or exempt fund manager at all times — it isn't used as a general operating vehicle.

Ongoing obligations begin immediately — company secretarial maintenance, annual return filings, and, for licensed managers, MAS and FATCA/CRS reporting. Auvene structures this handover before day one.
