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.
Singapore Company Incorporation
Incorporate in Singapore,
built to withstand scrutiny.
From ACRA registration to your first board resolution — Auvene structures your Singapore entity the way institutional investors and regulators expect it, from day one.
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.
Regulatory credibility
A common-law system, ACRA-administered Companies Act, and MAS oversight give counterparties and investors confidence from the outset.
Full foreign ownership
No local shareholding requirement for most sectors — a Singapore Private Limited company can be 100% foreign-owned.
The Process
Incorporation, in five deliberate steps.
Every step below is one Auvene manages directly — no junior handoffs, no offshore call centre.

Name reservation & structure design
We check name availability with ACRA and confirm the right vehicle — Private Limited, LP, VCC, or a holding structure for a fund platform.
Same day02
Constitution & statutory appointments
Drafting the constitution, appointing a resident director, company secretary, and registered office — all Companies Act requirements satisfied before filing.
1–2 days03
ACRA incorporation filing
We lodge the application via BizFile+ and manage any regulatory referrals for licensed or sensitive activities.
1–3 days04

Corporate bank account opening support, EDD documentation, and share certificate issuance to shareholders.
1–3 weeks05
Ongoing compliance handover
Annual return calendar, BODS/RORC maintenance, and — where relevant — MAS, FATCA/CRS, and VCC Act obligations, mapped out from day one.

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.
