It's a great choice that you have selected Singapore to setting up your business venture. It is truly a safe, easy going and least complicated place to work in. Singapore is known to have a lot of categories for different kinds of business and the government is always ready to support. And also, you must be wondering about all those rules, policies and needs for setting it up. Take a look of some of it and you would have a clear understanding.

Singapore Limited Liability Company can be of two types namely the Private Limited Company or a Public Limited Company. By the time company switches to Public Limited Company, set of regulations and policies will also be changed and some of them will be more tight than the previous rules and regulations. Hence, it becomes the government's responsibility to safeguard their rights.

Private Limited Liability Company is always best for new and small businesses. The first step that is needed in forming a Singapore Limited Company is to have a good name and have it approved. After doing the first step, you can now proceed to the registration of the company with all the legal documents. ...
... Even if you were abroad, hiring an external agent would suffice, as they can do the filing on your behalf. Registration along with the legal papers won't take a long time.

The documents that are needed and much required by the law are the following; a brief detail about the company's proposed activities, details of the Directors and Shareholders, the supposed Registered Address of the company and the details of the Company Secretary. Along with this, to fulfill the KYC norms, Residential Address proof and the passport copies of the Directors and shareholders are to be submitted. If ever there is one shareholder in the company, then the registration details must be attached.

The director should be a resident in Singapore and the rest of the board may be from other countries. But, at least one of them needs to be a Singapore citizen or a permanent resident of Singapore or having a Singapore Work Pass.

The company doesn't require any prior approval or licenses to start a business in Singapore , except for certain areas like Finance, Travel etc.
