Foreign Company Registration Options in Singapore

Incorporating a subsidiary company is the most viable type of business structure for foreigners. A subsidiary company is a private limited company that can have the parent foreign company as its 100% shareholder. Even a local company can become the shareholder of a subsidiary company. The main advantage of a subsidiary company is that, it is separate entity from the parent foreign company. In addition, the parent company will only be eligible for liabilities until the extent of the share capital invested. All other assets of the parent company will be safely curtailed from the debts and liabilities of the subsidiary company.

This is the second option for foreigners who wish to incorporate in Singapore. Mostly SMEs can and prefer to register a branch office in Singapore. A branch office becomes a proper legal entity after registration. It is an extension of its parent foreign company. Unlike a subsidiary company, the parent foreign company is responsible for all the debts and liabilities incurred by the branch office in Singapore. The name of the branch office should correspond to the name of its parent foreign company. A branch office will be considered as non-resident company for tax purposes.

A foreign company can setup a representative office in Singapore for testing the business potential. This office is setup only for the purpose of market research and feasibility studies, and in no case should indulge in any profit-making activities. This type of entity does not have a legal identity. In case the parent company gets dissolved, the representative office in Singapore gets de-registered. The foreign parent company must be an established company for more than 3 years, and should be having an annual turnover of more than S$250,000, in order to be eligible to set up a representative office in Singapore.
