No need to be in Singapore
You don't need to be physically present to register your branch — we handle the application and filing on your behalf.
Singapore Branch Registration
Register a Singapore branch for your foreign company, without visiting Singapore.
A branch lets your existing company operate in Singapore under its own name, without incorporating a new local entity — we handle the application, documentation, and ongoing compliance.
Choosing a structure
What is a Singapore Branch?
A branch of a foreign company is an extension of its foreign company parent. It is not a subsidiary company incorporated in Singapore. If a foreign corporation prefers not to incorporate a company in Singapore, the alternative approach is to register a branch in order to carry on business under the corporate title of the foreign company.
Not sure a branch is right for your foreign company? Compare with a locally incorporated company.
The details
Everything you need to know
The branch's name and business activities must match the foreign company's exactly, and ACRA must approve the proposed name. The foreign company must appoint at least one Singapore “ordinarily resident” authorised representative. There's no separate constitution for the branch — the parent company's own constitution is lodged with ACRA instead. The registered office must be operational and publicly accessible during normal office hours; a P.O. Box is not acceptable.
