UpVue SG  •  Nominee director

A resident director, so you can incorporate from anywhere

Singapore requires at least one director who ordinarily resides here. The licensed firm appoints a qualified individual to meet that requirement while you build your own local presence.

Enhanced due diligence.

A nominee takes on personal legal duties, so this check is deeper than standard KYC.

Licensed-person approval
03

Agreement and indemnity signed.

Both sides know exactly what the nominee will and will not do.

Licensed-person approval
04

  • 02Identity and address documents for every beneficial owner.

Where a human signs

Every stage of this service is human-approved. A nominee director carries personal statutory liability, so no part of the assessment, the agreement or the appointment is automated. If we decline, we tell you plainly rather than leaving the request open.

Common questions

Will the nominee run my company?

No. They meet the residency requirement and hold the statutory duties that come with directorship. They do not manage operations or control bank accounts.

Can I replace them later?

Yes, and most clients do once they have their own resident director. The licensed firm files the change and the nominee resigns.

Do you decline applications?

Yes. Some activities carry risk we will not take on. You will get a clear answer rather than silence.
