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.
What is included
- A qualified resident individual appointed as director
- Nominee agreement and indemnity prepared before appointment
- Annual review of the arrangement
- Resignation and handover when you appoint your own resident director
- Statutory filings related to the appointment
- No upfront security deposit
How it works
You tell us about the business.
What it does, where the money comes from, who controls it.
Enhanced due diligence.
A nominee takes on personal legal duties, so this check is deeper than standard KYC.
Licensed-person approvalAgreement and indemnity signed.
Both sides know exactly what the nominee will and will not do.
Licensed-person approvalThe licensed firm files the appointment with ACRA.
The nominee is a real director from that point.
Licensed-person approvalWhat we will need
- 01Full detail of the business activity and its markets.
- 02Identity and address documents for every beneficial owner.
- 03Source of funds information.
- 04A signed nominee agreement before any appointment.
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.
