Appointing the new Directors
The directors must fulfil the following requirements:
- At least one Director resident in Singapore (i.e. Singapore Citizen, a permanent resident or a person who has been issued an Entrepreneur Pass, Employment Pass or Dependent Pass by Ministry of Manpower is qualified to act as a director).
- At least 18 years of age
- Not convicted of specified offences or offences involving fraud or dishonesty punishable with imprisonment for three months or more. (The disqualification is for five years from the date of conviction of the relevant offence, or, where the person has been sent to prison, from the date of release).
- No maximum limit on the number of local or foreign directors.
- No requirement for a director to own shares in the company.
Role of Resident Director
The Companies Act requires that every company registered in the city-state appoint at least one director who is ordinarily a resident in Singapore.
We can help you fulfil this requirement by appointing a resident director for your company, on a short-term or annual basis.
In Singapore, a Resident Director has the same obligations and responsibilities as those imposed on a regular director by the Companies Act and the common law.
Most of the company’s powers are vested in the board of directors, who control the company’s affairs and are answerable to the shareholders.
Directors are responsible for the statutory books and filings, accounting records and annual accounts, shareholders and directors meetings and importantly, all directors have a fiduciary duty towards the company.

Who shall be the bank signatory | Client |
Do the statutory obligations imposed on directors by the Companies Act apply to the Resident Director | Yes |
Does the Resident Director owe a fiduciary duty to the Company? | Yes |
Who acts as the shareholder of the company | Client |
This service for statutory compliance only | Yes |
In view of the fiduciary duties borne by a director, the provision of our Resident Nominee Director Service is subject to the following terms:
- The service is offered for statutory compliance only. The Resident Director will not be involved in any day-to-day management, financial, or operational matters of the company.
- The Resident Director will not execute documents on behalf of the Company nor will the Resident Director sign any guarantee relating to the indebtedness of the company.
- You must appoint one or more other individuals (who can be foreign individual(s) including yourself) as the executive directors who will be responsible for running the company.
- In addition to our Resident Director fee, you will be required to pay a refundable security deposit for the provision of our nominee director service. The security deposit is collected to safeguard the interests of Nominee Director.
- You can terminate our services at any time and replace our Resident Director with a suitable replacement and we will refund the security deposit after the change has been affected with Company Registrar.

Company Secretary

Changing the company name
Our companies have neutral company names and a wide range of business objects enabling the ready made company to be appropriate for any business activity.
