When your Singapore company has been registered, ACRA will send an official email notification to confirm it. This is treated as the official certificate of incorporation in Singapore.
You should also obtain a PDF version of your company business profile by purchasing it online and paying the nominal fee.
The company business profile contains the following key details:
- Company name and registration number
- Previous names for the company, if any
- Incorporation date
- Principal activities
- Paid-up capital
- Registered office address
- Shareholders’ details
- Directors’ details
- Company secretary details
The email notification of incorporation and company business profile are sufficient in Singapore for all legal and contractual purposes, including the opening of corporate bank accounts, signing of office leases, subscriptions to telephone/internet services, etc.
Some of the other items you will almost certainly need upon registration of your Singapore company include:
- Share certificates for each of the shareholders
- Share register indicating shares allotted to each of the shareholders
- Company seal for the company
- A rubber stamp for the company
