Registered address of the company
It is unquestionable that a registered Singapore address is required for registering a local company in Singapore. The reason for this is to facilitate contacting your company and receiving letters and documents. The company's registered address does not necessarily have to be the actual location of your business operations.
In Singapore, many new start-ups, small companies and offshore companies choose to pay to use the address of a business secretary service company as their registered address. This is completely legal and there is no problem. Before using the office address of a business secretary service company, you must confirm the terms and arrangements of the contract with the business secretary service company to ensure that everything is arranged properly.
If there is any change in the company's address, you must notify the Singapore Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA) within 14 days and submit the new office address so that the authority can update your company's records immediately. Violators (officers and directors) will be fined not more than S$5,000 upon conviction.
