Company Secretarial
We keep your Singapore company in good standing — from incorporation, through every funding round, year after year.
Setting up
Incorporation of new companies and Singapore subsidiaries of overseas groups, including the board resolutions needed to form them. If your directors are based overseas, we can provide a locally resident nominee director.
Our nominee director is non-executive and there for statutory compliance only. We carry out full due diligence on your directors and shareholders, ask for a director indemnity letter, and provide the service alongside our company secretarial, registered office and accounting services, so your records are always in order.
Every year
We act as your named company secretary and provide your registered office address. Annual general meetings and annual returns are filed with ACRA on time, and your statutory registers are kept up to date.
You also get an Important Dates calendar setting out your AGM, annual return and tax deadlines for the year, and we remind you well before each one.
Funding rounds
Share allotments and transfers, funding-round documents, shareholder agreements and ESOP set-up, so your round closes cleanly.
People and compliance
Employment agreements for your team, and acting as your Data Protection Officer under Singapore’s PDPA.
Executive Directorship
When your company needs real presence in Singapore, not just a name on the register, an experienced Futurebooks director can join your board as an active compliance director, employed and paid by your company.
Unlike a nominee, your Executive Director takes part in board meetings held in Singapore and in your compliance decisions. That substance supports your Singapore tax residency and your access to tax treaties.
Tax residency and treaty relief
We apply to IRAS for your Certificate of Residence for each treaty country you sell into, and draft the no-permanent-establishment declarations your overseas customers need, so they can pay you without deducting withholding tax that isn’t due. Why customers withhold tax they don’t need to →
Switching to us, or catching up
If your records have fallen behind, we start with a secretarial rescue. We review your past filings and resolutions, recreate anything that’s missing, and put things right with ACRA, then confirm your company is back in good standing. How switching company secretary works →
