Nominee Director Services

How does it work?

The Companies Act requires all Singapore registered companies to appoint at least one resident director.  A resident director can be any of the following:

• Singapore Citizen
• Singapore Permanent Resident
• Singapore Work Visa holder (e.g. Employment Pass or Entrepreneur Pass)

Non-residents who wish to register a company in Singapore must appoint a resident director to satisfy the statutory requirements.  If required, we can provide you with a nominee resident director either on a temporary or annual basis.

Nominee directors carry the same responsibilities and any other director.  As such, by engaging our nominee director service, you are required to agree to and abide by our terms of service.
