The Private Limited Company is the most common business form in Singapore and most suitable for foreign individual who wants to start business in Singapore.  The Private Limited Company provides many benefits to the owner and is eligible for the government tax incentives. Some benefits include tax incentives for the first few years of the business and limited liability, protecting the owner from any potential legal matters regarding the business as the company is considered a legal entity on its own.

What are the benefits: 

  1. Separate legal entity:The company is considered a legal entity on its own and business owners will not be touched for their assets, personal possessions in the event the company faces a lawsuit or debt. This applies to the directors and shareholder’s as well. The company is limited with the funds they contributed to the company’s paid-up capital in the beginning.
  2. Trusted image and branding: Using an incorporated business form allows your business to be branded in a credible image compared to a sole proprietorship or partnership business. This inadvertently creates a sense of trust amongst potential investors who might give them the push to invest into your business.
  3. Transfer of ownership: With a private limited company, transfer of ownership has never been easier. Ownership can be transferred either partially or wholly without disrupting operations or the need for complicated legal documentation and procedures. This is achieved through the selling of your shares or part thereof to another individual or through issuing of new shares to additional investors.
