Necessary Requirements For Starting A New Company In Singapore
Like every other country is open to new corporate ideas, Singapore is no different. But just having an idea isn’t enough. One has to learn about all the requirements before he/she dives into his entrepreneurial journey.
The individual will have to verify his/her corporate idea, build a proper plan, collect funds, hold a market study, and predict the economical outcome. Apart from this, one also has to ensure that he/she is abiding by all the laws and complying with all the legal provisions such as business registration in Singapore, getting licenses and permits, starting a business bank account, warehouse, and signing deals for renting office before getting started with the financial operations.
So, as mentioned above, having a guide or a list of important factors is necessary before one starts a new firm in Singapore. Here is a list of factors one should consider:
1. Proper business plan
 As harsh as it may sound, approximately 60-65% of corporate firms fail to even complete 5 years in business. Usually, the reason is a lack of funds. So, to avoid any such situation, you’ll have to build a solid business plan. Your plan framework should be based on factual financial targets and should also comprise a safe backup plan.
One should be aware that a company doesn’t stay on the profitable end from the first day of business. He/she will have to show patience for quite a while, and the individual should be prepared for such eventualities.
2. Business registration in Singapore

Yes, as unreal as it may sound, the kind of business structure you pick has a large amount of effect on your business. It may affect your tax rates, liability, and also your business scope.
3. Choose bookkeeping & accounting

It can delay or divert you from your financial targets. Several firms take external support and rely on bookkeeping and accounting services to fulfill this task.
4. Licenses, Patens, Permits, or Trademarks
