Option 1: Private Limited Company

Private Limited Company is the most popular business entity in Singapore. Unlike business entities such as a Sole Proprietorship and Limited Liability Partnership, it has a separate legal status from its shareholders and directors who have limited liabilities for the debts and losses of the company. It usually has the words Pte Ltd' or Ltd' as part of its name. In many European countries or the US, it is commonly known as a Corporation.

New start-up companies pay Zero tax on the first S$100,000 of chargeable income for the first three consecutive years. A further 50% exemption is given on the next S$200,000 of the chargeable income.

Option 2: Limited Liability Partnership

A Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) is a perfect blend of a partnership with private limited company setup. A LLP gives owners the flexibility of operating as a partnership while having a separate legal identity like a private limited company. This type is highly suitable for individuals engaged in professional services such as lawyers, architects, accountants and management consultants. Singapore citizens, residents, and employment pass holders can register a LLP. Foreign individuals and companies may also register a LLP but must appoint a local manager.

Option 3: Sole Proprietorship

A Sole Proprietorship is the simplest form of business entity with only one owner who is the decisive authority and responsible for all assets and liabilities belonging to the business. Citizens, residents, Employment Pass holders may register a sole proprietorship. Foreigner individuals and companies may also register a sole proprietorship but must appoint a Singapore resident manager.
