Subsidiary Company Setup with Nominee Director Package

A foreign Subsidiary Company in Singapore is a locally incorporated limited liability company with which the majority of shares are held by the foreign company.

If you wish to set up a Subsidiary Company without relocation of management staff member to Singapore, you will need to do the following:

• Incorporate a Subsidiary Company.

You can also engage our Singapore Nominee Director Service where we can provide a Nominee Director on a long term basis or a temporary one until you find a suitable Singapore resident director to represent your company.

Features of a Singapore Subsidiary Company
