Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
According to the requirements of the Singapore Companies Act, it is mandatory to have at least one resident director in the company. The local director must have the following resident statuses: Singapore citizen, PR (permanent resident) and address in Singapore.
A nominee director is a person appointed to represent another person or group of persons. In Singapore, under the Companies Act, the duties of a nominee director are exactly the same as those of an actual director. Before the Act, the Nominee Director is responsible for all matters relating to the day-to-day operation and performance of the Company's obligations and is criminally and administratively liable for the operation of the Company.
The standard package of duties of a nominee director includes the following items:
Signing the package of company registration documents (form 45, Director's declaration, Board resolutions, Share certificates)
Signing of agreement on non-disclosure of information (Non-disclosure Agreement)
Signing of the agreement on rights and obligations of a nominee director (Nominee Director Agreement)
Signing of the forms and resolutions necessary for the timely filing of financial and tax declarations on the Company.
Fulfillment of necessary legal requirements
Signing of banking forms and necessary documents for opening bank accounts of the company in Singapore.
In addition to the mandatory items, there is a list of additional items where you may need the assistance of a nominee director. These items are not included in the standard service package and are discussed and paid for separately:
Personal visit to the bank with the client to open a corporate bank account
Signing of bank forms and necessary documents for opening company bank accounts outside of Singapore
Signing Power of Attorney and Declaration of Trust
Providing personal data and signing documents for license registration
Providing personal data and signing documents to connect payment systems
Signing contracts on behalf of the company inside and outside Singapore
Dealing with banks and government agencies in Singapore
Representing the Company in Singapore (agency services)
Like an actual director, a nominee director bears full responsibility for the Company's activities, including financial, administrative and criminal responsibility.
A deposit is taken to cover potential expenses of a nominee director in cases where the company does not file its financial statements, does not hold an Annual Meeting of Shareholders, or the owner of the company simply disappears.
The deposit can also be used to partially cover legal and court costs if the client's company has committed serious violations of the law and lawsuits have been brought against the nominee director.
Receipt by shareholder/director of the company of Work visa and refusal to use the services of a nominee director
Replacing our nominee director with your
Closure of the company
The deposit will be refunded, minus actual costs at the time of service termination, within two weeks of service termination.
The low cost of a nominee director's services always has serious consequences. The proverb "the miser pays twice" is perfectly applicable to nominee directors - for a low cost, you get a "serial" local director, who has dozens and sometimes hundreds of companies on his books.
For a low cost, you will almost certainly get a "serial" local director.
What risks this entails:
Low chances of opening a bank account in Singapore: Singapore banks have an unspoken "threshold" of a maximum of 15 companies per local director, after reaching which no bank in Singapore will not open a bank account for your company.
Risks associated with the activities of a nominee director: if at least one of the companies registered to your local director has serious problems with the law (suspicion of suspicious financial transactions or money laundering, bankruptcy, lawsuits, etc.) it may lead to problems for all companies registered to this director, up to the fan closure of bank accounts. The fewer companies registered to one director, the lower the risks that this can happen to your company.
"Serial" nominee director or a director with unlimited registration may be right for you in the following basic cases:
If you do not plan to open a bank account in Singapore.
If you plan to open an account with one of the payment systems.
Whether the nominee director will have access to your bank account depends solely on your decision. By default, we open a bank account in which the nominee director is not a signatory on the account, so he cannot dispose of the bank account.
Letter of Consent (LOC)
is an official work permit from the Singapore Ministry of Labor for Dependant Pass holders who are owners of a business registered in Singapore, and LTVP/LTVP+ who are spouses or unmarried children of Singapore citizens and permanent residents.
Employment Pass (EP) - is a Singapore work visa intended for highly qualified foreign professionals and executives working in Singapore with appropriate qualifications and a salary of at least SGD 4,500 (~3,355 USD) per month for all companies and at least SGD 5,000 (~3,650 USD) for the financial sector.
Singapore is one of the largest financial centers in the world. There are more than 200 banks, including 111 commercial banks providing a wide range of banking services.
