We help inward investors establish themselves in Singapore by providing branch registration and company incorporation services. Our approach is to provide you with a thorough understanding of all the regulatory requirements in establishing a presence in Singapore so that the required documentation are assembled efficiently. We will discuss with you the timeline upfront and come up with a plan to ensure the branch registration or company incorporation is completed within the agreed timeframe. 

As companies cross borders, they need the ability to move their people around quickly and  easily. We can help you by ensuring a smooth transition process for your employees by taking care of all necessary documentation and immigration requirements.

Employee Share Scheme
We can assist with establishing employee share and options plans. As part of our service delivery, we are able to assist with compliance and reporting requirements, as well as advising on tax consequences for the employees.

We can help you manage your business’ year-to-year compliance obligations and  documentation needs by helping you understand your duties and responsibilities under the Companies Act, the main statute regulating companies in Singapore. Besides the Companies Act, there are other legislation and rules that companies have to take into account and our team of experts at Crowe can aid you with that.

In this regard, we can ensure that your entity complies with the relevant rules and regulations by assisting you in:
