Types of Business Entities in Singapore
You can choose from several company types based on your needs, ownership and level of risk. We help you decide on the best structure for your business.

This is the most popular type of company in Singapore. It is a separate legal entity and offers limited liability to its shareholders.
Features:

- Can be fully foreign- or locally-owned
- Separate legal identity
- Eligible for tax exemptions
- Can raise funds and apply for grants
Best for: Startups, SMEs and growing businesses.
2. Sole Proprietorship
A sole proprietorship is the most straightforward form of business in Singapore. It is owned by one individual or a registered company and is not a separate legal entity. The owner is fully responsible for all aspects of the business, including its debts and obligations.
Key Features:
- The owner holds unlimited liability and is personally responsible for all debts and losses.
- The business and the owner are legally the same.
- The owner may sue or be sued in their own name.
- Profits are considered the owner’s personal income and taxed accordingly.
Eligibility:

- Declaration of compliance and statement of non-qualification
For Foreigners
Foreigners must:

3. Partnership
This is a business owned by two or more people. It can take different forms depending on the level of liability protection.
General Partnership
- Not a separate legal entity
- Partners are personally liable for business debts
- Less paperwork and low setup cost
Limited Partnership
- Has at least one general partner and one limited partner
- General partners have full liability
- Limited partners have liability only up to their investment
Limited Liability Partnership (LLP)
A Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) is a business structure where two or more individuals or companies join to form a partnership with a separate legal identity. It offers flexibility like a general partnership but with the added benefit of limited liability for partners.
Key Features
- LLP is a separate legal entity from its partners
- Partners are not personally liable for business debts
- Each partner is responsible for their own wrongful acts
- LLPs can own assets and enter into contracts in their own name
- For tax purposes, the LLP is not taxed as an entity; partners pay personal tax on their share of profits
Eligibility
- At least two partners are required
- The manager must be a Singapore resident
- Partners can be locals or foreigners, but a local person cannot form an LLP with a non-resident
Registration Process
The LLP registration is done online through ACRA and involves two steps:
- Name reservation
- Entity registration
Documents required:
- Proposed name (suggest 2–3 options)
- Full details of all partners and managers
- Declaration of compliance
- Registered business address
- Manager’s consent and qualifications
If all documents are correct, registration usually completes within one business day.
For Foreigners
Foreign individuals or entities can register an LLP in Singapore by:
- Engaging a local consultancy firm to submit the application
- Appointing a local manager or representative
- Setting up a non-commercial representative office for admin tasks
Best for: Professionals such as lawyers, consultants and small firms.
4. Foreign Company Branch
This is an extension of a foreign company, not a separate legal entity.
Features:
- 100% foreign ownership allowed
- The parent company is liable for all debts
- Must appoint at least one local authorised representative
Best for: Foreign businesses expanding to Singapore without setting up a new legal entity.
