Every company in Singapore is required by law to comply to the Singapore Companies Act and appoint a Corporate Secretary within 6 months of incorporation. While it is possible for the director of the company to also act as its corporate secretary, the secretary holds many responsibilities that require experience and qualification to complete.
Depending on the size of your company, you may choose to either hire an in-house qualified company secretary or outsource the work to a professional secretarial firm. If you are a start-up or SME, the latter will be a better choice as an annual fixed secretarial fee will be much cheaper that hiring an in-house secretary. Your company may also not have enough work to keep the full-time secretary busy all day.
Due to the high supply, many secretarial firms offer competitive pricing for their secretarial services, as well as multiple plans to choose from. Choosing the right plan depends on your business industry and needs. With so many secretarial firms to choose from, we know how hard it can be to make a decision. Thus, to make life easier for you, we have made a list featuring only the ones worth considering.

What is Corporate Secretarial Services?
In the business sector, secretarial services have been given a new viewpoint. It entails not only filing and communicating but also adhering to legislative and legal requirements, which are the bedrock of every business. They are responsible for bridging the gap between administrative and geographical deficiencies in the creation of a business, as each state or nation has its own set of rules and regulations. The corporate secretarial service serves as a supporting framework for the company’s compliance needs, regardless of the firm’s nature, as the company secretary is experienced in dealing with a wide range of businesses.
Because a Company Secretary is a person who is not only good with the law but also has a strong understanding of enhancing the efficiency of the company, a secretarial service works as a guide who helps the company breeze through the legal and compliance requirements, resulting in cheaper costs.

A major requirement for all Singapore-incorporated businesses is to select a corporate secretary who must be a Singapore resident.
Despite the fact that the Singapore Companies Act does not specify a company secretary’s position, duties, or responsibilities, he or she is the official in charge of the law’s administration and regulatory tasks. As a result, the company secretary’s role is to help the board members in guaranteeing that the firm complies with all regulatory requirements.
