How it works
01
Confirm you need one
A citizen / PR director usually removes the need.
02
Sign a separate agreement
If a nominee is required, a Nominee Director Service Agreement must be signed, with KYC, AML / risk assessment, a customer declaration and beneficial owner information. The website does not replace that agreement.
03
Consent and appointment
Director’s consent goes into the incorporation pack.
04
Renew or resign
Renew yearly, or resign once you appoint a resident director.
What this service is for
A Singapore company needs at least one director who qualifies and is ordinarily resident in Singapore. If you do not yet have a suitable person, you can ask about a nominee director. An appointment is accepted only after the checks are done.
Is a nominee director just a name?
No. A nominee director still has a director’s legal duties. The arrangement can say the nominee does not run the day-to-day business. That does not remove those duties, and it does not replace your duty to give a true account of the business and the beneficial owners.
What is confirmed before appointment
Usually the business, the shareholders and beneficial owners, identity records and the risk profile are checked, and the service agreement, appointment terms and each party’s responsibilities are set out.
Can this be changed later?
Yes, through the procedure that applies. A change or an end to the appointment has to leave the company with a resident director, and the required updates and handover have to be completed.
