If you prefer a low initial investment and simplicity in running a business, business registration in Singapore as a sole proprietorship or partnership (at least two but less than 20 partners) are two of the better choices. We specialize in our Express Business Registration Service in Singapore which requires about 30 minutes for your business registration to be completed (subject to ACRA approval and due diligence review).
All profits earned by a business belong to the sole proprietorship/partners, are subject to personal income tax and require a contribution to CPF Medisave based on profits declared with Inland Revenue of Singapore (individual rates vary between 6 and 8 percent).
All self-employed persons are required to pay Medisave contributions as long as they earn a yearly net trade income of more than S$6,000.
Individuals must ensure that their Medisave payment statuses are up-to-date before they register a new sole-proprietorship/partnership, become the owner of an existing sole-proprietorship/partnership, or renew the registration of their sole-proprietorship/partnership.
Generally, sole proprietorships or partnerships can be formed by a Singapore citizen or Singapore permanent resident who is a natural person of full capacity, aged 18 years or above.
For limited partnerships (LPs) and limited liability partnerships (LLPs), partners can be individuals (at least 18 years old) or corporate entities (company or LLP).
