Why do you think having a LLP is going to increase your chances for a LOC? How are you going to write a LOC application to be a partner? One of the partners has to be named manager. Is that going to be your PR friend? Do you have a business plan with pro forma financials? My view is that the LOC application will be viewed as a scam, because, after all, it essentially is a scam, isn't it?
After all, you've got a PR buddy who really has nothing to do with the business who has to make application for LOC for a partner? Why a partner? What does he know about app development. He probably works in a completely different field, and he's going to start a LLP with a partner instead of hiring an employee because????? Why would he make you a partner?
And, you have a real chicken/egg problem. A LLP requires a minimum of two partners. But you can't be a partner without a work permit. So how do you form a LLP to apply for a LOC when you don't have two partners already? You are going to have to work with MoM in non-standard ways to make this happen.
Again, I see no reason that you cannot do this through a SP. You simply write up a contract as to who owns what and who gets paid. Look, I could go to work for a SP as a contractor. My service contract would normally state that everything I create belongs to the SP. It would also state what I would be paid for producing the work.
However, there is absolutely nothing that prevents a contract for services from being written differently. You could work for the SP under a contract that states you own all intellectual
property produced, and have ownership of all apps created. You could have a contract that says you get 100 percent of all revenues generated from the app. You could agree to pay certain amounts for overhead and expenses.
But, you're still in the position that you have a PR buddy uninvolved with your kind of business who wants to hire you on a LOC. I still don't see how you think your chances will be better than doing it yourself.
You've either got a valid, real business, or your don't. You've either got a target market and a marketing plan or you don't. You've either got some idea of who is going to buy your app and for how much or you don't. You are either going to be able to convince the gahmen of the above and get a LOC or you won't. I don't see how involving an outsider with no real interest in the business is going to make a difference.
You have to understand Singapore allows foreigners to start businesses not because they have big hearts and want foreigners to succeed, they want to see that the new business will be a positive contribution to Singapore. And because too many people have scammed the LOC system, it's going to be tougher to get your start.
Good luck. This is my last post on the subject.
