One company - multiple names.
One company, one name. However, there's nothing stopping you from using any name you like for your promotional materials etc, as long as the small print in invoices and other official materials still says Realname Pte Ltd.

lol...
I see I wasn't thinking clearly again when I posted.
Let's try it one more time.
Like jpatokal said. One Incorporated Company (Pte Ltd) one name.
If business is carried out under any other name, it can be registered as a business name of the company.
Than back to my first post on this thread.
It's an offense if you carry on business using a different name from the registered one or using an unregistered name. Subject to a fine up to $5,000.

If you want legal advice, get a lawyer! All I know is that Companies Act 144 states the following:Oriental wrote:I guess it is correct to assume that the above solution comply with Singapore Law. However, if you (jpatokal / Fantastic) know the exact practise please refer me to any circular or precedence set by a Court of Law etc.jpatokal wrote:One company, one name.

Publication of name and registration number.
144. —(1) The name of a company shall appear in legible romanised letters on —
(a) its seal; and
(b) all business letters, statements of account, invoices, official notices, publications, bills of exchange, promissory notes, indorsements, cheques, orders, receipts and letters of credit of or purporting to be issued or signed by or on behalf of the company.
My reading of that is that you can (say) create a flyer that advertises Foobar(tm) brand widgets in 256-point text, but at least the small print at the bottom on the reverse side must say Yourcompany Pte Ltd.
