Singapore Company required, no visa needed

Hello all,

Can people advise which is the best consultancy company to incorporate a Singapore company?

I want to set-up a company in Singapore with a GST exemption and I don't need a visa with the company.

The company is for a Pakistani citizen who has significant investments in Pakistan which he now wants to diversify. The company will simply hold cash reserves and invest in shares etc. through this vehicle.

So far from browsing the web I have seen that ., Janus (guidemesingapore) and Healy consultants all offer this service. I'd like to ask if there is any consensus on who is the "best" or if there are any other recommended consultants?

Also, is there generally any difficulties in opening a simple company like this for a Pakistani citizen? He does not have any existing businesses as most of his wealth is inherited (which can be shown) but if there was any detailed business plan required, it might be difficult.

Also, please could you advise which bank account is the best, as I've been hearing that HSBC are not opening accounts for Pakistani citizens at the moment.

Thanks all

RPI

Who knows which is best? They all charge a lot of money for something that is very simple to do. I could offer you a local CPA that could set you up and manage your books... and...

You will need at least one resident director to be appointed... a Singapore citizen or PR. Accounting companies such as mine can offer you nominee directors, usually at less cost than the ones you mentioned.

You do not need to register for GST unless you have sales that exceed 1 million Sing dollars.

Can't help with the bank... opening an account for a private limited usually only requires a directors resolution and a signature card.

Incorporating here is very easy... and only a few reasons that you would be rejected.

No he doesn't not officially that would be soliciting anyway, though PM him is best, he's many contacts that do.

No, I wasn't very clear. I utilize a firm that offers these services, a local CPA.

Tried sending you a PM twice but it's not showing up in my "sentbox" for some reason...
