Singapore equity laws

Post by defrancod » Sun, 08 May 2011 10:09 pm

How old do you have to be to own equity in a business in the United states in singapore? I am under-age and am a founder of a company in the United states. Does the equity have to be in my parents name or can it be in my name?

Thanks in advance!
