6. Director(s)
Every company must have at least one director who is locally resident in Singapore. It is required by law. If you do not have one, the company cannot be incorporated. He/ she must be at least 18 years old, of full legal capacity, a Singapore NRIC holder with a valid Singapore residential address, not disqualified from acting as a director of a company (e.g. an undischarged bankrupt).
The company may have director(s) who are foreigner(s), subject to valid proof of identification (passport/ national ID) and proof of residential address (POR) in the form of verifiable records in English which includes national telco/ utilities bill not more than 3 months ago to a residential address, notarised bank statement or statutory declaration.
After incorporation, if at any time the company is without a resident director, this is considered failure to comply with statutory requirements, an offence which may result in fines or prosecution.
7. Shareholder(s)
A shareholder is an owner of a company as determined by the number of shares they own. A shareholder can be an individual or a corporate entity (commonly known as a corporate shareholder) who owns a share or multiple shares of the company. A company can be owned by multiple individuals or a single corporate shareholder. To be considered a shareholder, you must own at least one share of the company.
Shareholders (often referred to as, “the members”) are the actual owners of the company. The minimum number of shareholders is one; maximum number is twenty for an exempt private limited company.
A Shareholder is entitled to receive a share of the profits when the company does well and declares a dividend. Shareholder may vote on certain matters with regard to the company.
Can the Shareholder also be a Director?
The shareholder and director are two different roles, although a shareholder can be appointed to be a director at the same time. The shareholder(s) is the owner of the company and is entitled to privileges such as receiving profits and exercising control over the management of the company. A director, on the other hand, is the person hired by the shareholder to perform responsibilities that are related to the company’s daily operations, with the intent of managing the company to make profits.
Can a foreign individual or a foreign company be 100% shareholder of a Singapore company?
In Singapore, the Companies Act allows for 100% ownership of Singapore companies by foreign persons or corporate entities. Although there are some restrictions on the type of business activities that a company can engage in. No special approvals are required by foreigners where there are no restrictions on business activity.
