Registration · ACRA

Registering a Sole Proprietorship or Partnership

Business registration follows name reservation and requires the correct owner and address information.

Source checked · 11 October 2026

Key points

The direct filer must be the name applicant and the relevant owner or authorised representative. Foreigners without Singpass must engage a CSP. Prepare the commencement date, operating address, owner or partner particulars and contact information. Where all owners live overseas, a locally resident authorised representative is required.

Planning your next steps

ACRA lists S$100 for one year or S$160 for three years, with CPF conditions applying to the longer period. Home-office use requires the relevant approval and a P.O. box is not an operating address. Review the registration before payment, complete any endorsements and check the Bizfile outcome. Record renewal requirements rather than assuming the registration continues indefinitely.
