Singapore Private Limited Company Registration
Registration of a Private Limited Company in Singapore
The Private Limited Company is the most popular business entity in Singapore. Unlike business entities such as a Sole Proprietorship and Partnership, it has a separate legal status from its shareholders and directors who have limited liabilities for the debts and losses of the company. It has the rights to own properties. It usually has the words ‘Pte Ltd’ or ‘Ltd’ as part of its name. In many European countries or the US, it is commonly known as a corporation.
