Singapore is a straightforward place to register a SaaS company and a slightly awkward one to do it from abroad. A private limited company needs only S$1 of paid-up capital and can be 100% foreign-owned, and ACRA fees total S$315, but you must have at least one locally resident director, appoint a company secretary within six months, and — if you are not a resident yourself — engage a registered corporate service provider to file at all. That last requirement is why choosing a provider is the first real decision. These five differ mainly on nominee director terms, whether they handle employment passes, and how transparent their pricing is.
1. Statrys
- Founding year: 2018
- Overview: The Singapore Company Incorporation Service by Statrys is built for the exact situation most SaaS founders face: incorporating a private limited company remotely with no local director on hand. The package covers ACRA registration, a corporate secretary, a nominee director for twelve months, a registered address with mail scanned to your portal, and first-year government fees — priced at S$4,095 list, with a promotional rate available and a 30-day money-back guarantee. Uniquely among the major providers, it charges no nominee director security deposit. Statrys also runs a MAS-licensed multi-currency business account covering eleven currencies and payments to 120-plus countries, so the company and its banking come from one licensed provider. Turnaround is quoted at five days. The one gap is employment pass support, which it does not offer.
- Services provided: ACRA incorporation; corporate secretary and annual return filing; nominee director; registered address and virtual mailroom; bookkeeping; unaudited financial statements; tax computation and IRAS filing; multi-currency business account; FX and international payments; Xero integration.

2. Sleek
- Founding year: 2017
- Overview: Sleek is the broadest digital-first option, operating across Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia and the UK, and it publishes pricing openly across every service line — rare in this market. Foreign-founder plans start from S$2,600 with three months of nominee director, from S$4,000 with twelve months, and from S$4,188 for a bundle that includes an Employment Pass application. Standalone rates are listed too: S$500 a year for corporate secretary, S$2,000 for nominee director, accounting from S$75 a month. It holds an ACRA filing agent licence, an MOM employment agency licence and an MAS payments licence, and runs its own business account and e-signature product. Registration is marketed at one to three days. Note that nominee director clients are required to also subscribe to accounting.
- Services provided: Incorporation; corporate secretary; nominee director; registered address and digital mailroom; bookkeeping; corporate tax filing; payroll; Employment Pass and visa applications; business account; e-signatures.

3. Osome
- Founding year: 2017
- Overview: Osome’s pitch is software-led accounting rather than incorporation alone, which suits a SaaS company that will quickly accumulate subscription revenue, multiple payment processors and foreign-currency invoicing. It runs separate tracks for local and foreign founders: from S$2,438 with three months of nominee director, from S$3,772 with twelve months, and from S$3,822 with an Employment Pass application, all inclusive of the S$315 government fee and the S$60 annual return. Nominee director requires no upfront deposit. The platform integrates bank and e-commerce feeds, files ECI and Form C-S, and maintains a dedicated accounting practice for tech companies. One caveat worth checking before you sign: standard packages assume under S$30,000 of revenue in your first financial year, and Osome invoices the difference above that.
- Services provided: Incorporation; corporate secretary and Corppass registration; nominee director; registered address; unlimited bookkeeping; ECI and corporate tax filing; unaudited financial statements; invoicing software; Employment Pass, Letter of Consent and Dependant’s Pass.

4. Lanturn
- Founding year: 2017
- Overview: Lanturn is the pick for a venture-backed SaaS company, because it handles incorporation and fund work under one roof — entity setup alongside fund formation and fund administration for SPVs and investor structures. It has served 400-plus companies and counts Wavemaker, Strive and Rakuten among its partner network. Incorporation tiers run from S$585 a year at the basic end up to S$5,440 for the full suite, all GST-exclusive; the fastest recorded digital application was seven minutes, with foreign-founder incorporation typically completing in around five working days. It holds an ACRA filing agent licence, an MOM employment agency licence and ISO 27001 certification — a credential that helps when your own enterprise customers run vendor security reviews. Confirm exactly what each tier includes before committing, as the published tiers list similar inclusions.
- Services provided: Incorporation; corporate secretary; nominee director; registered address; accounting; tax and ECI filing; payroll; KYC and AML; Employment Pass, EntrePass, PEP and ONE Pass support; bank account setup; fund formation and administration.

5. InCorp Global
- Founding year: 2015
- Overview: InCorp Global is the enterprise option: 1,500-plus professionals across nine Asia-Pacific markets, 20,000-plus clients and roughly 1,400 new incorporations a year, backed by Hillhouse Investment. That scale matters if your SaaS company will hire in Singapore and then open entities in Malaysia, Indonesia, Hong Kong or India, because the same group handles the regional footprint plus statutory audit, transfer pricing, PDPA compliance and trademark registration. It also sets up variable capital companies and offshore structures for founders who need a holding company above the operating entity. Name approval is typically under an hour and incorporation can complete in a day. Two things to know: pricing is quote-only rather than published, and the group is rebranding to Ascentium.
- Services provided: Incorporation including subsidiaries, branches, representative offices and VCCs; offshore setup; corporate secretarial; accounting and tax; transfer pricing; payroll, HR and PEO; work pass and immigration support; statutory audit; fund administration and family office; PDPA and ESG advisory; trademark registration.
