This is an Asian century, and increasingly companies from across the world, are moving to the continent to be a part of the burgeoning economies of India, China, and other South-east Asian nations. Here, Singapore, with its advantages of low corporate tax rates, no capital gains, and dividends taxes, high productivity, rule of law, availability of skilled man-power, and strict enforcement of intellectual property rights, provide the most conducive environment for such expansion and incorporation.

To add to the above, company formation in Singapore, gives you the benefits of excellent connectivity and a strategic location, as Singapore’s Changi International Airport serves over 80 international airlines with connections to more than 330 cities.

Business registration in Singapore is so hassle-free that the country consistently tops the World Bank’s ease of doing business report. Singapore was also rated as offering the best IP protection, infrastructure, and incentives in Asia by World Economic Forum’s Global Competitiveness Report 2015-16.

As regards to the availability of funding after you register a company in Singapore, the country hosts over 128 commercial banks, 31 merchant banks, and 604 capital markets services license holders. It is also the hub for wealth management and investments in Asia.
