Nominated Corporate Secretary
A Singapore company must appoint a secretary within six months of incorporation. The secretary must be a natural person ordinarily resident in Singapore, with the knowledge and experience needed for the role. The sole director cannot also act as company secretary.
Public-company secretaries have additional requirements under section 171(1AA). These qualifications do not automatically apply to every private company; ACRA may require them in specified circumstances.
BTA supports statutory records, resolutions, annual-return filing and other agreed corporate secretarial matters. Directors retain responsibility for company decisions, compliance and the information and approvals supplied.
