Singapore Company Incorporation & Registration Services: Sole Proprietorship

Almost anyone or any company can register a sole proprietorship in Singapore with some exceptions, for instance, undischarged bankrupts may not be allowed to register such entities in Singapore.

Facts at a Glance

You must first register your business name and get it approved. You will be issued with a business registration number.
You must appoint a local manager if none of the owners registering is “ordinarily resident” in Singapore.
Depending upon on the type of business, you may require a business license for your business.
Business must be carried out under the registered business name in Singapore. You cannot use any other name.
You must print your registration number on all letterheads, invoices, bills or other documents used for the purposes of the business.
You must renew your business registration on time.
You must notify Singapore Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA) immediately if there is a change of business particulars, such as a change of address, business activity, etc.
You must notify ACRA when you decide to end your sole proprietorship business in Singapore.
Additional Information

A sole proprietorship is a form of business organization. It is the simplest form of business to start, but in many ways, the most risky.

A sole proprietorship essentially means a person does business in their own name and there is only one owner. Since the business is really just an extension of that person and not a new entity (like a company), any business debts are also personal debts. If the business were to get a judgement filed against it, it would be a problem for the owner.

As a sole proprietorship is not a company, it does not pay corporate taxes, but rather the person who organized the business pays personal income taxes on the profits made, making accounting much simpler. A sole proprietorship need not worry about double taxation like a corporation would have to.

A business organized as a sole proprietorship will likely have a hard time raising capital since shares of the business cannot be sold, and there is a smaller sense of legitimacy relative to a business organized as a company or limited liability partnership. Hiring employees may also be difficult. This form of business will have unlimited liability, therefore, if the business is sued, it is the owner's problem.

Selling part of your business might also be difficult if you are a sole proprietor.

Bernie Schaeffer's 2007 Market Forecast

The past few years brought heightened attention to foreign stocks and bonds, with a rising inflow into overseas investment funds. In the late 1990s, U.S. mutual funds were seeing an average of $640 million of daily inflows. From 2003-2005, the average daily inflow dropped to $360 million, according to TrimTabs Investment Research. During an average two-week period this past year, U.S. funds took in $1.2 billion of new cash, or about $170 million per session. What's more, 2006 saw approximately $175 billion of net cash funneled into global funds compared with less than $80 billion for U.S. funds. In fact, a total of $18.6 billion flowed out of U.S. equity funds during the second and third quarters. During the same time frame, $51.3 billion flowed into non-U.S. equity funds.
A potential surprise for 2007 would be for this global theme to be replaced by a domestic one, as inflows into mutual funds shift back to domestic soil. Investors succumbed to the siren songs of overseas action during the past few years as they played the odds of rising commodity prices and a slumping dollar. With bearishness on the dollar at a potential pessimistic extreme and commodity prices now universally expected to move higher, the current trends are vulnerable to reverting and leaving investors in these investments disappointed. Additional fuel should be added to the domestic market in 2007 as disenchanted expatriate investors return their interest to American securities.


Cautious optimism among institutional players and a market that has not yet impressed individual investors suggests that there is a reservoir of buying power, and the unwinding of low expectations should help maintain the market's current uptrend. Although the market hasn't faced a major correction since late 2002, the May 2006 pullback catalyzed a change in the sentiment backdrop, infusing the market environment with a heightened sense of caution. This set the stage for positive surprises, which drove the market to impressive double-digit gains from its July lows.
The increased presence of hedge funds enhances the probability of shallow pullbacks along the way. As more investors use hedge funds to guard against unforeseen market calamities, panics become less likely. Put support and short-covering scenarios will take an even greater role in keeping index exchange-traded funds atop levels of support.
Although the market averages are perched at or near historical highs, there are striking differences to the market's momentum seven years ago ahead of the bubble burst. Price-to-earnings ratios are more sensible, market strength is broad-based, and euphoria is under wraps.
Corporate earnings growth will subside somewhat, largely due to a retraction in earnings at energy companies, which will endure difficult comparisons to 2006. Growth of 10 percent is widely expected and thus slowing earnings growth is likely factored into stocks already. In addition, a moderation in earnings growth could set the stage for an easing of interest rates by the Fed.
The dollar is ripe for a bounce back amid extreme pessimism. If this were to occur, returns in overseas investing could diminish, sending investors back to U.S. equity funds.
Outperforming sectors that remain notably underloved due to their previous beaten-down status should continue to flourish. These include automotives and homebuilding issues.
I'd suggest placing about 60 percent of your investing capital in stocks, concentrating on financials, consumer durables, and housing stocks. Tuck 10 percent away in real estate investment trusts, and commit 10 percent to U.S. bonds. Finally, a solid 20 percent should be left in cash; the return on a short-term CD is currently about as good as the average dividend payout across the S&P 500 Index.
I would avoid energy, precious metals and overseas markets, which have become very crowded sectors that are also vulnerable to a surprise rally in the dollar.

Another Online business

The number of Internet users is predicted to skyrocket from less than 500 million to over 1.5 billion people. Millions of online users are looking for an easy, affordable, and lucrative home-based Internet business that requires no special technical skills. We've got it! To be successful on the Internet, you need the superior product, online marketing tools, experienced leadership, and hands-on training VemmaBuilder™ offers! Paul Zane Pilzer, noted futurist, predicts that soon, everyone will have the ability to enjoy unlimited prosperity through the magic of computer technology. Today's Internet sales of $200 billion annually are nothing compared to the fortunes waiting to be made. State-of-the-art computer technology, such as our patent-pending System, will let home-based businesses grow at unprecedented rates.
We are on the threshold of the Information Age. Old-fashioned companies and ways of earning a living are rapidly disappearing. The company of tomorrow is one computer and YOU!

With a stagnant economy, weak stock market, massive layoffs, and middle-class jobs moving offshore, the popularity of home-based businesses has soared. In fact, the number of home-based business owners is expected to grow from fewer than 40 million to more than 95 million people in the next two years! Of the top 1% of wealthy people, 3 out of every 4 made their fortunes with their own businesses.
Do you dream of enjoying the freedom and unlimited earning potential of a home-based business? Then look at these statistics:
86% of home-based business owners are happier running the show themselves.
84% recommend working from home to others.
20% of home entrepreneurs grossed between $100,000 and $500,000 in the past year.
29% work at home with family members.
76% expect their home-based business revenues to grow.
VemmaBuilder™'s exclusive business-building System and innovative marketing concepts, combined with the revolutionary VEMMA™ Nutrition Program from New Vision®, makes it easy for anyone, regardless of age or experience, to build a profitable home-based business on a part-time or full-time basis.

According to Paul Zane Pilzer, "More millionaires will be created in the Wellness industry than in real estate in the 80's or the Internet boom of the 90's." Pilzer's bestsellers, "The Next Trillion" and "The Wellness Revolution," identify an emerging "Wellness" industry that will soon occupy an additional one-seventh, or "next trillion," of our economy -- an industry in which 21st century fortunes will be created.
We can help you target the huge audience for Wellness products that feature Mangosteen, predicted to be a $1 billion seller in their own right. Our VEMMA™ Nutrition Program, containing Mangosteen, from a respected, 10-year old company, New Vision International®, is the ideal product to market at the ideal time! You probably guessed, that the market for Wellness products is mostly Baby Boomers. Baby Boomers are an economic force to reckon with. Although Baby Boomers make up only 28 percent of the American population, they represent 50 percent of the economy. And they are buying products to help them feel younger as they get older.
This trend gives you a tremendous business opportunity. The Wellness industry has soared from almost zero in 1990 to $200 billion today. Pilzer sees a $1 trillion Wellness industry by 2010. And he believes network marketing is "clearly the best vehicle" to educate people about new products, such as our own VEMMA™ Nutrition Program from New Vision International®, a company that has already produced over $1 billion in retail sales.

Before doing business online and become successful as above stated, you need to become a member of Vemma Builder. There are some fee you need to pay for monthly. Well.. so, basically nothing is free.. there is sure some fee behind it...It depend how you think and act toward what is your goal and direction to become a successful online businessman.

Euro Markets

Although the European Community helps in aligning the many local rules and regulations, the distinct differences between the nations remain. Their language, culture and believes are important aspects in daily work, hobbies and spare time to consider when approaching European businessmen for a business deal. Even without hearing their language one can already indicate who is the Frenchman and who is the German simply by looking at their behaviour, clothes and gestures.
English or Spanish are in most cases not the obvious languages (spoken by approx. 18%). This makes entering European markets for most non-European companies a difficult experience bound for misunderstanding and confusion. It very often leaves the export minded company paying a high price for only ending up with a UK office for the British (English speaking) market.
Western Europe however has the potential of 450 million consumers, looking for innovative, efficient, modern and profitable solutions and products. Although in most countries 220V, kilo's, kilometres and Centigrade (as opposed to 110V, pounds, miles and Fahrenheit) are national standards, implementing your European sales and distribution channels can very well be an important next step in your company’s lifecycle.
Sales4Sales supports your European Business Development. Helping companies with a global focus to have a local 24/7 presence with extensive media coverage and personal attention. To address potential business partners in their native language, the European way following EC regulations. To increase exposure by addressing publishers, potential customers, opinion leaders, resellers and distributors and by participating during national events and exhibitions. In a professional and personalized way according to their culture and expectations and all aimed at quickly and successfully introducing your business to the many European customers and growing and controlling your revenues.
