Company secretary, compliance, and incorporation for Singapore companies.
Corporate Secretarial
Every Singapore company needs a named company secretary, a registered office, and a calendar of ACRA filings kept current. We handle all of it, from your first incorporation through to ongoing compliance as your company grows and changes. Accela is an ACRA Registered Filing Agent.
Incorporation
Set up in Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia or BVI. Properly, the first time.
Most founders and foreign companies incorporate as a Singapore Pte Ltd. We manage the full ACRA process, from name reservation and KYC through to CorpPass activation and statutory registers. Where you need a locally resident director, we provide that too. We also incorporate companies in Hong Kong and Malaysia for clients expanding across the region, and set up BVI for funds and offshore holding structures. From there, we act as your company secretary and keep you compliant.
Company Secretary
A named secretary on every engagement.
Every Singapore company must appoint a company secretary within six months of incorporation. At Accela, every client has a named secretary, not a helpdesk. We maintain your statutory registers, prepare and file your annual return, handle AGM notices and minutes, and keep your ACRA calendar current. Board resolutions, director and shareholder changes, strike off, and other filings are handled as they come up, with clear fees and no surprises on scope.
Registered Office
A Singapore registered address, properly managed.
Every Singapore company requires a local registered address. We provide use of our Singapore registered office address, with mail handling and scanning included. Useful for foreign-incorporated teams and founders who don’t yet have a local office.
Nominee Director
A resident director while you get established.
Singapore law requires at least one ordinarily resident director under Section 145 of the Companies Act. For foreign founders, a nominee resident director bridges the gap between incorporation and having your own director in place. We provide a qualified resident director on an annual or quarterly basis, with the arrangement unwound once your own director is ready. A refundable security deposit applies. We conduct full fit-and-proper and KYC checks on all nominee appointments.
Ad-hoc Secretarial
Changes handled when you need them.
Employer of Record for companies hiring into Singapore before they have an entity of their own. We employ your team compliantly on your behalf, handling payroll, CPF, and statutory obligations end to end.
How it works
Whether you are incorporating fresh or moving from another provider, the process is the same.
Whether you are incorporating fresh or moving from another provider, the on-ramp is the same.

STEP 01
Discovery call
A short call to understand your structure, timeline, and what you need. We’ll recommend the right package and flag anything that needs sorting before we start.
STEP 02
Scope and quote
A clear written scope with fixed fees for the core engagement. Any out-of-scope work is quoted separately before we proceed.
STEP 03
Onboarding
For new incorporations, we file with ACRA, set up the registered office, draft the constitution, activate CorpPass, and open the statutory registers. For companies switching secretary, we manage the handover from your existing provider cleanly and without disruption to your ACRA calendar.

STEP 04
Ongoing compliance
Annual return, AGM, statutory registers, and ACRA calendar managed throughout. Resolutions and ad-hoc filings handled as they arise, with your named secretary available when you need them.
