How to Register a Business in Singapore: A Step-by-Step Guide Using GoBusiness and Bizfile
Starting a business in Singapore involves more than choosing a business idea and opening a bank account. Before you begin operating, you may need to register your business with the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA) and obtain any licences or approvals required for your activities.
For entrepreneurs researching how to register a business in Singapore, the GoBusiness Portal is a useful starting point for government business services, licences and regulatory information. However, the actual registration of a business entity is completed through ACRA’s Bizfile portal.
This guide explains the Singapore business registration process, including how to choose a business structure, reserve a business name, register through Bizfile, understand the costs, and identify the steps required after registration.
