What Are the Risks of Not Having a Company Secretary?

Every Singapore company must appoint a secretary within six months of starting up. If you miss this deadline, you’re technically breaking the law, which can lead to fines for both the company and its directors. In some cases, the government might even step in and force you to hire a highly qualified professional to fix the mess.

By moving your secretarial duties to SBC, we’ll make sure you hit every deadline and stay on the right side of ACRA, so you don’t have to deal with unnecessary penalties or legal headaches.

Frequently Asked Questions

When does my Singapore company need to appoint a company secretary?

Within 6 months of incorporation. This is a statutory requirement under section 171 of the Companies Act — not a recommendation. The secretary must be a Singapore resident and capable of discharging the role. If you don’t appoint one within the deadline, the company commits an offence and ACRA can direct a qualified person to be appointed at the company’s cost. Directors are personally liable for the fine.

What does a Singapore company secretary actually do?

The secretary files your Annual Return with ACRA, maintains the statutory registers (directors, members, registrable controllers), prepares board minutes and AGM paperwork, files updates when company particulars change, and registers your Data Protection Officer with ACRA. They are the company’s compliance officer — the person ACRA holds accountable for filings being accurate and on time.

Can my company director also be the company secretary?

Only in some cases. A sole director of a Singapore company cannot also be the sole secretary — these must be different individuals. If your company has multiple directors, one of them can hold the secretary role. Most foreign-owned companies outsource the secretary function because the role requires Singapore residency and current knowledge of ACRA filing procedures.

What happens if I miss filing my Annual Return?

ACRA charges a late filing fee starting at SGD 300, with directors personally liable. Continued failure can lead to the company being struck off the register, which dissolves the entity. The Annual Return is due within 30 days of the company’s AGM, or within 30 days of the deadline for sending financial statements to members if your company is exempt from holding an AGM.

How long does it take to switch company secretaries?

Switching takes 1 business day. The outgoing secretary signs a resignation letter, the incoming secretary signs a consent to act, and the change is filed with ACRA via BizFile+. SBC handles the full handover — including a review of your existing statutory registers to confirm they are complete before we take responsibility for them.

How much does company secretary service cost in Singapore?

SBC’s company secretary service is SGD 800 per year for companies with at least one Singapore-resident director, and SGD 4,230 per year for foreign-owned companies (this rate bundles in the nominee director service). Both include ACRA Annual Return filing, registered office address, and ongoing statutory register maintenance. Government fees for filings are charged at cost.
