Business and company registration in Singapore: what you pay

Updated 4 November 2026

Registering a company in Singapore costs at least S$315 in government fees, which covers the name application and the registration itself. The all-in cost for a local founder is usually about S$1,500 to S$2,500 a year once compliance is included. To compare offers for your structure, describe the company and your needs in one request on BlaBlaPrice.

Which licence applies

A business licence is needed only for some industries, and where one is required the cost per application ranges from S$400 to S$1,500. Professional firms may pay about S$200 a year for licensing, according to one guide. Licence rules depend on the activity, so name the activity or business codes in the request before you compare offers.

Timing and ongoing costs

Singapore's climate is hot all year and does not change when a company can be registered, so the calendar matters less than the annual costs. The guides give a setup figure and a separate yearly figure, so budget for both. They also give a separate all-in figure for foreign founders, so say whether any founder is foreign.

What to put in the request

Name the business structure you want, the founders and whether any of them is a foreigner, and the activity or business codes. Say what you need beyond registration (extras and taxation), your deadline, your city and your budget. Ask each provider to list the government fee separately from its own fee, so the offers are easy to compare.

BlaBlaPrice's AI reads your request, asks for missing details such as the business structure and activity, and looks through sellers' websites and price lists in Singapore before it shows the prices and firms it found. Firms registered on BlaBlaPrice reply in the chat with their own price and terms. Your contacts stay hidden until you decide whom to contact.
