Business services in Singapore: what they cost

Updated 31 October 2026

In Singapore, business services cost about S$80 to S$200 a month for accounting at a small company that is not GST-registered, and S$200 to S$500 a month for a GST-registered SME. Registering a simple company costs about S$500 to S$1,500. These figures are approximate, according to sellers' websites, October 2026.

Rules and licences to check first

Most businesses in Singapore need no licence beyond registration with ACRA, and the basic incorporation fee of at least S$315 already includes a S$15 business name. Activities that do need a licence have their own fees: one retail licence is quoted at S$250 to S$500 a year, depending on premises size and goods sold. Ask every seller which licence your activity needs before you agree a price.

Season and timing in a tropical climate

Singapore has no winter or summer. Its climate is hot all year, with wet and dry seasons instead, so the weather does not change what these services cost or when they are delivered. Timing depends on your own deadlines, such as a company that must register before it trades or a year-end for accounts, and you can request quotes in any month.

How these services are bought here

Ongoing accounting is quoted per month, while registration and one-off jobs are quoted per company or per project. Check whether a price includes GST, the goods and services tax, because the snippets separate GST-registered companies, which pay higher monthly accounting rates. Most work can be done remotely, but a visit is needed for on-site work such as security for premises and events, so tell sellers which area you are in: Singapore, Tampines, Jurong West, Woodlands or Ang Mo Kio.

What to put in your request

Name the service and the size of the business: how many staff, whether the company is GST-registered, how many transactions a month and which accounting software you use. Say whether you need a one-off job or a monthly service, and give a budget per month or per project. Sellers can then quote in S$ and say what is included.
