Why a Registered Address Is Mandatory

Under Singapore law, every company must have a local registered address at the time of incorporation. This address is where official correspondence from regulatory authorities like ACRA and IRAS is sent, and it must be a physical location in Singapore (not a P.O. Box).

For many startups, remote teams, or foreign-owned companies, renting a traditional office just to meet this requirement is impractical. That’s where virtual office services come in.

What Is a Virtual Office?

A virtual office provides your business with:

  • A legally compliant registered address for ACRA registration

  • Mail handling and notification services

  • Optional mail forwarding and document collection

  • A professional business address to list on websites, invoices, and contracts

It offers a cost-effective alternative to renting or leasing physical office space, especially for businesses that do not need a full-time commercial office.

Benefits of Using a Virtual Office in Singapore

  1. ACRA Compliance
    Fulfil your legal requirement for a registered office with no need for a physical presence.

  2. Cost Savings
    Eliminate the costs of office rental, utilities, and office maintenance.

  3. Professional Image
    Use a central business district (CBD) address to enhance your credibility.

  4. Ideal for Foreign Entrepreneurs
    Incorporate in Singapore without needing to relocate or lease office space.

  5. Mail Management Convenience
    Get real-time updates on incoming mail and forward important documents globally.

  6. Privacy Protection
    Use a business address instead of your residential address in public records.

Who Should Use a Virtual Office?

  • Startups operating remotely or from home

  • Foreign companies expanding into Singapore

  • E-commerce and online service providers

  • Freelancers and consultants

  • Businesses with minimal in-person customer interaction
