Easy Start
<\/strong>Compared to many countries that are considered as business hubs, it is easier and quicker to register a company in Singapore as the process takes only one day to complete given all the proper requirements are completed and the application is duly submitted. Owning a company in Singapore can be set up by anyone including foreigners. An easy and fast procedure availability of an online system has been made by the incorporation where you can submit your application forms via the internet online.<\/p>

Incentives<\/strong>
The Economic Development Board (EDB) offers regional headquarters (RHQ) and international headquarters (IHQ) incentives. Companies that are conferred the RHQ status enjoy a concessionary tax rate of 15% for qualifying income arising from headquarters activities and operations carried out from Singapore. Those awarded IHQ status enjoy even further attractive tax rates of between zero and 10%.\u00a0Regional headquarters which use Singapore as an international intellectual property (IP) holding location may claim writing-down allowance (WDA) for the cost of acquisition of the IP.<\/p>

Strategic Position<\/strong>
Singapore preserves good international connections with other countries when it comes to trade and industry.\u00a0Since the signing of the\u00a0first FTA under the ASEAN Free Trade Area (AFTA) in 1993, Singapore\u2019s network of FTAs now includes 21 bilateral and regional FTAs in force and 41 Investment Guarantee Agreements. Ongoing FTA negotiations with other countries are being facilitated.\u00a0These agreements facilitate business and trading across borders and make it less costly for Singapore firms to expand their operations internationally.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
