What Are Nominee Directors/Resident Directors?

In simpler terms, a nominee director is an individual that has a permanent registered address in Singapore who holds a director role in a company.

This individual can be a Singapore citizen, a permanent resident of Singapore or a Singapore employment pass holder.

It is a non-executive role, so you remain in control of the affairs of the company.

For a non-Singaporean resident to carry out company incorporation in the country, the Singapore Companies Act requires them to employ a Singaporean resident for the local resident director role in the board of company directors.

What is the Singapore Companies Act?

The Singapore Companies Act was first established in 1967, with further amendments in 2014 and 2017.

Every company in Singapore is subject to this Companies Act as it oversees all business operations from incorporation to management.

In other words, Singapore’s company act is the corporate regulatory authority within the country.

Some of the requirements and obligations all companies in Singapore must take include:

• displaying company registration numbers in all business letters
• financial and account statements in accordance with the prescribed accounting standards by the Accounting Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA)
• the employment of a Singapore resident to hold the local director role.

Non-compliance to the Companies Act can set many company owners in Singapore in a dire financial state.

Companies found to be non-compliant may face a hefty fine of SGD$100,000 and offenders may also be imprisoned for up to 3 years if charged with intent to defraud.

At Gateway of Asia, we worry about all that, for you.

We take care of regular business tasks so you can achieve the spectacular.

Our nominee director services terms can be based on:

Ensure strict compliance with the law

A nominee director is strictly there to ensure statutory compliance to the Singapore Companies Act.

This nominee director does not have an active, permanent role within the company’s business operations and does not have a direct influence in making management, financial and operational decisions within the company.

You may wonder: “So why can’t I just hire a local friend to take on the nominee director role?”

Nominee directors still require experience with local laws, as they can still be prosecuted if found breaching the law.

Therefore it is extremely important to hire a nominee director in Singapore that is knowledgeable and experienced with Singapore’s legal requirements.

Gateway of Asia ensures compliance of your company with the law, without you needing to lift a finger.

Our flexible nominee director services can be short term or long term.

We ensure that both you and the nominee director are aware of the responsibilities and boundaries of the role and remain strictly in compliance with Singapore’s labour laws.
