ACRA compliance is not optional for Singapore companies. The only real question is how much founder time and administrative risk you want to carry yourself.
Under the Singapore Companies Act, every company must appoint a qualified corporate secretary within 6 months of incorporation. This isn't just a title — it's a statutory role responsible for maintaining legal hygiene and meeting mandatory ACRA filing deadlines.
Failing to submit Annual Returns, missing AGM windows, or keeping outdated registers of directors and controllers leads directly to non-compliance. ACRA actively monitors and enforces these duties, meaning the administrative workload rests entirely on whoever holds the role.
Compare the structural differences between self-filing and dedicated support.
Suitable for single-director setups with ample administrative time and deep familiarity with ACRA processes.
Perfect for growing startups and active firms wanting absolute compliance peace of mind on a fixed plan.
These are the standard, recurring actions you must manage to stay legal under the Companies Act.
Preparing and lodging the annual return with ACRA within 30 days of your AGM. Requires precise input of financial highlights, or uploading XBRL data where applicable.
Drafting annual general meeting agendas, notices, and voting resolutions. If skipping physical meetings, you must draft and coordinate formal Written Resolutions instead.
Manually maintaining five distinct registers: Members, Directors, Secretaries, Controllers (RORC), and Charges. These must match ACRA records exactly at all times.
Filing official notices within 14 days of appointing or resigning directors, updating residential addresses, or relocating your registered corporate headquarters.
DIY has a lower sticker price, but managing statutory filings yourself carries invisible costs.
Filing on your own means spending continuous hours every quarter checking guidelines, formatting drafts, and tracking exact submission windows. For an active founder, those hours are often better spent on sales, product, and operations.
