Frequently Asked Questions

💬 1. Why do I need a company secretary in Singapore?

Answer:

Under the Singapore Companies Act, every locally incorporated company must appoint a company secretary within 6 months of incorporation. The company secretary ensures your business stays compliant with ACRA by:

Preparing and filing Annual Returns
Maintaining statutory registers and records
Drafting resolutions for corporate changes
Advising on compliance and governance matters

At EQ Assurance, our corporate secretarial team helps you stay on top of all statutory requirements — so you can focus on growing your business with confidence.

💬 2. Can I be my own company secretary?

Answer:

If you’re the sole director of your company, you’re not allowed to also act as the company secretary.

The company secretary must:

Be ordinarily resident in Singapore (e.g., Singapore Citizen, PR, or EP holder), and
Be qualified and experienced in corporate compliance

Many businesses choose to outsource this role to professionals like EQ Assurance to avoid unnecessary risk and ensure smooth, timely filings.
