The role

A reliable Nominee Director to navigate local compliance.

Why your company needs a resident director

Under the Singapore Companies Act, every Pte. Ltd. must have at least one director who is ordinarily resident in Singapore. Foreign founders waiting for an Employment Pass typically appoint a Nominee Director to satisfy this rule.

What a Nominee Director actually does

Our nominee assumes the statutory legal responsibilities of a director but takes no part in the day-to-day running of your business. You stay in full control of operations, hiring, banking, and strategy.

Flexible terms that match your stage

Pick a 3, 6 or 12-month engagement. Once you secure your own work pass and can act as a resident director, the nominee resigns — quickly and cleanly.

FAQ

Quick answers about Nominee Directors.

Yes — Singapore law requires every company to have at least one director who is ordinarily resident here at all times. If you don't yet qualify (typically because you're awaiting an Employment Pass), a Nominee Director satisfies the requirement. Once your own work pass is approved you can become the sole director and we'll arrange the nominee's resignation.
