Corporate Secretary in Singapore
The statutory company secretary every Singapore company must appoint within six months of incorporation. ACRA requires the secretary to be a natural person ordinarily resident in Singapore, and the sole director cannot also be the company secretary — both VERIFIED on ACRA's appointing-officers page. The role covers maintaining the statutory registers (members, directors, controllers), preparing resolutions and minutes, and lodging ACRA filings — the annual return, officer and share changes and Central RORC updates — on time. Failure to appoint a secretary within six months is an ACRA enforcement matter.

Cost breakdown
Our fee and the government’s are always separate lines. Government fees are passed through at exactly what the authority charges — we add nothing to them.
| Government fee to lodge the appointmentThe role itself carries no statutory charge. ACRA lodgement fees apply per transaction, but only the name (S$15), registration (S$300) and annual return (S$60) lines were read from ACRA's fees page in this research run, so no amount is stated for an officer-appointment lodgement.
