Key points
ACRA directs owners to Corppass, available from one day after UEN issuance, and to GoBusiness for activity-specific licensing checks. Import or export operations may need Customs arrangements. Download the free Business Profile within 60 days. Keep registration renewal and applicable MediSave obligations on the compliance calendar.
Planning your next steps
Before employing staff, review CPF and employment responsibilities. Data protection and tax obligations also need attention, including whether GST registration applies. ACRA's page distinguishes tax treatment for sole proprietors and partnerships. Establishing a dedicated business account and organised records is a practical next step, but the correct licences and ongoing requirements depend on the actual activities and ownership structure.
