Singapore ranks 17th best for business startup

It only takes two days to set up a business in Singapore.

Singapore ranked 17th in the list of best countries to start a business in, Business Name Generator reported.

Of the 52 countries analysed, Singapore has the shortest time to set up (two days) a business and the highest GDP per capita out of all the top 20 countries ($69,044).

On the top of the list was Hungary, followed by the Netherlands and the United Arab Emirates. The Philippines is the most challenging country to start a business.

The report also stated that Singapore is the second most expensive country for hot desking at $314 per month, following Saudi Arabia at $363 per month.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
