\n

Since 9 June 2025, a nominee director acting by way of business in Singapore must be arranged by an ACRA-registered corporate service provider. This guide ranks 7 providers on 6 checks you can verify yourself, from ACRA filing agent status to what the nominee will and won\u2019t do. VIVOS publishes the guide and meets all six.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Written by the VIVOS team (ACRA Registered Filing Agent FA20240323, MOM Employment Agency Licence 24S2425) and reviewed by Ray Tay, Co-founder. VIVOS publishes this guide and lists itself first. Other providers are ordered by the number of checks they meet, then A\u2013Z, using their own websites and official sources checked on 21 October 2026. No provider paid to be included, and prices and service quality were not compared. This is a shortlist of independent providers, not a full market review.<\/em><\/p>\n

Key facts (October 2026)<\/h2>\n
\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Rule<\/th>\nWhat it means<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
Resident director<\/td>\nEvery Singapore company must have at least one director who is ordinarily resident in Singapore (Companies Act 1967, s145(1)).<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Who can arrange a nominee<\/td>\nSince 9 June 2025, a nominee director acting by way of business must be arranged by an ACRA-registered corporate service provider (CSP Act 2024).<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Fit and proper<\/td>\nThe registered CSP must be satisfied that the nominee is fit and proper, including that they are not disqualified from acting as a director.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Nominee disclosure<\/td>\nA nominee tells the company within 30 days. Since 16 June 2025 the company files nominee details with ACRA\u2019s central register, and nominee status shows on its Business Profile.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Employment Pass holders<\/td>\nAn EP holder can be a director of the company that holds their pass. To be a director of another company, they need MOM\u2019s Letter of Consent.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Unregistered providers<\/td>\nCarrying on a corporate services business without ACRA registration is an offence under the CSP Act 2024.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n

How we ranked these providers<\/h2>\n

We set six pass\/fail checks that matter when a foreign founder needs a locally resident director, and applied them to every provider, VIVOS included. A check is met only when the provider\u2019s own website, or an official register, shows it. Otherwise we record \u2018not stated on its website\u2019, which is not the same as \u2018not offered\u2019.<\/p>\n

VIVOS is listed first because it publishes this guide; it is also the only provider here that meets all six checks. Other providers are ordered by checks met, then A\u2013Z. We did not compare prices or service quality, and no provider paid to appear.<\/p>\n

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Check<\/th>\nWhy it matters<\/th>\nHow to verify<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
1. ACRA filing agent number published<\/td>\nOnly an ACRA-registered CSP may arrange a nominee director by way of business. A published number lets you confirm the registration.<\/td>\nSearch the firm with Bizfile\u2019s entity search<\/a>.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
2. Company secretary service in-house<\/td>\nThe company secretary keeps the nominee register and files director changes, so it helps when the same team arranges the nominee.<\/td>\nThe provider\u2019s own service pages.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
3. Own MOM Employment Agency licence<\/td>\nMost founders replace the nominee once they hold an Employment Pass. A licensed employment agency can file that pass.<\/td>\nSearch the MOM EA Directory<\/a>.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
4. Incorporation, accounting and tax in-house<\/td>\nKeeps the company\u2019s set-up, books and tax filings with the provider that knows who the nominee is.<\/td>\nThe provider\u2019s own service pages.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
5. Corporate bank account opening support<\/td>\nBanks ask who the directors are and how the nominee fits. Help with that file can speed up account opening.<\/td>\nThe provider\u2019s own service pages.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
6. Publishes what the nominee will and won\u2019t do<\/td>\nYou should know before signing whether the nominee stays out of management, bank signing and shareholdings, and how they resign.<\/td>\nThe provider\u2019s nominee director page.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n

1. VIVOS: meets 6 of 6 checks<\/h3>\n

VIVOS Pte. Ltd. (UEN 202416468C) is a Singapore corporate services and immigration firm at 14B Stanley Street, incorporated in 2024. It is an ACRA Registered Filing Agent (FA20240323), holds MOM Employment Agency Licence 24S2425, and has its own companies in Malaysia, Hong Kong and the UAE.<\/p>\n

Its nominee resident director service sits alongside incorporation, a registered address, the company secretary, accounting and tax, and corporate bank account opening support. The nominee holds no shares and runs nothing: day-to-day control stays with the founder. Each engagement includes identity verification, written indemnity terms and CSP Act registration checks before anything is filed on Bizfile.<\/p>\n

Because VIVOS is also a licensed employment agency, the same team can file the founder\u2019s Employment Pass and then appoint the founder as the resident director in place of the nominee once the pass is approved. How nominee arrangements work, and what they usually cost, is set out in our resident director guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Suits: foreign founders who want the nominee, company secretary, accounting and their own work pass handled by one licensed team, with group companies in Malaysia, Hong Kong and the UAE if they expand. Talk to VIVOS<\/a>.<\/p>\n

How to choose a nominee director service: 6 questions to ask<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Is the provider registered with ACRA, and what is its filing agent number? Check it on Bizfile before you sign.<\/li>\n
  2. Who is the nominee, and how did the provider confirm they are fit and proper and not disqualified from acting as a director?<\/li>\n
  3. What will the nominee not do? Look for written limits on management, bank signing rights and shareholdings.<\/li>\n
  4. What do you sign in return: an indemnity, a security deposit, a resignation letter held on file?<\/li>\n
  5. Who files the nominee details with ACRA\u2019s central register, and who keeps the company\u2019s own register?<\/li>\n
  6. How do you exit? Ask how the nominee resigns, and how quickly a founder with an Employment Pass can take over as the resident director.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
