About Singapore

Singapore - Night

Strategically located at the heart of Asia, Singapore is the location of first choice for companies.

Singapore offers a superb economic and social infrastructure, political stability and a liberal and secure banking system.

The government of Singapore actively supports companies by granting suitable tax and economic incentives.

All large companies have their Asian headquarters or at least a branch in Singapore. All the major banks in the world are represented in Singapore anyway because of the secure banking system.

A city state with 4.3 million people, without any of its own natural resources and with a history of only 40 years, it has become one of largest trading nations in the world.

New companies in Singapore benefit from the geographical location and the continuously expanding economy.

There are no currency controls or restrictions on bringing in capital, on the repatriation of capital and/or profits and currencies. The administration works extremely quickly using up-to-date technology. There are no controls or requirements for continuous transfers, payments or repatriation of profits.

The courts and the state are the guarantors for a modern fast-working court system.

Taxes in Singapore are low compared with many other industrial countries. Singapore has double taxation agreements with most industrial nations.
