Common mistakes to avoid
✗ Confusing the Registration Number with the UEN.
✓ Always use the UEN as it is the singular identifier used across all Singapore government agencies.
✗ Assuming all financial data is public.
✓ Small companies or EPCs (Exempt Private Companies) may not be required to file full audited accounts if they meet certain turnover thresholds.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a UEN?▾
UEN (Unique Entity Number) is a standard identification number for all entities registered in Singapore. It's a 9 or 10-character alphanumeric code used for all government transactions. Format: XXXXXXXXX for businesses, TXXYYXXXXL for local companies.
What is a Pte Ltd?▾
Private Limited Company (Pte Ltd) is Singapore's most common entity type. It requires minimum S$1 paid-up capital, at least 1 director who is a Singapore resident, and a local registered address. There's no minimum capital requirement.
How do I search Singapore companies?▾
ACRA's BizFile+ portal provides free basic search by company name or UEN. Detailed BizFile profiles (including directors, shareholders, financial statements) can be purchased for S$5.50 per profile.
Why do companies choose Singapore?▾
Singapore offers 17% corporate tax rate (with exemptions reducing effective rate for startups), no capital gains tax, extensive double taxation agreements (90+ countries), political stability, strong rule of law, and strategic access to Asian markets.
How do I search for a company in Singapore by name?▾
Use the available lookup or the linked official ACRA service. Start with the legal name, then compare the exact UEN number and available identity fields. Name matches are candidates; source coverage and partial-name support vary.
Is the Singapore company register free to search?▾
Basic company lookup is free on LemReveal. The official Singapore register has independent access rules and may require an account or charge for searches, extracts or particular documents. Check the source's current terms.
Can I search Singapore companies by registration number?▾
Where the source supports it, use the exact UEN number together with its register or jurisdiction. Preserve prefixes and leading zeros and compare the returned legal name. A number alone does not guarantee coverage or a successful lookup.
How do I check whether a company is registered in Singapore?▾
Search the exact UEN number or legal name above, then confirm the entity's identifier and source. An empty result can reflect coverage limits, a source outage, spelling or a different jurisdiction; it does not prove the business is unregistered. A fuzzy candidate is not a confirmed identity.
How can I tell if a Singapore company is still active?▾
Read the status and effective date where the ACRA supplies them. Active registration does not establish trading or financial health. Monitoring is available only for supported sources and confirmed records; verify the actual watch state.
How do I find a company's UEN number?▾
Identify the legal entity using the available lookup or official ACRA route. Record the UEN only where supplied, with its source and jurisdiction. Do not infer missing identifiers from a similar name.
