We talked about the technicalities; we talked about the business structures. So now is the time to talk about different licenses you might need for doing business in Singapore. In my previous blogs, I have always mentioned that Singapore is a very Pro-business country. That applies here as well. Ok, you need certain licenses to get your business started, but the point to be noted is that it is a very simple to get one.
For the starters, most business entities do not need more than a Certificate of Registration or Incorporation from the registry of Companies and Businesses (RCB) to carry on business. However certain types of business entities need the necessary approvals and licenses from Government Authorities so as to safeguard the public when health, environmental, security or moral interests are involved.
So it is for your own good, that do check the requirement for any approvals or licenses before you actually begin you business. You can do that easily on www.business.gov.sg
