Company Secretarial Services in Singapore
Corporate Secretary Fees from $260 per year
Why so cheap?
This is a question we get often, and it’s a fair one.
Many business owners search for the cheapest corporate secretary service in Singapore, but we believe affordability should never come at the cost of compliance. Our pricing is lower simply because the way we deliver our services is different. Most of our front-end workflow, such as onboarding, document collection, reminders, and routine compliance tracking, is automated through our internal systems, and because of this, the time required for a manual checkup for each client is significantly reduced.
When human hours are reduced to complete any standard accounting or corporate secretarial task, the overall cost of delivering the service goes down automatically, and instead of taking that saving for ourselves, we pass it directly on to our customers. But lower fees don’t mean lower service quality. Your filings, compliance work, and all the statutory obligations are still handled by qualified professionals and reviewed under internal controls.
The only difference is that our team focuses their time on accuracy, compliance, and problem-solving where it actually matters, rather than on repetitive administrative work. Our main operating costs are technology infrastructure (secure servers, automated compliance systems) and internal CDD/KYC and regulatory checks. We don’t have heavy overheads such as large office spaces or unnecessary layers, and this is why we’re able to keep our pricing efficient.
But if you ever need any additional support, any custom work or more hands involved, we can arrange that as well, and our pricing is flexible and scales as per your requirements. In short, you’re not paying less because the service is worth less, but you’re paying less because the process is smarter.

Which package to choose?
When people look for a cheap company secretary in Singapore, price is usually the first thing they compare. That’s normal. A lot of basic information—such as filing deadlines, statutory rules, and standard compliance requirements—is already available online through ACRA and other official sources.
If you’re comfortable handling these basics yourself, a lower-cost option can work just fine. Many founders do their own research, double-check things using ACRA’s free support channels, and only need a secretary for routine filings. In those cases, choosing a cheap company secretary Singapore package is a practical and cost-effective choice.
Problems usually start when things go beyond the basics. The moment you need clarity on a specific situation—like changes in directors, shareholders, or company structure—generic answers don’t always help. That’s when having a real person who understands your company, your past filings, and your deadlines becomes important. Saving a small fee isn’t worth the risk of getting something wrong. This is exactly where a Private Secretary makes sense, especially for growing businesses.
There’s also a legal side that can’t be ignored. Under Section 171(4A) of the Singapore Companies Act, 1967, your company cannot go without a company secretary for more than six months. If this requirement is not met, penalties of up to S$1,000 may apply. Whether you choose a budget option or a premium one, compliance is mandatory.
In the end, it comes down to how simple or complex your needs are. A cheap company secretary Singapore option works well for straightforward compliance. But when accuracy, continuity, and proper judgement matter, having dedicated human support can save you far more than it costs.

Ask us anything
Yes, you do — ACRA requires every Singapore business to hire a Corporate Secretary within the first 6 months after the incorporation and later this position can’t be vacant for more than 6 months. Your Corporate Secretary has to be a Singapore resident. You can outsource this service to an agency like us.
No, these are two different roles in the company. Your Corporate Secretary does not receive the director status. However, if the same person wants to be both, Singapore law allows it. In this case, there must be other directors — a single director can’t be a company secretary too.
You need to request changes in Tianlong Client Portal (TCP) – new registered address, replaced directors, officers or shareholders or decided you want a new name for the company. TCP will generate the documents and request for your e-signature.
You have to be a Singapore citizen, or a permanent resident, or an EntrePass holder. Also, you can’t be both the only director and the Corporate Secretary.
For PIEs, you need to have all the qualifications of a Corporate Secretary plus 5 years of experience.
Switching company secretaries is easy. Click on the Sign Up button above, fill up the questionnaires and everything will be done smoothly.
You can appoint your employee as a company secretary as or outsource. Often a company does not have enough secretarial tasks for a full in-house job. When you entrust this role to Tianlong Services, you don’t have to pay a salary and associated taxes.
A company secretary’s duties and functions are to take care of all the necessary documents required by law. It is their job to process every decision and every change your business goes through and report to ACRA accordingly.
They are responsible for:
Maintaining and updating the company’s statutory registers such as the register of substantial shareholders, register of charges, register of members etc. as prescribed by the law.
Sending notices of Annual General Meetings to the members and shareholders. The Secretary must also prepare the agenda and organize these meetings, and record the minutes.
Ensure that the company and its directors abide by the rules set out by the Constitution of the Company at all times.
Ensure that the company’s name and entity number are stated on all the notices, business letters and other official correspondences.
File necessary returns and forms with the Company Registrar within the specified timeline, such as Annual Returns, return of allotment of shares and notice of appointment or resignation of a director.
Most businesses in Singapore don’t require a full-time corporate secretary. By outsourcing this role to Tianlong Services, you can significantly reduce costs while ensuring your company stay compliant.
