September 14, 2010 - With Singapore’s strong economy, world-class infrastructure, pragmatic government, and corporate tax benefits, the country has always been considered as one of the best business hubs in the Asia Pacific region.
With this, the city-state has created three business entities specifically for foreign businessmen and investors who want to have an auxiliary company in Singapore, according to business solutions provider AsiaBiz.
“These business entities—the subsidiary company, branch office, and representative office have a specific purpose and advantages. With this consideration, any businessman should first determine their main goal and reasons why they want to form a Singapore company,” an AsiaBiz spokesman said.
For foreign businessmen and investors planning to engage in a full-blown operation, they may register a subsidiary company or branch office which are the two business entities allowed to perform the same activities of their parent company. But aside from this basic similarity, there is a significant difference between these two.
A subsidiary company, being locally incorporated, is considered as a separate legal entity from its parent company. With this, the main office cannot be legally held liable for losses, debts, and liabilities of its Singapore subsidiary company.
On the other hand, a branch office is considered as a legal extension of its parent company. With such arrangement, the headquarter is directly liable for all the debts, losses, and liabilities of its Singapore branch office.
Being a legal extension of its parent company, a branch office is also treated as a non-resident business and is taxed as a foreign entity. This is not the case for a subsidiary company which can enjoy local tax benefits since it is incorporated in Singapore.
With the advantages of a subsidiary company, AsiaBiz usually recommends this business entity to their foreign clients who want to form a Singapore company or have an auxiliary entity in the country.
AsiaBiz has successfully helped foreign and local entreprenuers form a Singapore company. More information on how to form a Singapore Company.
