If you're a foreign entrepreneur looking to set up a business in Singapore, appointing a Nominee Director is essential to meet local regulatory requirements. Every Singapore company must have at least one local resident director who is a Singapore Citizen or Permanent Resident. Our Nominee Director service provides a compliant, non-executive solution—ensuring you meet statutory obligations without compromising control over your business. We act strictly in name, allowing you full operational freedom while maintaining your legal standing with ACRA.
Let K.Merleone handle compliance—so you can focus on growth.
Professional Directorship To Fulfill Singapore’s Compliance Needs
The Role of a Nominee Director in Singapore
​
To comply with Singapore’s legal requirement for at least one locally resident director, companies—particularly those with foreign ownership—often appoint a Nominee Director. This individual fulfils the statutory obligation without participating in day-to-day management or decision-making, ensuring regulatory compliance while the business retains full operational control.
​
Engage a trusted Nominee Director through K.Merleone—so you can stay compliant, focused, and in control.

​​
For foreign business owners planning to relocate and manage operations in Singapore, appointing a Nominee Director is an essential first step to meet statutory requirements during incorporation.
Once your company is set up, we recommend applying for an Employment Pass or EntrePass. Upon approval, the foreign director will be recognised as a local resident, thereby fulfilling the local director requirement. At that point, the Nominee Director service can be safely terminated.
