How to set up the a Partnership Business in Singapore

1. General Characteristics


A partnership is a legal relationship between two or more persons who carry on a business with the objective of making profit and sharing it between them. As a partnership is not an entity in law, it cannot sue or be sued in its own name and it cannot own property.


Partners are personally liable for all debts and obligations and personal assets are at risks.


A minimum of two owners to a maximum of 20 owners can be either natural persons, companies or natural persons and companies.


While registration with ACRA must be renewed annually there is no need to audit accounts or file annual returns with ACRA.


2. Registration


First, an application for approval and reservation of Partnerhip name has to be filed with the Registrar. Upon approval a partnership is required to be registered online via BizFile with ACRA through a professional business registration firm if none of the partners is local resident.

  • Proposed name of the Partnership
  • Particulars of the partners/managers (foreign passport or Singapore ID)
