Are Singapore Company shareholder data publicly accessible?

[MarkusCostigan]

Hi guys, what shareholder(s) data is publicly accessible for a pte LTD in Singapore? For example from Acra or BizFile.

Thank you.

 

[Moonlighter]

Yes it's public, but you need to pay a fee to access it.

 

[MarkusCostigan]

Thank you. What kind of data are available? Is the UBO's residential address publicly accessible?‌

**shareholder

Found this list of public available information if you pay‍ that small fee.

• Shareholders and share capital details
  
• Directors, company secretary, and officers
  
• Financial year-end⁠ information
  
• Paid-up capital
  
• Business activity codes (SSIC)
  
• Shareholding structure and breakdown
  
• Company constitution (optional download)⁤

Name, address and passport number will be public for individual shareholders.

you sure about this, that would be strange.‌

 

[Alexmorgan]

And then a women will make a plan on you to marry her then provoke⁤ you to divorce her to get a lovely money from you

Or just normal scammers⁣

 

[mraleph]

Form a US⁤ corporation - Wyoming or Delaware, not New Mexico or Nevada - privacy wise - and⁣ make that entity as a Singaporean company member or shareholder. UBO registry in Singapore -⁢ Registry of registrable controllers - isn't public. Relative privacy and anonymity may be achieved for︀ plethora of risks.

 

[Moonlighter]

Yes, in‌ the ACRA business profile there is a field with "ID".

 

[brianK]

You mean that would⁤ protect your information to be public? It's a large setup!

 

[mraleph]

That is protecting personal information, particularly if a corporation is structured‍ in Wyoming and nominee director is used. Large setup? There are no simple solutions anymore,⁠ only mouse traps.

For those of you, who are interested in how exactly the report with the publicly‌ available information looks like, here is an official sample:

came handy, I just wanted to ask how this report looks.

 

[uplana]

I totally agree with you, the time for simple SC or⁠ BZ offshore company setups is over, you need to do more and what is explained⁤ above is the right path.

 

[MarkusCostigan]

Can this also work⁤ with a Delaware LLC with a registered agent instead of a corporation?

 

[ilke]

Yes, why not, but it will decrease your chances/capabilities‍ of banking the Pte. Ltd. Bringing US into the mix inside foreign structures is not⁠ ideal for banks. Would probably be better to just use a decently reputable general offshore⁤ entity (e.g., Cayman, BVI)

 

[laksaboy]

Specifically, there is no UBO registry in Singapore's ACRA registry. For the Registry of registrable‌ controllers, a corporate shareholder with more than 25% shares can be listed as the controller.‍

Also, residential address can be protected from public by input a contact address. as the⁠ Acra business profile will extract the contact address instead of the residential address.
