Under Section 171 of Singapore’s Companies Act, all companies must appoint a qualified company secretary to ensure full compliance with ACRA regulations. Beyond fulfilling legal requirements, secretarial services help you focus on business growth—not paperwork.
Mandatory Requirement Under Companies Act
All companies need to have a qualified company secretary appointed within 6 months
Company secretary position cannot be left unoccupied for longer than 6 months
Not appointing a secretary could lead to fines or enforcement action
Having a secretary means your company complies with its legal obligations
Ensure Timely ACRA Filings
Every company needs to file Annual Returns to ACRA on time
Late filings may lead to late lodgement penalties
Professional corporate secretaries help track and remind of deadlines
A clean compliance record is crucial for banks, investors, and partnerships
Director Protection & Corporate Governance
Directors are liable for compliance breaches, not just the company
A company secretary files board resolutions and agreements, documents all transfers of shares and changes to corporate structure, and maintains up‑to‑date statutory registers (members, directors, secretaries)
Focus on Growth, Not Paperwork
You don’t have to file annual returns, draft resolutions or maintain statutory records
You don’t need to employ, train and supervise an internal compliance officer
You concentrate on the business, customers and profits

Lancaster provided a legitimate avenue for me to leave my 9 to 5 job and start my own business.

I highly recommend Emilia and her team at One Tax CM to anyone looking for a corp sec team. Our company has been incorporated in Singapore for several years and gone through 2 other corporate sec companies and have been dissatisfied with their lack of response, high turnover rate of staff and thus creating redundant work and email responses on my end, and inexperience which causes recommendations that are not ideal for my company's situation.
One Tax CM solves all these problems. With a dedicated team, you have quick responses even after work hours and strong connections in Singapore that can recommend leaders in different industries that I need.
In the world of corporate secretaries, if you're looking for the cheapest services, you will also get the quality you pay for. While One Tax CM is not the cheapest, they are also far from the most expensive but you'll get the best value here.

Simplify Your Business with Professional
Secretarial Services in Singapore
Running a business in Singapore comes with regulatory responsibilities that can be time-consuming and complex. From maintaining statutory registers to meeting ACRA deadlines, compliance tasks often divert attention from business growth. That’s where One Tax CM steps in. Our expert-led corporate secretarial services help businesses stay compliant, organized, and free to focus on what truly matters—scaling operations and serving customers.
In Singapore, secretarial services go far beyond basic administrative tasks. A company secretary plays a crucial role in ensuring legal compliance, advising on corporate governance, and handling essential statutory duties in line with ACRA regulations.
Core responsibilities include:
Maintaining statutory registers and company records
Preparing and filing board and shareholder resolutions
Filing annual returns and compliance documentation with ACRA
Under Singapore’s Companies Act, every company is legally required to appoint a qualified company secretary. Non-compliance can result in penalties or legal consequences. Having a professional company secretary ensures:
– Personalized Service: Tailored solutions based on your structure and growth stage. – Experienced Professionals: Deep expertise in Singapore’s legal and business framework. – Transparent & Reliable: Clear pricing and prompt delivery of all secretarial services.
– Cost-Effective: Avoid hiring a full-time secretary—pay only for what you need. – Expert Knowledge: Stay updated with changing regulations and compliance trends. – Timely Filings: Eliminate the risk of late submissions and non-compliance penalties.
