Some Points For You To Consider

We suggest that you begin your company transfer discussion with us at least 2-3 weeks prior to the expiration of your previous service provider contract. By doing this, you will have sufficient time in order to confirm the services that you wish from us. It will also give us sufficient time to confirm our fees and to understand your business specifics.

It’s common practice for many Singapore corporate service providers to lock-in their clients into contracts that span several years. They do this in order to compensate for poor service and high fees. It’s advised that you avoid being trapped in a situation such as this by doing business with a company such as ours.

What you need to do?

Once confirmed about transfer of Corporate Secretarial Services, you will need to contact your current Corporate Service provider and ask them to provide resignation of their Secretary and Nominee Director (If using this service). Once we get these documents we can arrange for the transfer and collection of your file from your previous Corporate Secretary service provider.
