Frequently Asked Questions: Corporate Practice

Practical answers concerning annual filings, nominee directorship, and corporate bank accounts.

Under Section 175 of the Singapore Companies Act, a private company must hold its AGM within 6 months after the financial year-end (FYE), and lodge its Annual Return with ACRA within 7 months of FYE. Private companies can also pass a resolution to dispense with holding physical AGMs.
Zero operational power. Fastcorp's resident nominee directors serve strictly in a non-executive capacity to fulfill Section 145(1) statutory requirements. They do not hold bank signing rights, cannot access funds, and have no involvement in commercial operations. Full operational control remains with you.
XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language) is a standardized electronic format for corporate financial reporting. Under ACRA rules, all Singapore companies limited by shares must file their financial statements in XBRL format via BizFinx unless they are solvent Exempt Private Companies (EPCs). Fastcorp prepares and maps your accounts to the ACRA Taxonomy.
