E27 spoke withSharon Lim谁在Hawksford领导了我们的企业秘书专业人士为客户提供企业咨询和支持，以确保他们符合监管要求和保持最佳实践，标准和公司治理。拥有超过18年的经验，她为Rajah＆Tann和Boardroom工作了解。
合并公司不仅仅是支付费用并签署几种形式的简单问题。虽然初创公司是精益服装，但可以由团队组成，仍然是两个人的团队，它们仍然符合严格的监管和合规性要求。因此，企业家将采取合格的专业公司，以管理其后端办公室管理，例如公司秘书和会计，以便他们可以专注于他们的核心业务活动。
“我们在招聘行业的客户之一正在使用在线招聘门户网站，并且他们错误地认为他们不会受到任何额外要求，例如就业机构（EA）许可证，”Sharon说。企业家需要注意的是，即使他们在在线空间中运营，管理其行业的法律也可能仍适用于他们。
“客户继续开展业务，但发现，因为他没有EA许可，他无法保护业务合同，因为没有许可证的业务并不合法。然后他来到Hawksford寻求帮助的EA许可申请。“

Taxation
E27 spoke withLee Meng Teng who heads up our Tax and Accounting team in Singapore - a senior chartered accountant with more than 15 years of professional experience. He has worked for the Big Four and Top 10 International Accounting Firms, and has good understanding of business environments across diverse industries.
孟腾强烈建议企业家不要成为企业税的骑师。
“当企业家在新加坡开始业务时，他们对收入感兴趣，并渴望在经济上取得成功。但是，税收也应该是优先事项。这样，他们了解为新加坡公司开展业务，税收豁免和税收利益的税收影响，“孟腾。
“For example, many entrepreneurs adopt cash-basis accounting which makes more sense to them: ‘whatever I see in the bank is what I have.’ But the right way is to understand and maintain the accounting books on an accrual basis where revenue and expenses are matched to the period where the business transactions took place.”
如果该公司未按时间提交年度回报，本公司的非合规性评级将发表在ACRA的业务备案门户网站上。这可能导致潜在的交易和客户的损失，因为它可能意味着公司的书籍不是为了秩序，孟腾谨慎。
新加坡政府积极鼓励初创公司的成长，作为其智能国家驱动器的一部分，并制定了税收制度才能启动友好。举措包括;新的启动公司和税收扣除的税收豁免，以资格验证知识产权相关费用。
Subject to meeting certain qualifying conditions, startups enjoy full tax exemption for the first S$100,000 of their chargeable income for YA2019 and before. But that is said to change to 75 per cent (with effect from YA2020 onwards), as highlighted in新加坡财政部长恒斯帕特凯特的预算2018年讲话.
资格初始初创公司将继续享受较低的有效税率，而不是标题公司税率为17％。
随着如此慷慨的减税，公司拥有更多的资金来备用，这可以促进产品开发，招聘和市场扩张等关键开支。
也在里面Budget 2018 announcement,恒部长表示，新加坡政府将筹集税收扣除商业利用知识产权的许可。这些税收扣除将增加200％，并以每年100,000澳元汇集。
政府还将提高IP登记费（从100％到200％）的税收扣除，以及该国研发所产生的资格费用（从15％到20％）。
这一切的意义是，更多的初创公司可以在现有的版权技术上花费以进一步购买自己的创新，同时获得自己的产品。

E27 spoke withJacqueline Low, Hawksford’s COO in Asia. She has acted as Company Secretary for several hundred Singapore-based firms over the past 20 years, and managed several corporate secretarial departments for businesses. Having been involved in businesses across Asia, particularly Malaysia, Hong Kong, Brunei and Vietnam, she has developed a unique understanding of how these different jurisdictions work and operate.
新加坡政府一直欢迎外国人才，然而，它旨在确保对外部人才有真正需要，并建立这些技能和专业知识可以转移到当地的新加坡人/公关。
不要混淆： Employment Pass (EP)借Entrepreneur Pass (EntrePass):在新加坡,有几种类型的工作es. EPs are usually reserved for employees of a company whereas, if you are a business owner looking to relocate your company to Singapore, you can apply for the EntrePass. |
对于EP，考虑了几个因素：该人的经验，凭证，公司结构，活动和商业计划。
曾经一次，Intrepass计划对于外国企业家来到新加坡来开始他们的业务。批准的审议是基于业务计划，经验，相关性，确保业务符合商业支出和雇用当地新加坡人/公关的要求。
About three years ago the scheme was tightened, and entrepreneurs faced more stringent requirements for example; they needed to be an Incubatee working with a government approved Incubator or needed to have funding from a government approved Venture Capitalist. However, there were entrepreneurs who do not meet these prerequisites, but had the capital and know-how to start a business, and therein lay the quandary.
2017年，新加坡政府通过修改Entrepass计划标准来加强规则。创业轨道记录和业务网络和成就被添加到专业领域，使得标准更相关。这与满足商业支出和当地就业的要求一起继续保护新加坡核心劳动力，同时仍然吸引新加坡企业。
“在一天结束时，当局希望了解企业如何为新加坡经济和社区做出贡献。例如;缴纳税收和当地员工的招聘。这适用于所有行业，“Jacqueline说。简而言之，如果企业家有明确的证据，他们可以运行公司并向当地生态系统增加价值，他们可能有资格入住。
关于EP应用程序和续订的重要观点
未能妥善提交税收，并及时可以防止企业家或员工确保或维护其EP。在他们的个人税宣言中，员工需要宣布并支付反映在其EP申请的薪水金额。不合规可能会对他们的ep更新产生不利影响。
战略性地投资于专业公司服务中的营业费用
E27 spoke withKerlyn Teoh who manages and coordinates client services at Hawksford, her role involves understanding a client’s requirement, anticipating possible challenges and delivering solutions that will give international clients one less thing to worry about.
If you have read this far, you would have probably figured out that starting a company isn’t a simply a matter of having the capital and business expertise to start one; there’s a lot of paperwork and checks involved, even for a country as business-friendly as Singapore.
Hawksford offer a complete suite of robust solutions to ensure a company’s business operations runs smoothly from Day 1. They take pride in maintaining a 98 per cent success rate for the companies who engage in their services to becoming successfully incorporated.
创始人提示： Find a corporate services team that carries a wealth of experience并与来自不同行业和背景的企业合作。他们将是准备好花时间倾听客户的需求的人，了解他们的要求并解决他们可能不知道的任何挑战，使他们能够实现他们的野心。 |
如果需要，Hawksford也可以作为企业家和税务人员之间的中间人。
“When a company comes to us, we ensure compliance is met with the local authorities and establish whether a license is required. Upon confirmation, we provide the statutory requirements in terms of filing, to ACRA and to IRAS as well. We facilitate regular and ongoing compliance checks and due diligence” shares Kerlyn.
Citing a client case, Kerlyn highlights how her team can also help entrepreneurs whose business filings are in disarray.
“There was a business which did not comply with the necessary requirements and hence were not compliant with the Companies Act, which is an offense. Their annual filings were also not done on time and the necessary registers were not set up which was in breach of the companies act,” says Kerlyn.
“我们突出了客户关于必要的要求，清理了他们的书籍，我们通过记录看看，看看公司法案中的某些物品所需的差距填补了什么。我们的帮助重新建立了与当局的良好站立。“
可以说，不应低估吸引可靠合作伙伴管理企业事务的重要性。Nitty Gritty业务行政事项，如果没有按顺序排列，会导致长期的强调和不必要的费用，从他们首先启动业务的原因中分散了企业家的分散注意力，建立创新产品。
