Singapore is the hub of businesses where a professional can easily get himself a potential spot and start working on it. Singapore citizenship advises you that your best decision should be to confide in and take a step further in your entrepreneurship dream with our expert advice by your side every step of the way. Obtaining relevant information about the process of setting up a business in Singapore is a vital step. Without understanding the business incorporation policies in-depth, a non-citizen can’t achieve an acceptable outcome. The first step is to learn the right measures for setting up the business and the second is to ensure that your business is in alignment with the local immigration laws. Once you find the alignment robust and healthy, you are ready to take on the business responsibilities.

The massive business industry budding in Singapore is so well fortified that even the global pandemic failed to suppress its strategic improvisation and development for too long. It is a central attraction point for most organizations all around the world. The country’s extraordinary entrepreneurship laws and policies have caused the industry to grow in both small and large dimensions.

Despite the havoc of COVID-19 and its extensive global impact on the worldwide economy, Singapore stood its guard and as a result of its strong system, the business-friendly country bagged the first position in the World Competitiveness Ranking formulated by the Institute for Management Development (IMD) in June 2020.

With the right choice of partner, the policies and laws associated with the Entrepreneurship opportunities for a Singapore citizen whether he is an investor, budding entrepreneur, or a corporate level individual could be as seamless as possible.

Why Singapore is the ultimate dream location for setting up a business

Singapore has what it takes for your business to thrive. In June 2020, Singapore has retained the top spot as the World’s most competitive economy in the latest edition of the Institute for Management Development’s (IMD) World Competitiveness Ranking. The Global Competitiveness Report evaluates an annual list of 63 economies, which analyses their ability to generate prosperity. Making up the top five after Singapore were Denmark, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and Hong Kong – which economists duly noted as illustrating the ‘strength and resilience of many small economies’, rather than a single major player in dealing with Covid-19.

Being an active promoter of the economy and claiming the first position in the World Competitiveness Ranking prepared by the Institute for Management Development (IMD) in June 2020, Singapore has managed to retain a top-notch position in the world. Followed by Singapore, only Denmark, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and Hong Kong managed to qualify for the economically potential countries that could bring prosperity and strength to the country’s economy and security. Having said that, Singapore remains the only entrepreneurial country to survive the pandemic by reporting the least economic downfall throughout the year. The major reason why ASEAN and Asia choose to reside in Singapore for a long term with the intent to build their headquarters and operate it is because of the following entrepreneurial attributes offered by the country to its citizens.

Stabilized Government affairs and politics
Added Government advantage to the citizens in terms of Taxation, Laws, and Intellectual Property policies.
The quality standard of life
Extensive Entrepreneurial Services
Diverse Infrastructure supporting Art and Connectivity
Rich in talent and professional expertise
Easy Access to progressive markets and industries

In recent statements made by the Prime Minister of Singapore, Lee Hsien Loong, the possibility of a better future where “Singapore is well placed to connect to the new channels and flows” seems to be highly guaranteed. Optimal results are expected to unveil after “Digitising both private and public sectors, building R&D and innovation capabilities”. The Prime Minister also added that this approach is expected to “Retain and Attract talent, and making investments to contribute to the economy”.

On May 30, 2020, a big step for the future stabilization of Singapore came to light when Channel News Asia reported a whopping investment of S$13 billion procured by the Economic Development Board of Singapore (EDB) to secure the commitments of the impending years. Likewise, the numbers increased from S$8 to S$10 billion to ensure that the country is in safe hands and undisrupted during the COVID-19 pandemic. As assured by the Prime Minister while standing amidst closed doors, “When other countries are closing their doors, we are keeping ours open*”.
