To register a company, you need a registered address in Singapore so that the company can be contacted via mail. However, it is not necessary for the registered office address to be the place where the business operates.
According to the Singapore Business Registration Act, all individuals or institutions conducting business in Singapore are required to register with the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA), and any details about changes in the owner, managers or business partners must be made known to ACRA within the specified time period.
