WhatsApp quoteSingapore company formation takes 1 to 3 working days (Monday to Friday) once documents are in order, and GoldenKey coordinates the local agents, documents and bank introductions from Ajman. Many of our customers add a Singapore entity to their UAE structure because a Singapore holding company above a UAE operating entity is a classic structure for Asia-Gulf groups. Switzerland is one of the UAE's largest trading partners by value thanks to gold and precious-metal flows through DMCC, which gives Swiss entrepreneurs a ready market and supply chain the moment their Singapore licence is issued. The most common businesses Swiss nationals open through GoldenKey are in wealth management, commodities, watches and luxury and pharmaceuticals, although Singapore supports almost any activity.
Why Singapore
Importantly, reasons founders choose Singapore include asia's most trusted jurisdiction, strong banks and fintech ecosystem, 80+ double tax treaties and english-language common law. Put simply, requirements for a Singapore company are at least one resident director (GoldenKey arranges a nominee), a company secretary within six months and a registered Singapore address. Day to day, many Swiss founders run Singapore companies alongside an existing business in Switzerland, using the UAE entity for international invoicing and regional sales.

Frequently asked questions
Can my UAE company own the Singapore company?
Yes. A UAE free zone or mainland company can be the shareholder, which is a common structure for groups operating in both markets.
How does Singapore compare with a UAE free zone?
Each serves different markets. GoldenKey in most cases recommends the UAE as the operating base and Singapore where you have customers, suppliers or treaty benefits there.
Do I need to travel to Singapore to incorporate?
In most cases no. Incorporation is handled by our local partner under a power of attorney. Some banks in Singapore require a video or in-person meeting.
Can a Swiss citizen own 100% of a company in Singapore?
Yes, it can. Swiss nationals can own the full share capital of a Singapore company with no local partner, exactly like any other nationality.
Can my family from Switzerland join me?
As a rule, once your investor visa is granted you can sponsor your spouse and children, and GoldenKey processes their visas alongside yours.
