A registered office address is a location where all correspondence and notifications about the business are sent, along with a place to hold and maintain all records and registers of the corporation.
The business can have multiple physical locations; however, only one of those locations will be designated as the official corporate registered office address.
Every corporation must ensure that a registered office has hours of operation from 8am - 5pm and is staffed for at least a minimum of three hours during regular business days.
This requirement is intended to provide the public with a way to contact an organisation and to facilitate service in person when delivering legal documents.
Additionally, a registered office will be located in Singapore; however, it is not necessary for the registered office address to be the actual operating location or location of the business activities. For example, the registered office might be located in Raffles Place, but a factory may be in Tuas.
Sole proprietorships or partnerships will have the business address entered when you register them.
A registered office address and a business address generally have fewer requirements compared to using a P.O. Box as the official business address.
Your residential address may be used as your business address if you obtain approval from HDB or URA under the Home Office Scheme. However, using your home address is not recommended due to privacy concerns.
A registered office address would have both an Unique Entity Number (UEN) as well as an HDB number, while a business address would only have one of those numbers.
An operating address is actually the city/town where your company is physically located. There is no set standard operating address required by ACRA, but other government agencies may have additional standards they would like you to follow for your business's operating address.
As an example, the MOM, and the SFA may have specific guidelines regarding the physical address of all types of businesses.
The registered office is the same exact location where your company is officially registered to conduct business in Singapore, however your registered office doesn't have to be your company's actual location of operation.
For example, if your company's registered office is located on Paya Lebar Square, yet your actual manufacturing facility or factory is located in Tuas, then there's no conflict at all in that respect.
Even though the name suggests otherwise, a virtual office still has a real physical location so companies like ACRA will accept them as legitimate company locations.
Registered Office Singapore has a virtual office located at Paya Lebar Square, adjacent to the Paya Lebar MRT Train Station. We provide physical office services like, receiving, storing, shipping, scanning, mailing and relaying of your mail.

The founders of this company are former entrepreneurs who have experienced first-hand the many challenges entrepreneurs encounter in their pursuit of achieving success. One of these challenges is finding a professional office address.
As startups, our temporary office locations frequently changed based on our changing requirements; therefore our offices moved frequently. We discovered that by providing a permanent registered address service that could be used anywhere in Singapore at an affordable price would give entrepreneurs significant relief from the headaches associated with finding a new office location every time they changed their business model.
To remain competitive in price, we have made an investment in our IT systems which enables us to service a large number of accounts with efficiencies associated with the technology we developed as a result of this investment. We have also reduced our risk of human error because of the efficiencies our systems create.
Due to these investments, we can provide the cheapest virtual office service in Singapore and remain profitable.
Many reputable companies also provide meeting room space, including Regus and WeWork. They can also set your meeting up for you through their app/website. They'll have a ton of different rooms available so you're likely to find one that meets your needs.
Because our clients can get a better deal by setting up phone lines through the major telecom companies directly than by us acting as an intermediary. The value we add to our clients by providing phone lines is minimal.
Most of the time, a shared or serviced office works on a temporarily or short-term basis so therefore it is likely that you won't have a permanent location to put your company's registered office.
Your company may change as it grows and may require another company's secretary/accounting to fit its changing needs.
Your business may not have a stable address for the long-term if it uses the secretary or accounting services as its registered address.
Your business cannot use a P.O. Box as its business address, and it cannot receive couriers either.
We can provide a broad range of mail handling solutions, including unlimited mail receipts and self-pick-up services with any of our packages, as well as a number of other options available depending on the package you choose.
If you want to receive, pick up, send or scan your mail, we have a package that fits your needs.
Our refund policy allows for full refunds up to 30 days after purchase, no questions asked (70% refund) if no portion of the virtual address has been used as a registered address through ACRA or other government agencies and if no mail has arrived at the address. Refunds will incur a 30% restriction for Customer Due Diligence (CDD) processing and payment gateway fees.
A Virtual Business Address (VBA) is your business's actual physical address without having to invest in an office space. The majority of VBAs provide other services like forwarding your mail and renting out meeting rooms, so you do not need to rent your own.
The benefit of having an online address is that startup costs are low, you can work from anywhere, hire employees from all over the world, and it allows for easier expansion of your business.
The most suitable option for your business's physical address would be a Virtual Office since you will also have added features like having your mail forwarded to a different address and being able to use a meeting space with flexible rental periods at a reduced price. This option is particularly attractive for new businesses that want to grow but will save money on office expenses.
The registered office address has to be open to the general public for a minimum of 3 hours a day, Monday through Friday, during business hours. The office also has to be a physical location; it can't just be a Post Office Box.
In order to satisfy ACRA's requirement for a registered office, My Office's virtual offices have to have a real physical location. My Office presently has virtual office locations in two different areas: Woodlands and Tanjong Pagar.
Yes, our virtual office addresses are valid for ACRA use however, our customer and/or our Services 'add-on' will cost additional fees for each customer using our services as a mailing address. An add-on will be required with each virtual office subscription to use the address as a mailing address.
