Secretarial Services
A company secretary is an officer whose responsibilities are providing administrative and reporting functions mandated by law. He or she has to assist the company directors to ensure that the company meets the regulatory obligations such as Annual general meeting submission, and more. That's why if the company has only one director, he or she cannot act as a company secretary but more than one director, one of the directors can also act as a company secretary.
All companies incorporated in Singapore must fulfill a key requirement of appointing a company secretary who must be a resident of Singapore.
Nominee Resident Director
A director is a nominee if the director is accustomed or under an obligation whether formal or informal to act in accordance with the directions, instructions or wishes of any other person. The obligation to act in accordance with the directions, instructions or wishes of any other person may arise from legal obligations (e.g. contract; trust) or informal arrangements. For example, a director is a nominee of a person with a shareholding in a company if he is appointed by that person to the board of directors of the company and he acts in accordance with the directions, instructions or wishes of that person.
