Step 1. Choose a Unique Company Name
Your proposed name must be distinct and not identical or confusingly similar to any existing business entity in Singapore. Your name must:
- Uniqueness: The name must not match or closely resemble existing companies, LLPs, or business names in ACRA’s register.
- Compliance: Follow ACRA guidelines regarding prohibited words and restricted terms. Avoid words like “finance,” “bank,” “school,” “media,” or “education”, which require additional regulatory approval.
- Legal Suffix: Include the correct suffix based on your business structure, such as Pte. Ltd., Ltd., or LLP.
Tip: Perform a Singapore Company Name Check to ensure your chosen name is available and compliant.
Step 2. Check Name Availability
Once you have a proposed name:
- Enter your chosen name in the Singapore Company Name Checker or the relevant field.
- Fill in the required details in the form.

Pro Tip: Names containing regulated terms may take longer to approve, as your application will be referred to the relevant authorities.
