Nominee Director Services in Singapore: 7 Providers Ranked on 6 Checks (2026)

Written by the VIVOS team (ACRA Registered Filing Agent FA20240323, MOM Employment Agency Licence 24S2425) and reviewed by Ray Tay, Co-founder. VIVOS publishes this guide and lists itself first. Other providers are ordered by the number of checks they meet, then A–Z, using their own websites and official sources checked on 21 October 2026. No provider paid to be included, and prices and service quality were not compared. This is a shortlist of independent providers, not a full market review.

Key facts (October 2026)

How we ranked these providers

We set six pass/fail checks that matter when a foreign founder needs a locally resident director, and applied them to every provider, VIVOS included. A check is met only when the provider’s own website, or an official register, shows it. Otherwise we record ‘not stated on its website’, which is not the same as ‘not offered’.

VIVOS is listed first because it publishes this guide; it is also the only provider here that meets all six checks. Other providers are ordered by checks met, then A–Z. We did not compare prices or service quality, and no provider paid to appear.

This guide covers smaller independent providers. The large online platforms are compared in our Singapore company incorporation services comparison.

The ranking at a glance

Checked on 21 October 2026. ‘Yes’ means the provider’s own website (or an official register) shows it; ‘Not stated’ means we could not find it there.

The providers, in detail

1. VIVOS: meets 6 of 6 checks

VIVOS Pte. Ltd. (UEN 202416468C) is a Singapore corporate services and immigration firm at 14B Stanley Street, incorporated in 2024. It is an ACRA Registered Filing Agent (FA20240323), holds MOM Employment Agency Licence 24S2425, and has its own companies in Malaysia, Hong Kong and the UAE.

Its nominee resident director service sits alongside incorporation, a registered address, the company secretary, accounting and tax, and corporate bank account opening support. The nominee holds no shares and runs nothing: day-to-day control stays with the founder. Each engagement includes identity verification, written indemnity terms and CSP Act registration checks before anything is filed on Bizfile.

Because VIVOS is also a licensed employment agency, the same team can file the founder’s Employment Pass and then appoint the founder as the resident director in place of the nominee once the pass is approved. How nominee arrangements work, and what they usually cost, is set out in our resident director guide.

Suits: foreign founders who want the nominee, company secretary, accounting and their own work pass handled by one licensed team, with group companies in Malaysia, Hong Kong and the UAE if they expand. Talk to VIVOS.

How to choose a nominee director service: 6 questions to ask

1. Is the provider registered with ACRA, and what is its filing agent number? Check it on Bizfile before you sign.
2. Who is the nominee, and how did the provider confirm they are fit and proper and not disqualified from acting as a director?
3. What will the nominee not do? Look for written limits on management, bank signing rights and shareholdings.
4. What do you sign in return: an indemnity, a security deposit, a resignation letter held on file?
5. Who files the nominee details with ACRA’s central register, and who keeps the company’s own register?
6. How do you exit? Ask how the nominee resigns, and how quickly a founder with an Employment Pass can take over as the resident director.

When VIVOS may not be the right fit

• You only need a nominee director and will keep the company secretary, accounting and work passes elsewhere. A nominee-only arrangement may suit you better.
• You want a provider with a long track record. VIVOS was incorporated in 2024, while several firms on this list have operated for a decade or more.

Frequently asked questions

How do I choose a reliable nominee director service in Singapore?

Start with registration. Since 9 June 2025, only an ACRA-registered corporate service provider can arrange a nominee director by way of business, so check the firm’s filing agent number on Bizfile. Then ask what the nominee will not do, what indemnity and deposit you sign, who files the nominee details with ACRA, and how the nominee resigns when you no longer need one.

Does a nominee director provider have to be registered with ACRA?

Yes, if the nominee acts by way of business. Under the Corporate Service Providers Act 2024, in force since 9 June 2025, the appointment must be arranged by a registered CSP, which must be satisfied that the nominee is fit and proper. Carrying on a corporate services business without registration is an offence.

Can one firm handle incorporation, the nominee director and accounting together?

Yes. Every provider in this guide lists incorporation and accounting and tax alongside its nominee director service. VIVOS can also file the founder’s Employment Pass under its own MOM Employment Agency licence.

How do I replace the nominee director once I get an Employment Pass?

An Employment Pass holder can be a director of the company that holds their pass, which can meet the resident director rule. File the new appointment and the nominee’s resignation as close together as possible, so the company is never without a resident director. To be a director of a different company, an EP holder needs MOM’s Letter of Consent.

Can I switch nominee director providers?

Usually, yes. The new provider arranges a replacement nominee, the company files the change of directors and updates its nominee register, and the outgoing nominee resigns. Check the notice period and any deposit terms in your current agreement first.

How much does a nominee director cost in Singapore?

This guide does not compare prices. Fees depend on the provider and on what is bundled, such as a deposit, company secretary or accounting. Our resident director guide explains how nominee fees are usually structured.

Why is VIVOS ranked first?

VIVOS publishes this guide and lists itself first. It is also the only provider here that meets all six checks, including holding its own MOM Employment Agency licence. Other providers are ordered by the number of checks they meet, then A–Z.
