1. Must an Indian shareholder visit Singapore to vote?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Not necessarily. Depending on the decision and the applicable procedure, the shareholder may participate in a virtual meeting or approve a written resolution. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

2. Can a sole owner sign one resolution for every decision?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

A sole owner may also be a director, but board and shareholder decisions must be recorded in the appropriate capacity. The approval required depends on the decision. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

3. Does every company resolution have to be filed with ACRA?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

No. Filing depends on the transaction. Even when no notice of resolution is required, the company should maintain an accurate record of its decision. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

<\/span> 3<\/span> minutes<\/span><\/span>Owning a Singapore company does not mean travelling to Singapore for every corporate decision. Indian shareholders and directors can often take part in meetings remotely or approve decisions through a written procedure. The important step is to identify who has authority to decide, follow the Companies Act 1967 and the company\u2019s constitution, and complete any required filing. <\/p>\n

For an Indian entrepreneur who is both a director and shareholder, those roles must be kept distinct. A decision made as a director cannot automatically replace one that requires shareholders\u2019 approval. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":99540,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[246,249,258],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-99518","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog","category-corporate-secretary","category-singapore"],"yoast_head":"\n
