All your ACRA filings, on a flat annual fee.
Asprin runs Singapore corporate secretarial services for over 400 active Pte Ltds. Annual Return, AGM resolutions, directors’ resolutions, share allotments and transfers, statutory registers, BO register maintenance — all bundled at a single flat annual fee. No hourly add-ons for anything in scope.
A qualified Secretary is formally appointed at ACRA. A named day-to-day specialist handles drafting, queries and filings — usually within one business day of a request, two for complex resolutions.
What changed for corp sec filings in 2026.
Current as of May 2026. We notify retainer clients in advance of filing deadlines, and keep them updated on important regulatory changes.
Three ACRA changes worth a calendar entry under the Corporate & Accounting Laws (Amendment) Act 2025.
- Director penalty regime tightened. Maximum fines for director breaches rise from S$5,000 to S$20,000, with up to 12 months’ imprisonment for serious breaches. Director disqualification has also been expanded — convictions for money-laundering offences are now disqualifying. Source: ACRA →
- Audit reports must name the responsible auditor. Audit reports must identify the specific public accountant primarily responsible for the audit engagement by name — relevant once your Pte Ltd crosses the audit-exemption threshold.
- Selective share buybacks now need affected-class approval. A selective buyback requires a separate 75% approval from the affected shareholder class on top of the existing 75% all-shareholders threshold — material for cap-table cleanups and pre-exit restructuring.
