Singapore offers one of the most streamlined business registration processes in the world. Through BizFile+, you can register a sole proprietorship in under 15 minutes for SGD 115, or incorporate a Private Limited Company (Pte Ltd) for SGD 315. The process is fully digital and most applications are approved within the same day.
