Why is there a deposit for a Singapore resident director?

Last updated: Nov 11, 2026, 13:31 (UTC+08:00)

The resident director carries personal legal exposure for the company's compliance. A refundable deposit, quoted separately, covers fines or costs that could arise if filings or payments are missed.
