As an aspiring business owner looking to start a business in Singapore, a crucial step in the business formation process is in deciding the structure of the company. There are 3 common types of business structures – 1) Sole proprietorship, 2) Partnership and 3) Private limited company.

The sole proprietorship and partnership structures have many similarities, aside from the number of proprietors involved.

In this article, we explore and compare two choices on each extreme end: Sole proprietorship and Private limited company.

In summary, Private limited company incorporation comes with more compliance costs compared to a Sole proprietorship structure.

However, the Private limited company structure reaps more benefits in the form of grants and tax savings.

These savings could be significant, especially for larger businesses, since they can enjoy a greater proportion of tax savings. Even after taking into account compliance costs, the tax savings enjoyed is still greater.
