About Singapore
Singapore's appeal as a business hub in Asia Pacific stems from its pro-business environment, competitive tax rates, and talented, multicultural workforce. While the nation leads global rankings in economic competitiveness, human development, and per capita GDP, establishing operations there requires careful planning. Companies must navigate complex regulatory requirements and substantial upfront investments, particularly when forming a local entity and building a compliant hiring process.
