Singapore
Why Singapore?
Low taxation, a highly efficient government, political stability, skilled workforce and a stable legal structure, have consistently placed Singapore in the world’s top rankings of ease of doing business.
Extensive trade networks (over 75 double taxation agreements), supporting government policies and the realistic ambition to be a smart nation through digital innovation make Singapore one of the top destinations to set up a company and the gateway for business looking to expand into South East Asia.
