Singapore corporate secretarial services, with lasting clarity.

Corporate secretarial work is the discipline behind a company’s formal life. We connect officer and shareholder changes, board decisions, registers and ACRA-facing requirements into a clear responsibility and reporting calendar.

01

Scope and readiness

An accepted offer needs a clear route to employment. Confirm the local employing entity, agreed terms and required records, then give the employee and hiring manager a practical joining plan.

  • Role, location and employment-term review
  • Offer and employment-agreement coordination
  • Identity, bank and joining-document checks
  • Confidentiality and intellectual-property terms
  • Joining plan, policies and employee records
02

Preparation and records

Bring approved salary inputs, deductions and employer costs into a consistent monthly cycle. Confirm statutory coverage and relevant state requirements, with payroll reports and payment records that your finance team can follow.

  • INR salary processing, payslips and payroll reports
  • Salary tax withholding and relevant payroll filings
  • EPF, ESI and state levies, where applicable
03

Delivery and reporting

Give employees a defined route for questions about pay, leave and employment records. Coordinate agreed benefits and approved changes, keeping your managers informed when a decision or additional information is needed.

  • Leave, attendance and policy administration
  • Benefit enrolment and employee query handling
  • Approved pay changes and employment letters
04

Changes and annual review

Plan for the decisions that follow the first hire: additional employees, changes to terms and eventual exits. If your business later establishes an Indian entity, agree a transition plan that addresses employment continuity and the records required.

Review the company record

Set out the roles, work locations, headcount, proposed start dates and work eligibility. Review how the team will operate in India before confirming that EOR is suitable.

Confirm annual secretarial obligations

Confirm the employing entity, salary structure, benefits, notice provisions and responsibilities. Separate employment costs from service fees, with funding and approval terms in writing.

Document corporate decisions

Collect the required records, complete employment documents and arrange payroll and benefit setup. Confirm the joining date once the necessary checks and approvals are complete.

Maintain registers and filings

Agree input cut-offs, approve salary changes and arrange funding. Process the pay cycle, provide the agreed reports and track applicable statutory payments and filings.

Report status and upcoming actions

Coordinate changes to pay, role or location before they take effect. For an exit, review the required process, notice, final pay and employment records with the local employer.

Contractor programmes for each stage

Choose the support your company needs.

A first hire, a growing team and a future subsidiary call for different plans. Match the employment arrangement, reporting and commercial terms to the people you need and how your India presence is expected to develop.

01 / First India hire

Start with your first hire

Put a defined employment arrangement around an initial India role, with the employer, monthly cost and onboarding requirements clear before the employee joins.

01

Employer and scope

Name the employing entity, included services and escalation contacts in the agreement, with the responsibilities of Navcore and your business clearly recorded.

02

Payroll approvals

Set input deadlines, authorised approvers and funding dates. Review salary movements, employer costs and outstanding items before the pay run is finalised.

03

Employee records

Agree access, confidentiality and retention arrangements for contracts, payroll and employee data, including any cross-border sharing required for delivery.

04

Changes and close-out

Route changes and exits through the agreed process. Confirm the required approvals, employee communications, notice and final-settlement treatment before action.

Responsibilities stay clear

The service agreement records employment responsibilities, client approvals, funding obligations and escalation routes. An EOR arrangement does not by itself resolve corporate tax, permanent-establishment, licensing or immigration questions for your business; these depend on the activities and circumstances involved.

A clear record of every cycle

Keep approved payroll inputs, salary outputs, funding confirmations and applicable statutory payment records connected. The agreed reporting should show what is complete, what remains outstanding and who owns the next action, so your finance team can reconcile the cost of its India workforce.

Contractor payment readiness

Every deadline needs a complete plan.

Work back from the planned payment date. Allow time to confirm the deliverable, validate the invoice, review the applicable tax treatment and obtain the right approval.
