Once you have all the necessary information, you may log in to the Bizfile portal to submit your application.
How to register
Log in to Bizfile to register a sole proprietorship or partnership via the "Register new business entity" eService.
All proposed business owners, including partners or authorised representatives, must endorse their consent on Bizfile before the business can be registered.
If you require guided assistance to start a sole proprietorship or partnership, you may log in to
GoBusiness to access the e-Adviser for Starting a Business.
Alternatively, you may engage the services of a registered filing agent (e.g. law firm, accounting firm, or corporate secretarial firm) to submit the online application on your behalf.

Processing time
If an application needs to be referred to another government agency for approval, the registration may take between 14 days and 60 days. For example, the setting up of private schools must be approved by the Ministry of Education (MOE) before the business can be registered.
You can find the list of Referral Authorities here.
For partnerships, the business is officially registered only after all the partners or authorised representatives have endorsed (or consented to) the application.
