Processing time
For sole proprietorships and partnerships, registrations are usually approved within 15 minutes after the registration fee is paid.
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.
