How Do I Reserve A Company Name With Osome’s Help?

Osome will checks the name availability with ACRA and files the name reservation via BizFile+ on your behalf.

Key points:

• Ensure the name doesn’t conflict with existing businesses.
• Avoid selecting names that are undesirable (i.e. vulgar, obscene or offensive) or bear similarity to government bodies or are protected by law.
• Some name applications may be referred to Referral Authorities for approval (e.g. if your proposed business name has the word “school”, it may be referred to the Ministry of Education).
• Name reservation lasts 120 days, giving you time to complete incorporation.
• The processing time for referred applications may take between 14 to 60 days and subject to ACRA's approval.
• As part of the name application, you must specify the primary and secondary activities of your business by choosing the most relevant Singapore Standard Industrial Classification (SSIC) code corresponding to your intended business activity.
