A Singapore holding company for Thai startups gives founders access to fundraising instruments Thai company law makes harder to use, like a SAFE (Simple Agreement for Future Equity), a convertible note, or an ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan).

This article answers both.

SINGAPORE, 8 September 2026: Global founders need global financial access, and Aspire and Osome are enabling them to reach new heights. During ‘Founders Night: Breaking Orbit’, Aspire's flagship founder event in Singapore on September 3, Aspire announced the launch of the ‘Aspire Account-Opening Integration’ with Osome to make that process easier and faster.

With this integration, founders can open an Aspire business account directly from the Osome app without re-entering company or founder information. This saves the hassle of separately linking an Aspire account to Osome, as it now happens automatically, with approval status tracked right from the app.

Regardless of the form of your donation, you are eligible for a tax deduction. However, documentation is crucial in tracking your charitable donations.

10 Tips To Prepare For Fundraising From a Venture Capitalist

A Guide to Choosing Your Ecommerce Store Name

For many Indonesian founders, the first question around Singapore incorporation is usually straightforward: how much does it actually cost? In practice, the answer depends on more than incorporation fees alone. Founders with ongoing Indonesian operations often need to budget for a PT PMA subsidiary as well, and the two structures come with different capital requirements, timelines, and recurring compliance costs.

For Indonesian founders operating through a Singapore holding company, the Indonesia-Singapore Double Tax Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) is usually one of the more consequential pieces of the structure, and one of the least understood. The treaty was substantially updated in 2022, changing how capital gains, dividends, interest, and royalties are taxed between the two jurisdictions. Understanding what the treaty actually changed, and the conditions that must be met to access it, is essential before making structural decisions with long-term tax implications.

Australia's capital gains tax (CGT) reform has sparked a genuine rethink among founders about where to build. Singapore, Hong Kong, the United Kingdom (UK), and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) are all getting a fresh look. But incorporating offshore doesn't automatically solve the tax problem, and the right jurisdiction depends entirely on the kind of business being built. Here's what's driving the interest, and how to think about the decision.

Australia has confirmed two major tax changes that affect founders and investors. The capital gains tax (CGT) discount is being replaced from 1 July 2027, and the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) has tightened how it decides whether an offshore company is genuinely non-resident. Together, they raise the cost and complexity of building or investing in a start-up from Australia. Here is what changed, what a possible carve-out means for you, and what founders can do about it.

Our articles help you with navigating the intricacies of running a company in Singapore.            From checklists to roadmaps and clear explanations of bureaucratic rules, we provide you            with all the essential information you need.
