INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS SERVICES FROM SINGAPORE – OCRA (SINGAPORE) PTE LTD

OCRA Singapore provides a complete range of professional corporate services for the incorporation and management of Singapore, offshore and international companies.

Since 1985, we have been providing services to clients based in the Asia Region. Our client base is diverse and includes professional firms, expatriates, business, entrepreneurs and high net worth families and individuals. We regularly travel to meet our clients.

Over Fhe last few years, OCRA Singapore, like all our offices in Asia, has evolved from serving Asia to serving the world from Asia. This focus on serving the world from Asia derives not only from international initiatives that have constrained the activities of the traditional European and Caribbean offshore centres but also from increasing international awareness of the capacity and robustness of Singapore as an international financial centre.

Today, our office serves over 1,000 clients, all of whom benefit from Singapore's developed financial infrastructure, reputation, client confidentiality laws and its investor and non-resident friendly tax regime.

We invite you to contact one of our consultants to discuss your unique requirements.
