Yes, a Korean company can be a shareholder of a Singapore company, and the most common form is a subsidiary 100% owned by the Korean head office. However, a corporate entity cannot be a director, so directors are appointed as individuals.
A corporate shareholder submits an English business registration certificate, a notarised corporate shareholder representative appointment letter, a shareholder register and similar documents, and may additionally be asked for documents identifying the individuals who ultimately control the company (beneficial owners).
Investing in an overseas company from Korea may require a report under Korean foreign exchange regulations, so please check with your bank in advance.
Please refer to Lee Kim Alliance's company incorporation service and company setup checklist.
