The company secretary must be an individual, not a company, and must be a Singapore citizen, permanent resident or a person who meets the local residency requirement. If there is only one director, that director cannot also act as the company secretary.
Since the role involves statutory filings and maintaining registers, it is advisable to appoint someone with relevant knowledge and experience, and many companies use a professional firm's company secretary service.
Lee Kim Alliance provides a company secretary service.
