Compliance Rescue for a Singapore-Based Logistics SME

A Singapore-based logistics startup had been operating for over two years with minimal administrative support. While the founder focused on fleet operations and client contracts, statutory compliance was unintentionally neglected — until a notice from ACRA and IRAS prompted urgent action.

That’s when they reached out to Stars Bridge for help.

🧩 The Challenge

  • Overdue ACRA and IRAS Filings

    The company had missed its Annual Return, AGM, and Form C-S filings, which resulted in warning letters and fines.

  • No Proper Records or Resolutions

    Important documents like board resolutions, shareholder updates, and registers were missing or incomplete.

  • No Time or Knowledge to Fix It

    The founder had no time to dig into compliance laws or resolve backlogs on their own.
