Issac Liu

Business Development Director, Oktos Pte Ltd

I'm a former HSBC Wealth Manager who spent a decade advising billionaire investors, global conglomerates, and entrepreneurial families across private and public markets. Multi-jurisdictional structures, investment vehicles, family office setups, personal tax across borders — none of this is new territory for me.

I now run the business development arm of Oktos, focused on one thing: helping founders and investors set up properly in Singapore from day one. Not just the paperwork — the structure, the banking, the licences, and the ongoing compliance. All of it, done right, done once.

I've spoken at the Singapore Accounting & Business Show and worked with clients across 10+ countries. If you want someone who has been inside the complexity — not just read about it — that's who you're calling.

Why Oktos

Most incorporation firms handle the paperwork. We handle everything.

The paperwork is the easy part. The hard part is knowing exactly what structure you need, which bank will actually open your account, what licences apply to your industry, and how to set this up so it doesn't cost you three times as much to fix later. That's what we do.

1

A decade working with billionaire investors and entrepreneurs worldwide.

We have spent the last ten years advising billionaire investors, global conglomerates, and entrepreneurial families across private and public markets. Multi-jurisdictional holding structures, investment vehicles, family office setups, personal tax considerations across borders — none of this is new territory for us.

If you're setting up something complex, you need someone who has navigated complexity before. At the highest level. Whether you're a single founder or managing a group of entities, we've been here before.

2

Banking is the hardest part. We've solved it.

Ask any foreigner who has tried to open a corporate bank account in Singapore. The paperwork alone doesn't get it done. The relationships do.

As a former Wealth Manager with HSBC, I have direct relationships across MAS-approved institutions in Singapore. We navigate your banking setup through those relationships — not just forms and follow-up emails. Most incorporation agents get stuck here for months. We don't.

3

One team. No gaps between advisors.

Incorporation. Banking. Business licences. Tax registration. Ongoing compliance. All under one roof.

No law firm passing you to an accountant who passes you to a corporate secretary who has never spoken to either of them. You deal with one person throughout the entire process — from the first conversation to the day you're fully operational. We see the whole picture. Most advisors only see their corner of it.

Track Record

We've Navigated This Before.

Every setup is different. Here are four that show the range of what we handle. Client details are kept confidential — described by profile only.

Post-Exit Investor

Multi-entity setup for a globally active high-net-worth investor — 2 entities, 2 bank accounts, 2 weeks.

A prominent international investor relocated to Singapore following a multi-billion dollar exit. Needed a Singapore base to manage global assets — fast, properly structured, and fully banked.

What we handled
  • Investment holding company to manage global assets from Singapore
  • Separate operating entity for regional technology advisory work
  • Full banking setup for a globally active high-net-worth individual with complex international financial relationships
  • End-to-end: incorporation, banking, compliance, and ongoing advisory
Result: 2 entities. 2 bank accounts. 2 weeks. Established local banks — not digital-only alternatives.
Family Conglomerate

Singapore operating entity for a second-generation conglomerate heir — Group control preserved throughout.

Director of a South Asian conglomerate spanning hotels, automobiles, and finance. Needed a Singapore entity and long-term work visa without disrupting cross-border operations.

What we handled
  • Singapore entity structure that accommodated multi-sector family business complexity
  • Maintained majority ownership and Group-level control in the home country
  • Regulatory, tax, and banking across multiple jurisdictions — managed end-to-end
  • Long-term work visa application
Result: Singapore entity established. Long-term work visa secured. Group control preserved. Nothing disrupted.
Medical Professional

Regulated-industry setup for a European orthodontist relocating to Singapore — tax-optimised from day one.

A European orthodontist wanted to offer services across multiple practices, not be tied to one employer, and manage personal and corporate tax carefully during a European-to-Singapore jurisdiction move.

What we handled
  • Incorporation in a regulated industry, navigating Singapore medical licensing requirements
  • Personal and corporate tax planning across a European-to-Singapore jurisdiction transition
  • Banking and compliance setup through the entire launch process
  • Ongoing advisory for a foreign professional entering a specialist Singapore market
Result: Long-term work visa secured. Entity established with a working bank account. Tax structure optimised for a high-scrutiny industry.
Regional Corporate

Singapore subsidiary for a leading regional automotive group — fast turnaround, commercial thinking at board level.

Directors of a leading regional automotive service group needed a Singapore subsidiary established quickly. Previous advisors had been slow and unable to think commercially at board level.

What we handled
  • Singapore entity setup for a large, established regional business — not a startup with time to spare
  • Strategic advice on Singapore market entry, structure, and compliance
  • Fast turnaround aligned with simultaneous board-level decisions
Result: We moved fast and thought commercially. They gave us the secretarial mandate for the entire Singapore group — operating and investment entities, not just the subsidiary we started with.

Is This Call For You?

We work with a specific type of client.

This call is designed for you if any of the following apply.

  • You've decided Singapore is where you want your entity, and you want it done right the first time.
  • You're relocating to Singapore personally or for business, and need a corporate structure that fits your full situation — not just a standard template.
  • You have an existing business outside Singapore and want to establish a presence here.
  • You're a professional — medical, legal, financial, or otherwise — navigating a regulated industry setup in Singapore.
  • You're not 100% sure Singapore is the right move yet. That's fine. We'll give you an honest answer on the call — including if it's not.

This call is not for everyone.

If you're in the early stages of researching Singapore as a concept — still comparing countries, still unsure what you're building — this isn't the right call yet.

Come back when you're ready to move. We'll be here. And when you are ready, we'll make sure you don't waste a single day.

The 45-Minute Call

In 45 minutes, you'll know exactly where you stand.

This isn't a sales pitch dressed up as a consultation. It's 45 minutes of direct, expert input on your specific situation — so you can make a decision with full information, not half a picture.

01

The right structure for you

Whether you need an operating entity, a holding company, or both — and exactly why.

02

Which banks will actually say yes

Not a generic list — which banking facilities realistically suit your situation.

03

Your licence requirements

Whether you need a business licence and how to get it without slowing down your setup.

04

Your real tax position

Not a generic answer — specific to your situation and jurisdiction.

05

A realistic timeline

From day one to fully operational, with no false promises.

06

An honest answer on Singapore

If it isn't the right move for your situation, we'll tell you that too.

No obligation. No vague "let's explore this further." Just clarity.
What Happens Next

Simple from your end. Thorough from ours.

Here's exactly what to expect after you book.

FAQ

Questions we get asked before every call.

How long does incorporation take?
The company registration itself takes 1–3 business days with ACRA. The full setup — including banking — typically takes 2–6 weeks depending on the bank and your profile. We give you a realistic timeline based on your specific situation in the first call.
Do I need to be physically present in Singapore?
Not necessarily. Incorporation can be handled remotely. Our partner banks do not require physical presence, but the bank of your choice might require it. We'll tell you exactly what applies to your situation — and if a trip is needed, we make sure it counts by scheduling everything in one visit.
How much does this cost?
Our fees depend on the scope — a straightforward incorporation is different from a multi-entity setup with banking and licencing. Most engagements start from S$2,500 for a standard incorporation. We'll give you a clear fixed-fee quote after the first call — no surprises, no hourly billing.
I'm not sure what structure I need. Is that okay?
That's exactly what the first call is for. Most clients come to us without a clear answer on structure. We ask the right questions and give you a recommendation — including what to avoid and why. You'll leave the call with clarity regardless of whether we work together.
Can you help if I need a work visa as well?
Yes. We regularly handle Employment Pass and EntrePass applications alongside incorporation. The company structure and the visa strategy are closely linked — we design both together so one doesn't create problems for the other. MOM's standard processing time is 4–6 weeks, but we typically get it done in under 2 weeks.
What if I'm already incorporated but things are a mess?
We handle clean-ups. Whether it's restructuring an existing entity, sorting out compliance arrears, or adding banking to a company that was incorporated elsewhere — book a call and we'll assess what needs to be fixed.
