Judging from the collation results，The most popular option is Private Company：Maximum 50 shareholders，Shareholders can be natural persons and companies。77%of companies are private companies。

23%The company is a public company and is ：Public Company Limited By Guarantee, CLG）。2.What is the difference between these two company types?

2. At least 1 local director，1A legal secretary (cannot be the same person)；
3. limited liability；

1. separate legal entity；
2. limited liability：Joint and several liability is the maximum limit for each member's guarantee (it is also possible to lose up to SGD 1)；
3. no shares，There is no share capital (Share Capital)；

The company requires at least 2 company officers。At least one director must be a Singaporean or permanent resident。Generally, firms can provide nominee director services。Briefly disclose the Singapore registration status of several overseas companies，Learn from the forerunners。Most of the pioneers will only land in Singapore in 2026.。3.Do you need to set up a foundation? From the statistical data，77%The blockchain project is registered as a private limited company。

There is no legal entity in Singapore called a “foundation”，The closest is probably "Company Limited by Guarantee" (CLG is a public company，Annual inspection and audit are required every year)。4.Do I need to set up a private limited company (with a foundation in the name) or a public company (a non-profit foundation)?
