Trade License
Trade licenses are required to operate a business in Singapore, Hong Kong, and Malaysia. The specific requirements for obtaining a trade license will vary depending on the country, the type of business, and the location of the business. Here's a general overview:
Singapore
In Singapore, business licenses are issued by the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA). The type of business license you need will depend on your business activities. For most businesses, a general business registration will suffice. However, some businesses may also require additional licenses from other government agencies. You can find more information on the ACRA website: https://www.acra.gov.sg/
Hong Kong
In Hong Kong, there is no single trade license. Instead, businesses may need to obtain a variety of licenses and registrations from different government departments, depending on their industry and activities. The Business Registration Unit (BRU) can provide guidance on the specific licenses and registrations that your business will need: https://www.gov.hk/en/business/registration/
Malaysia
In Malaysia, the process of obtaining a business license is typically handled by the Companies Commission of Malaysia (CCM). However, some businesses may also need to obtain additional licenses from other government agencies, depending on their industry and activities.
