Start a Business for Selling Textiles in Singapore

Start a Business for Selling Textiles in Singapore

The fashion industry is one of the most powerful economic sectors in countries all over the world. This is also available in Singapore, where due to the high purchase power of the population, clothing and jewelry stores register good and stable incomes.

Both foreign and local enterprisers are welcome to open shops where they can sell various fashion items, as the Singapore legislation is very permissive, and the company registration process is rather simple.

Our Singapore company formation agents can help investors who want to set up a business for selling textiles in the city-state.

Preliminary steps for opening a business for selling textiles in Singapore

Foreign investors who want to open a company in Singapore and sell clothes are not subject to any special requirements, however, if they want to ensure the success of their business, our local consultants recommend them to:

  1. prepare a solid business plan which will help them target reachable goals;
  2. choose the location for the textile business carefully in order to for clients to find them easy;
  3. choose the right type of legal entity for their future company;
  4. prepare a marketing strategy in order to promote their business.

Investors must also know they can sell clothes from a physical location, however, an online shop is also a good idea when setting up a Singapore business for selling textiles.
