How to open a Singapore company in the beverages industry

The first steps to set up a beverage business in Singapore imply choosing a company name, drafting the incorporation documents and filing them with the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority based on which the company will obtain its certificate of registration. Our company registration agents in Singapore can assist with this process.

Following the Singapore company formation procedure, one must pay attention to the requirements of the Liquor Control Law which was last amended in 2015 and which provides for both the production and the supply of beverages in the city-state.

Licenses for beverage companies in Singapore

  • –          the production of the drinks;

Setting up a business in the beverage industry in Singapore requires obtaining special licenses for each of these procedures.

When it comes to the bottling of the beverages, special labeling requisites must be complied with, as for the retail and supply, a retail license must be obtained with the relevant authorities.

Also, the premises of the Singapore beverage company must comply with various requirements and must undergo an inspection from the Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority of Singapore.
