Overview
Singapore has a transparent and regulated business licensing framework. Many industries require specific licences or permits from relevant government agencies before operations can commence. B&H Management Consultancy provides full advisory and application services across all major licensing categories — ensuring your business is compliant from day one.
Get StartedFinancial services in Singapore are regulated by MAS. Companies can apply for fund management licences (RFMC, LFMC, Retail), payment services licences, and capital markets services licences. We advise on the appropriate licence category and manage the full application process.
Companies that import or export products into/from Singapore must register with Singapore Customs. For regulated products — such as processed food, pharmaceuticals, tobacco, alcohol, and oil — additional licences from relevant authorities are required. We manage the full registration and licence application process.
Restaurants and bars require a liquor retail licence from the Police Licensing & Regulatory Department (PLRD). Wholesale liquor distribution requires a separate wholesale licence. We handle both retail and wholesale liquor licence applications.
Food establishments require an Environmental Health Licence from the Singapore Food Agency (SFA) or the National Environment Agency (NEA). Food processing plants require additional food processing and storage licences. We manage the full F&B licensing process.
Companies involved in maritime activities — including ship management, marine survey, and port operations — require licences from the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA). We provide full advisory and application support for MPA-regulated businesses.
We provide document notarisation, certification by the Bar Association, Ministry of Foreign Affairs authentication, Embassy authentication, and apostille services for use in Singapore and overseas jurisdictions.
