Bizfile+ is designed to perform operations from simple to complex with the aim of security, flexibility, while saving resources in retrieving information and submitting annual records to ACRA (instead of submitting hard copies - paper) and also contributing to making these processes simpler and faster.

As mentioned above, in addition to being a communication channel between businesses and ACRA throughout the operation of Singapore companies, Bizfile+ is considered a database storage system for all businesses in Singapore.

In fact, after a Singapore company is established, company-related documents such as company licenses are stored on the Bizfile+ system and businesses only receive electronic licenses instead of hard copies.

All corporate documents will only be electronically extracted directly from ACRA and the electronic version is a valid legal document for business activities as well as opening bank accounts in Singapore.

In case a business wishes to receive an electronic copy (soft copy) of its Singapore company license or any company-related information, it may register to purchase the company information stored on Bizfile+. ACRA requires the purchaser to own a SingPass to be able to access Bizfile+ and there will be corresponding costs involved.

Note: To access ACRA's Bizfile+ trading portal, one must possess a SingPass, so only SingPass holders are allowed to access Bizfile+.

To check whether a business has a Singpass or not, the business can check via the following link: https://www.singpass.gov.sg/home/ui/login.
