Registering a New LP

Applications to register a new LP must be submitted online via BizFile, ACRA's electronic filing and information retrieval system. You may do one of the following to register a new LP:

(a) Login to BizFile to submit an online transaction. You can do this from your home, office or using one of ACRA’s BizFile Kiosks at our premises.

(b) Engage the services of a professional firm (e.g. lawyers, accountants, chartered secretaries) or a service bureau (e.g. DP Bureau) to submit an online application on your behalf.

Please note that your application may be referred to another authority for comments prior to approval. For example, if you intend to set up a private school, your application will be referred to the Ministry of Education.

If your application has been referred to another authority, it may take between 14 days and 2 months to process the application.

The LP may commence business once it has incorporated with ACRA. This is on condition that the LP does not require any licence/approvals from other government agencies in order to carry out the business activities.
