  "description": "Incorporate a Singapore private limited company (Pte. Ltd.) by registering a new business entity via Bizfile (ACRA's digital service portal), on behalf of the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority. This is the Singapore analogue to gb/companies-house/company-incorporation-in01, ie/cro/company-incorporation, ca/on/registration/business-incorporation, us/ca/sos/business-entity-llc-formation, au/asic/proprietary-company-registration, de/handelsregister/gmbh-formation-musterprotokoll, fr/inpi/sasu-or-eurl-formation, and nl/kvk/bv-formation, distinct from sg/acra/sole-proprietorship-registration (which covers only the one-owner sole proprietorship, not a legal entity with separate legal personality and share capital). Scoped to the simplest case: a single founder who is also the company's sole shareholder and sole director, self-filing (not filed by a corporate service provider), incorporating either an exempt private company or a private company limited by shares — mirroring the single-founder scope already used for de/handelsregister/gmbh-formation-musterprotokoll, fr/inpi/sasu-or-eurl-formation, and nl/kvk/bv-formation. A Singapore company secretary must be appointed within six months of incorporation but is not required at the point of registration itself, so this document does not model secretary appointment. Out of scope: multi-founder/multi-shareholder incorporations, corporate position holders, nominee director/shareholder arrangements, registrable-controller declarations beyond a sole founder-controller, group or trust share allotments, public companies and companies limited by guarantee, the post-incorporation company secretary appointment, auditor appointment, and engagement of a corporate service provider. It does not submit anything or imply government endorsement.",

Ltd. Authored from ACRA's own current how-to guide pages on acra.gov.sg (the 'Registering a local company' series, Steps 4.1–4.6, each independently retrieved and re-extracted as raw HTML-to-text — not just a WebFetch summary — to cross-check every quoted fact), since Bizfile itself is a Singpass-authenticated eService with no downloadable fillable form; the legacy 'bizfile-guide---incorporate-local-company.pdf' document-library link now 301-redirects to the same how-to guide page, confirming ACRA has migrated this guidance off a static PDF entirely (a stronger, first-party HTML source, not the automated-fetch-and-summary PDF-paraphrase technique sg/acra/sole-proprietorship-registration relied on). Status remains 'draft': the live, Singpass-authenticated Bizfile registration screens themselves were not independently reachable pre-authentication, so this schema's screen-by-screen field list reflects ACRA's own guide prose, not a confirmed field-by-field UI walkthrough. A mock conformance/sg/acra/private-limited-company-incorporation/1.0.0/application-packet.json test run (single-founder exempt private company, wholesale trade SSIC, SGD 1,000 issued/paid-up ordinary shares, model constitution) was checked with a from-scratch script re-implementing the schema's own required/requiredWhen condition grammar and passed with 0 violations across 47 fields (39 collected, 8 correctly not-applicable); mutation tests confirmed the founderResidencyStatus eligibility gate and all three nominee/controller exit transitions fire correctly.
