Naming Your Company in Singapore
Register your company with the government. Make Sure Your Company Name Is Available
First, the name of your company cannot be identical to the name of an already registered company. Your company name must be unique!
You can conduct a search to make sure your potential company name is not already registered:

Make Sure Your Name Meets Eligibility Requirements
Besides being available, your company name cannot contain any vulgar words. The government can also make other restrictions to names and may determine at the time of application that you can not use your chosen name.
The government reserves the right to make the final determination on whether or not your chosen name meets all eligibility requirements
EXPERT ADVICES
Picking a name is just the first step in beginning the registration process. There are some other factors that you need to consider.
For example, you must be eligible to register a company in Singapore, which means you must have some ties to the country, such as being a citizen or permanent resident, or holding an employment pass.
There are special programs, however, for foreigners to set up shop on the island, so contact us if you need more info!
You must also have a local address, and in many cases this address cannot be for a flat or other residential property. P.O. boxes also can’t be used. There are other restrictions and considerations, so contact us for some expert advice.
