About Raffles Consulting Services

Who we are

About Raffles Consulting Services: we are a Singapore advisory practice working with businesses, investors, fund sponsors, families and individuals who need clear, evidence-led guidance on decisions that touch Singapore. We operate from Manhattan House at 151 Chin Swee Road and are part of the Raffles group of Singapore professional services firms, which includes Raffles Corporate Services Pte Ltd for incorporation, corporate secretarial and licence work.

Our advisory work covers six connected areas: enterprise support and grants, Singapore market entry and domiciliation, funds and VCC structures, family office and UHNW advisory, corporate and international tax consulting, and Singapore immigration and relocation. Most client questions cross at least two of these areas, and organising those connections early is the core of what we do.

How we work

We start with the decision, the facts already available and the deadline. We then identify the relevant Singapore rules, the official requirements, the evidence that will be needed and the specialists who must be involved. We use current primary sources for every threshold, date and eligibility condition, and we separate advisory work from regulated or legal work.

Where a matter requires a formal legal opinion, transaction documents, dispute representation, a licensed fund manager, a trustee or another regulated service, we coordinate with Singapore law firms and licensed professionals with the relevant speciality. We do not promise a grant, licence, tax outcome, regulatory approval, permanent residence or citizenship result. No adviser can, and any firm that does should be treated with caution.

The Raffles Consulting Services Editorial Team

The guides and articles on this site are researched and written by the Raffles Consulting Services Editorial Team, a group of advisers and researchers within the firm who work on client matters across the six practice areas. Articles are published under the team name rather than individual bylines because each piece is checked by more than one person before it goes live.

Our editorial standards are simple. Every material claim about a threshold, deadline, eligibility rule, tax treatment or regulatory duty is verified against a current primary source such as Enterprise Singapore, ACRA, MAS, IRAS, EDB, ICA, MOM, Singapore Customs or the Singapore Statutes Online. Competitor and commentary pages are used only to understand what readers are asking, never as a source of fact. Where a rule is changing, we state the effective date. Where a source cannot support a claim, the claim is removed.

Articles are reviewed when the underlying rules change and the modified date on each article reflects the last substantive review. If you find an error, write to us at the address below and we will correct it and note the correction on the page.
