Business Profile
That the company exists, what it is called today, who its officers are, and what it was on the date you checked.
Report catalog
Five filed documents on any entity registered in Singapore. Each one answers a different question, and the sample for every one is open below with nothing held back.
Choose by need
Nobody opens a file thinking they need a Register of Shareholders. They think they need to know who owns the company. Start from the question.
Recommended
The Business Profile settles this in one document: legal name as at today, status with the date it took effect, registered office for service, registered activity, and any liquidator or judicial manager on record. A company can read as live and still have been struck off and restored.
Recommended
The Register of Directors gives full particulars per officer, including the date of appointment. That date is what answers whether a person held office when your contract was signed, which is the field that matters when signing authority is contested.
Recommended
Start with registered holders, then trace upward. A shareholder sitting at 10 percent on the face of the register can cross the 25 percent control threshold once the indirect path through a holding company is added.
Recommended
Three financial years side by side, with the audit opinion and going-concern position stated as fields rather than buried in a note. Leverage direction usually tells you more than any single year does.
Coverage
A filled circle means the report covers the field in full. A half circle means it carries a summary, and the dedicated report carries the detail.

Who is legally able to bind the company, and enough identity detail to screen each of them individually.
Legal ownership on the register. Note this is the registered holder, which is not always the beneficial owner.
Whether the counterparty can carry the obligation you are about to give it, and whether its auditor had reservations.
Who ultimately controls the counterparty, and the arithmetic behind that conclusion.
