We recognize that the best internet resources can provide a plethora of useful information, but nothing beats speaking personally with people on the ground, who know the lay of the land and are willing to offer their expertise. Here are some resources to tap on.
The International Organisations Programme Office (IOPO)
Give us a call. Or better still stop by for a drink and a chat. We offer help in the form of an introduction to Singapore, legal and tax advice, facilitation in finding office space and event venues, financial tax and grant incentives, relocation advice for clients and their families, and help with government processes such as incorporation and charity registration, visa application, etc. The help available is for both local and foreign organisations with an international charter. Contact us.
