Singapore Entity Closure, Zero Disruption

A Singapore-based tech firm with 12 local employees faced the challenge of executing a strategic restructure that required winding up their Singapore entity. The company needed to close their legal structure as part of their strategic reorganization, but they couldn't afford to lose their skilled local team who possessed critical technical knowledge, client relationships, and operational expertise. The challenge was ensuring full compliance with Singapore's Employment Act and regulatory requirements while maintaining business continuity and zero talent loss during the entity closure process.

AYP Group provided a comprehensive Employer of Record (EOR) solution that enabled the tech firm to execute their strategic restructure while retaining their entire Singapore team. The solution included:
