Business Profile

Last Updated 28 Jul 2025

A Business Profile is an electronic document issued by the corporate regulator, ACRA that contains the key, up-to-date information about a registered business entity.


Why is a Business Profile Important?

It serves as official proof of a company's existence and registration. Banks, potential partners, and government agencies often require a recent copy of your Business Profile to verify your company's details. It provides a snapshot of the company's UEN, registered address, business activities, and current director and shareholder information.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I obtain my company's Business Profile?

You can purchase and download a copy of your company's Business Profile at any time from the regulator's online portal (ACRA's BizFile+ in Singapore).

How often is the Business Profile updated?

The Business Profile is a live document. It is updated in real-time whenever the company files any changes to its particulars with the regulator.

What's the difference between a Business Profile and a Company Constitution?

A Business Profile is a summary of the company's current registered details. A Company Constitution is the detailed legal rulebook that governs the company's internal affairs.
