Answer & Explanation:

As per Singapore Companies Act, 1967 any person may, whether alone or together with another person, by subscribing his name or their names to a constitution and complying with the requirements as to registration, form an incorporated company. A company may be - a company limited by shares; a company limited by guarantee; or an unlimited company.
