Japanese firm specializing in sustainable infrastructure, decided to establish its Southeast Asian headquarters in Singapore to bid on upcoming green building projects.
While experts in their field, XXX Engineering had zero operational presence in Singapore. They faced a daunting list of unknowns:
Complex Bureaucracy: How to navigate ACRA for company registration, open corporate bank accounts, and understand Singapore's employment laws.
Manpower Quotas: They were unfamiliar with the Ministry of Manpower's (MOM) Dependency Ratio Ceiling (DRC) and how to even begin applying for quotas.
Talent Sourcing: They had no network to recruit the initial team of 20 skilled civil engineers and general workers required.
Compliance Risks: They were deeply concerned about inadvertently violating regulations regarding worker housing, safety, and contracts.
XXX Engineering engaged Clarity E&C for our complete "Business Establishment Support" and "Manpower Solutions" package. We acted as their single point of contact to launch their entire Singaporean operation.
Build Foundation: Our business solutions team guided them through every step: company registration, finding a temporary office space, and setting up corporate banking.
Secure Approvals: We analyzed their business plan and successfully applied for the necessary manpower quotas from MOM on their behalf.
Assemble Team: Our E&F Recruitment division activated its network in India and the Philippines to source and rigorously vet candidates with the specific green building certifications Sakura required.
Seamless Onboarding: As the team arrived, we managed everything—airport pickups, medical screenings, safety course enrollments (CSOC), and settling them into our compliant managed dormitories.
Speed to Market: XXX Engineering was fully registered, banked, and operationally ready to bid on projects within 90 days.
100% Compliance Assurance: They avoided the stress and risk of navigating regulations, with Clarity E&C ensuring full compliance from the start.
Single Point of Contact: Their management team in Japan had one dedicated consultant to call for everything, simplifying a complex international expansion.
High-Quality Workforce: The initial team was not just skilled but was also well-settled and motivated, ready to perform from their first day on the project.
Client Testimonial:
"Clarity E&C was more than a service provider; they were our foundational partner in Singapore. Their all-in-one approach allowed us to focus on our engineering expertise while they masterfully handled the entire business and manpower setup. We couldn't have launched so quickly and confidently without them."
