Why StartOne

Four government offices. One dashboard.

The Registrar of Companies, Inland Revenue, the Labour Department, your company secretary — each with its own forms, fees and deadlines. StartOne puts one calm layer over all of it.

We do the paperwork

Answer plain-language questions once. Our team prepares and lodges every form with the right authority.

You see every step

Each service runs on a live timeline — from 'received' to 'filed with the Registrar' to 'certificate issued'.

Deadlines find you

Annual returns, EPF, VAT — your compliance calendar is built automatically and warns you at 30, 7 and 1 day out.

Documents stay safe

Certificates, filed forms and receipts live in your encrypted vault — not in an email thread from 2023.

Questions

Fair questions, straight answers

Is StartOne a government service?

No. StartOne is a private service that prepares and manages your registrations and filings with the relevant authorities — the Registrar of Companies, the Inland Revenue Department and the Department of Labour — and keeps everything tracked in one dashboard for you.

How do I know what my business actually needs?

Answer a few plain-language questions when you sign up and we'll show you a free compliance snapshot: what you already have, what's missing, and what deadlines are coming. No commitment — the snapshot is yours either way.

Who does the actual work?

Real people. Our team of company secretaries and accounting professionals prepares and lodges your filings; the platform keeps you informed at every step, stores every document, and reminds you before every deadline.

What does it cost?

Every service has one clear fee: registrations are one-off, ongoing services like payroll are billed monthly or yearly, and government fees are always billed at cost. Everything is on the pricing page — no hourly billing, no surprises.
