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?
One-off services (like incorporation or a TIN) have fixed package prices with government fees billed at cost. Ongoing compliance is a simple monthly plan. Everything is on the pricing page — no hourly billing, no surprises.
