3 reasons why companies set up their headquarters in Singapore

It is becoming an exciting trend.

According to Barclays, one of the most exciting trends was new HQ set-ups of which CBRE has seen six or seven cases so far, with “plenty more in the pipeline”.

Here's more from Barclays:

The rationale for having an HQ in Singapore is: 1) proximity to growth markets in Asia and an entity’s home country – eg, companies from Australasia; 2) stable political and favourable tax regimes; 3) support from the Economic Development Board (EDB) of Singapore.

CBRE is also seeing a very real and strong pipeline for Metropolis, a 1mn sqft decentralised office space completing next year. Moray expects this to be 70-80% occupied by 1Q13 vs currently 0% signed up. About half he believes will be new demand, while the rest would be displaced from existing locations.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
