Note:
Dear clients, we have started to use communities to disseminate messages. This will allow us to get announcements out to clients more efficiently. We need to harness the use of WhatsApp communities as our client list has grown to a size where we are unable to keep up with sending announcements to individual chats.
The WhatsApp community which we have set up will keep your number private. Only the admins, who are the team from Raffles Corporate Services, will be able to see your contact number. Other members of the community will not be able to see your contact number and similarly, you will not be able to see other members’ contact numbers.
Examples of the types of announcements which will be sent out in the community are as such:
1) Filing deadlines and reminders. For example, corporate tax filing deadlines.
2) Any important announcements which may be of useful knowledge to Singapore-registered companies. For example, new requirements to be fulfilled like the recent requirements to register company controllers and nominee shareholders.
3) Upcoming webinars.
4) Useful articles for Singapore companies.
If you see any announcement which you would like to know more about, you can contact any of the Community Admins through private messaging. The Community Admins list is located in Community Info. You can also contact the Raffles Corporate Services team via any group chat which you are in.
We will be shifting clients to the Raffles Corporate Services Community. If we have a WhatsApp group chat with you, we will still maintain that so that if you have any queries, you can message the team directly.
