Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Single Family Office (SFO) vs. a Multi-Family Office (MFO)?
A Single-Family Office (SFO) is a dedicated legal entity that manages the financial, tax, operational, and personal affairs of one family. A Multi-Family Office (MFO) pools resources and administrative services across multiple non-related families to achieve economies of scale.
What is a Virtual Family Office (VFO)?
A Virtual Family Office (VFO) outsources core management, accounting, and legal operations to specialized third-party firms like Bestar rather than building a full-time, in-house operational team.
How do I apply for Permanent Residency in Singapore via a Family Office?
Under Option C of Singapore's Global Investor Programme (GIP), eligible applicants can qualify for Permanent Residency by establishing a Singapore-based Single Family Office managing a minimum threshold of assets.
