🇸🇬 Singapore ACRA Company Lookup — BizFile+ Direct, Dun & Bradstreet & InfoCredit Alternative

Look up Singapore-registered companies in the ACRA / BizFile+ registry by UEN, company name, or registration filters. Returns UEN, name, entity type, status, incorporation date, registered office, primary + secondary SSIC codes, paid-up capital, share types, and historical name changes. Built as a pay-per-record alternative to ACRA BizFile+ direct (SGD-priced one-shot lookups), Dun & Bradstreet, InfoCredit, Experian, and ProbeSG for Singapore KYC, due-diligence, lead-gen, and academic research.

Why ACRA Company Lookup Beats BizFile+ Direct, D&B, InfoCredit & Experian

Feature	NexGenData ACRA Lookup	BizFile+ direct	Dun & Bradstreet	InfoCredit	Experian (Singapore)
Cost	$0.01 / record, pay-per-result	SGD $5.50-$33 per report	$$$$ enterprise	SGD $$$/report	SGD $$$$ enterprise

Monthly minimum	None	None (per-lookup)	$$$$	SGD $$	$$$$

Most Singapore KYC + lead-gen + accounting teams pick this actor instead of BizFile+ direct because BizFile+ charges SGD $5.50-$33 per profile and requires SingPass / CorpPass auth — burning analyst time and racking up SGD bills on any batch use case. Cheaper than D&B / Experian for the registry-level field set and a drop-in alternative to building your own BizFile+ form-scraping bot. Live data, flat JSON, no enterprise contract.

What You Get Per Company

Each dataset item is a flat JSON record:

• uen — Unique Entity Number (9-10 char Singapore identifier)
• entity_name, former_names (array, historical name changes)
• entity_type — LLP / LP / private-limited / public-limited / sole-prop / etc.
• entity_status — live / cessed / struck-off / dormant
• incorporation_date, registration_date

• Academic research — entrepreneurship + ASEAN corporate-governance studies

How NexGenData Pricing Works

Every NexGenData actor uses pay-per-event pricing — you only pay for results that actually land in your dataset. No monthly minimum, no seat fees, no surprise overage bills.

• Actor Start: a single-event charge each time you spin the actor up (scaled to memory size)
• Result / item: charged per item written to the default dataset
• No charge for retries, internal proxy rotation, or failed sub-requests — those are absorbed by the platform
