资讯略少啊... 代理人主要是负责什么的呢?
还没有说具体的Roles and responsibities.
公司在英国，75%由另一英国公司B控股，25%由本公司的CEO和COO控股。
公司B在新加坡也有分公司。
另外公司B的母公司在美国，为fortune 500,占多少股份不清楚。

代理人最大的风险就是。。。要被迫收取代理费。
如果你是说directory，那么你要懂公司法。company secretary，AGM，book keeping等等。逾期或是不合规director坐牢，shareholder继续度假。
我的就是agent,不是director或是secretary.

agent。。。。除非你执行agent业务的时候诈骗该公司。。。否则公司将来运营和你完全无关啊，你在公司“内”连职务都没有。
当然如果agent业务执行不专业，给公司带来麻烦或是损失，可以追究你民事责任。看agent协议怎么签，最好全部赖光。
我在该公司的本职工作跟agent一点关系都没有，所以
我本来就不想有什么additional的责任，就怕将来有什么事情找上来不好办。你讲的那个agent的协议书是跟公司签的吗？然后每个公司都可以不同？ACRA都可以接受？

但是不接受的话，又好像不给他们面子。有点两难。

还以为楼主是专业吃这口饭的。。。那你和公司有没有什么agent协议和ACRA一点关系都没有。
注册公司有一些decision making，比如公司名字，注册地址，M&A，AGM等等，都需要involve shareholder和director。我觉得楼主其实就是跑腿而已啊。。。你不可能参与这些decision making吧，哪里有啥责任呢。
要么直接ACRA，要么找个中介公司比如DP，就递递文件跑跑腿的角色吧。。。
我怎么听说公司破产的话，如果director跑路，就找agent，还有个人的liability.

额，我想到了。。。除非你说的“分公司”不是subsidiary而是“branch”，你说的agent不是中介是“local agent”。那么你要想清楚了，该公司在本地所有的penalty和liability全部会算在你头上。
严格意义上来说branch不是一个独立的法律主体，主体在外国，所以只有抓你了=)
老大，就是branch呀。我泪奔中。

如果是local agent，那不仅仅是跑路即使是违法经营也是找你麻烦。关键是这边实际上没有独立法人，不需要独立的M&A或是director。母公司director也在国外所以当然是抓你。
。。。所以不管母公司的director有没有跑路，我都会受牵连就对了。

谢谢，已发，请查收。
@南洋暴雪。短消息可以容纳的字节太少了。
我的理解是从下面的内容来的：
3. AT LEAST 2 LOCAL AGENTS
3.1 The foreign company needs to appoint 2 or more persons resident in Singapore to be its agents and accept on its behalf service of process and notices required to be served on the company. Being a local agent for a foreign company, he has to:
a) continue being an agent until ceasing to be one,
b) be answerable for the doing of all acts, matters and things as are required to be done by the foreign company under the Companies Act, and
c) be personally liable for all penalties imposed on the foreign company for any contravention of any provisions of the Companies Act unless he satisfies the court hearing the matter that he should be not so liable6.
3.2 The local agent can only cease being an agent after the expiration of a period of 21 days after lodgment of the notice with the Registrar or on the date of lodgement of the appointment of another agent.7
3.3 If default is made by any foreign company in complying with the Companies Act, the company and every officer of the company who is in default and the agent who knowingly and wilfully authorises or permits the default is liable to a fine and default penalty.8
