Why Singapore businesses hire through Catalyst
Lower cost than a local hire
A full-time Singapore admin hire runs about S$48,000 a year before CPF and overheads. A Catalyst assistant covers the same work from around S$1,900 a month.
The same working hours
The Philippines is on GMT+8, the same as Singapore, so emails, bookings, and customer messages are answered during your day, in real time, not the next morning.
We carry the employment
Recruitment, payroll, statutory benefits, equipment, and leave cover sit with us. You manage the work, not the paperwork or a work pass.
Singapore and the Philippines share GMT+8, so your assistant is online for your whole working day with full real-time overlap, not a partial window.
No CPF, work pass sponsorship, office space, or equipment to provide. Catalyst employs the assistant in the Philippines, so the on-costs of a Singapore hire are not yours.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a virtual assistant cost in Singapore?
A local part-time admin hire runs roughly S$25 to S$45 an hour once CPF and overheads are added. A Catalyst assistant starts from around S$1,900 a month on a full-time plan, with no employer on-costs on your side because we employ them in the Philippines.
Do your virtual assistants work Singapore hours?
Yes, with no compromise. The Philippines is in the same GMT+8 time zone as Singapore, so your assistant works your exact hours with full real-time overlap.
Will I have to pay CPF or sponsor a work pass?
No. Catalyst employs the assistant in the Philippines, so there is no CPF, no Ministry of Manpower work pass, and no local payroll for you to run.
How quickly can I start?
Most Singapore clients are matched with an assistant and onboarded within two weeks.
What can a Singapore business delegate to a virtual assistant?
Email and calendar management, bookkeeping in Xero or QuickBooks, customer support, social media, paid ads, lead generation, and data entry. If it is a repeatable task done at a desk, an assistant can take it on.
