What organisations use us for
Assignee orientation
Cultural and practical briefings for arriving executives and their families — neighbourhoods, schools, healthcare, the lease traps, the first-month sequence. Delivered live or written, per assignee or per cohort.
Volume content licensing
Licence our Pre-Arrival Pack for unlimited issuance to your assignees, clients or incoming families — your covering letter, our content. Used by relocation firms, serviced residences, international schools and professional-services firms as a welcome gift.
Executive trip support
For EAs: a written, dated itinerary built around an executive's actual schedule, plus a WhatsApp line during the trip. No commissions means hotel and restaurant recommendations reflect fit, not kickbacks.
Duty-of-care support
An independent local point of contact for travelling staff — orientation materials, an honest emergency playbook, and coordination help when a plan meets reality. Complements, never replaces, your insurer's assistance line.
Family & eldercare coordination
For assignees whose parents remain in Singapore, or Singaporean staff posted abroad: bilingual coordination, medical accompaniment and written family reporting. A retention benefit almost no mobility programme offers.
School guidance for intakes
Per-family shortlists with honest waitlist reality at the exact grades, application ordering and neighbourhood implications — the question that delays more relocations than any other.
Why an independent advisory, alongside what you already have
| Your existing partner | What we add |
|---|---|
| Relocation management company | Neutral judgement on the decisions their supply chain can't rate impartially — neighbourhood fit, lease terms, school realities. We take no referral fees from any provider. |
| Property agents | A tenant-side read on the lease before signature, and a view on the district the listing won't mention. |
| Immigration counsel | Everything after the pass is approved: the human landing that determines whether the assignment sticks. |
| Travel management company | Destination judgement rather than inventory — what's worth an executive's limited hours, and what to avoid this particular week. |
How we communicate with corporate clients
Day-to-day: WhatsApp Business (+65 8033 1803). It is a verified WhatsApp Business account with published hours, not a personal mobile — and it is deliberately the primary channel, because the value of an independent advisory is a named local answering directly rather than a ticket queue. Replies land within a few hours during Singapore waking hours. Assignees and travelling executives get the same number, so a family landing at 11pm has a real person to ask.
Formal lane: email. Scoping documents, invoices, procurement paperwork, insurance certificates and press enquiries go to contactstgbyalocal@gmail.com, answered within 24 hours. If your organisation restricts messaging apps on managed devices, email alone works perfectly — several corporate clients run entirely that way.
Engagement & commercials
Corporate work is scoped on a call and invoiced — no per-transaction billing, no supplier rebates, no minimum volumes. Licensing runs quarterly and cancels anytime. Pilot engagements (one cohort, one intake, one quarter of licensing) are normal and encouraged: most partners start with a single assignee family or a single term's welcome pack.

Frequently asked questions
Do you work with relocation management companies?
Yes — as the independent local layer beside them, not as a competitor. RMCs handle the logistics of a move; we handle the judgement questions their process can't answer neutrally: which neighbourhood actually suits this family, whether this lease is normal, which school waitlist is real. We take no commissions from any landlord, agent or school, so our input carries no channel conflict with your supply chain.
What does corporate advisory cost?
Corporate engagements start from SGD 1,900 and are scoped on a call, because assignee numbers, timelines and depth vary widely. Volume licensing of our Pre-Arrival Pack for client or assignee distribution starts from SGD 200 per quarter with unlimited issuance, and can be co-branded with your covering letter.
Can you support executive assistants booking Singapore trips?
Yes — that is one of our most common corporate uses. EAs get a single point of contact for the judgement calls no booking platform answers: which hotel area suits a three-day executive schedule, whether a date collides with F1 or a major conference, where a dietary-restricted client dinner actually works. Written itineraries start at SGD 220.
Are you licensed to handle visa applications or bookings?
No, deliberately. We are an advisory: we explain, compare and pressure-test decisions. We do not make bookings, handle immigration filings or act as a travel agent — those are regulated or commission-bearing activities, and staying out of them is what keeps our advice independent. We work alongside your existing agents, movers and immigration counsel.
