Starting an RTH‑TC Application as a One‑Person Company: What You Really Need to Know
If you’re a one‑person founder with a serious R&D project you want to bring to life — congratulations. You’re already ahead of most people who only talk about ideas but never take the first step. And if you’re reading this, you’re in the right place. This article is exactly what you need.
Let’s break down the minimum supporting documents you must prepare before submitting your application.
📄 The Bare Minimum Supporting Documents
Even as a one‑man company, the RTH‑TC still requires you to demonstrate that your business is legitimate, operational, and capable of hosting a research talent. At minimum, prepare:
Business Registration Certificate (BRC)
Certificate of Incorporation (CI)
NAR1 (Annual Return)
Tenancy Agreement (your office or workspace)
Employment contract of at least one existing staff member
Yes, even a one‑man company must have at least one employee
Research talent’s graduation certificate
Recruitment advertisement
Must show a fair and open hiring process
Identity proof (ID) of the research talent
R&D equipment list
Even basic equipment counts if it is relevant to your project
Employment contract with the research talent
Can be conditional upon RTH approval
At first glance, this list looks intimidating. But in practice, each item is straightforward once you understand the purpose behind it: the government needs to verify that your company is real, your project is real, and your hiring process is fair.
