The business behind the filing

Resolve the local requirements before filing.

A private limited company, known as a Sdn. Bhd., can be relevant for an international business entering Malaysia. The right arrangement depends on the sector, planned activities and local management. We review those questions before preparing the incorporation file.

What we help with

A scope built
around your project.

01

Structure and sector review

Explain what the Malaysian company will do and how it will be owned. Sector-specific licences and foreign ownership conditions need to be assessed alongside the incorporation, rather than assumed from the company form alone.

02

Director and shareholder arrangements

SSM requires a private company to have at least one director who ordinarily resides in Malaysia. We discuss the proposed director arrangements and the documents needed for the shareholders and promoters.

03

Incorporation with SSM

We help prepare the name application and incorporation particulars for the Companies Commission of Malaysia, known as SSM. These include the proposed activities, addresses and officer details.

04

Company secretary and operating setup

SSM states that a company secretary must be appointed within 30 days after incorporation. We help scope the secretary, banking preparation and ongoing administration you will need. Bank approval and additional licences remain separate decisions.

Details that matter

Before you
make a decision.

Is a director resident in Malaysia required?

Yes. SSM states that a private company needs at least one director who ordinarily resides in Malaysia by having a principal place of residence there.

Can foreign investors own the company?

The proposed sector and activities must be reviewed. Company incorporation and sector-specific foreign ownership or licensing conditions are separate questions.

When is the company secretary appointed?

SSM states that a company secretary must be appointed within 30 days after incorporation. Include that arrangement in the setup plan.

Does incorporation allow every business activity?

No. Additional licences or approvals can apply to the intended activity. We identify that review as part of the project scope.

What is included in the quote?

The proposal identifies incorporation work, local service arrangements and any additional support. Share your director, location and licensing needs so we can scope it accurately.
