Incorporate from anywhere

You do not need to be in Malaysia to incorporate here. Documents are signed and submitted remotely on your behalf. And once you're set up, we stay by your side for all ongoing compliance, accounting, and advisory needs.

Bank account opening included

We assist with your corporate bank account opening so your company is ready to transact from day one, not weeks after incorporation.

Structured and managed for you

We advise on your shareholding, director setup, and company structure before anything is filed. Then we manage the entire process on your behalf. You review and sign. That is your only action.

Company Types

Choose the right structure
for your business.

Not sure which structure is right for you? We'll advise you, but here's a quick overview of your options in Malaysia.

A private limited company is the most widely used business structure in Malaysia. It is a separate legal entity from its owners, meaning shareholders are not personally liable for the company's debts. It is suitable for most businesses, from small startups to established operations.

Min. directors1 (must ordinarily reside in Malaysia)

Company secretaryRequired from date of incorporation
Foreign ownershipUp to 100% in most sectors

A PLT combines the flexibility of a partnership with the limited liability protection of a company. It is governed by the Limited Liability Partnerships Act 2012 rather than the Companies Act. Commonly used by professional firms such as accountants, lawyers, and consultants.

A sole proprietorship is the simplest and most affordable business structure, registered with SSM under the Registration of Businesses Act 1956. It is not a separate legal entity. The owner and the business are the same, which means the owner bears unlimited personal liability for all business debts.

Best forFreelancers, micro businesses

A conventional partnership is a business owned by two or more individuals. Like a sole proprietorship, it is not a separate legal entity. Partners are jointly and personally liable for the debts of the business. It is simple and low cost to set up but comes with significant personal liability exposure.

FAQ

Common questions
about incorporation.

Processing times with SSM can vary and are subject to their current workload. We will keep you informed throughout the process and manage the submission on your behalf.

Generally, you will need a copy of your MyKad or passport, your preferred company name, details of the shareholders and directors, and information about your business activities. We will guide you through exactly what is needed once we start.

Yes, every Malaysian company must have a registered address in Malaysia. This is where official SSM correspondence and notices are sent. It does not need to be your operating office. We can advise on your options.

The legal minimum is RM1. However, the appropriate amount depends on your business activity, sector, and any licensing requirements that apply. We will advise you on a practical figure before incorporation.

Yes. Under the Companies Act 2016, every Sdn Bhd must appoint a licensed company secretary within 30 days of incorporation. We provide this service and can handle the appointment as part of your incorporation package.

Yes. We can handle the incorporation process entirely on your behalf. Documents can be signed electronically, and you do not need to be in Malaysia during the process.

Yes. Foreign nationals can hold shares in a Malaysian Sdn Bhd, and 100% foreign ownership is permitted in most sectors. Some regulated industries have specific foreign equity restrictions. We will advise you on your sector before proceeding.

A Sdn Bhd must file an annual return with SSM, maintain statutory registers, hold annual general meetings, and comply with income tax obligations. Your company secretary handles the SSM filings; your accountant handles the tax side. We provide both, so nothing is missed.

Yes. A Sdn Bhd is a separate legal entity and must have its own corporate bank account. Mixing personal and company funds creates serious accounting and legal complications. We assist with the bank account opening as part of your incorporation engagement.

A Sdn Bhd is subject to corporate income tax on its chargeable income. Small and medium companies with paid-up capital not exceeding RM2.5 million enjoy a preferential tax rate on the first RM150,000 of chargeable income. Depending on your business, you may also need to register for Sales and Service Tax (SST). We handle all of this as part of our accounting and tax service.

Yes. Shares can be transferred or new shares allotted after incorporation through a formal share transfer or allotment process. This requires a resolution, updated statutory registers, and SSM filings, all handled by your company secretary. Getting the initial structure right is still advisable, as restructuring later involves additional cost and paperwork.
