Company Registration in Malaysia

Today, many experienced entrepreneurs looking to register a new company choose Malaysia. The popularity of this choice is due to the fact that this Southeast Asian country has a rapidly developing economy, a well-developed financial sector, and high investment attractiveness.

If you are interested in Malaysia, company registration in this jurisdiction has several advantages, including:

  • favorable conditions for small and medium-sized companies;
  • free economic zones aimed at export trade;
  • English is the second most widely spoken language in the country;
  • tax incentives for business owners, including potential tax exemptions if certain conditions are met.

Steps

01

Choosing a Name for the Future Company in Malaysia

The client must provide 3 name options for the company. We will check their availability and suggest free alternatives for final selection. If all three options are taken, additional options will be requested. Providing 3 names is not mandatory but speeds up the verification process.

02

Preparing Documents

The client must prepare personal documents for company registration. This can be done alongside stage 1. The exact list depends on the company specifics. Usually, a passport copy and proof of address are required.

03

Preparing Registration Forms

Based on the client’s data, a set of documents is prepared for submission to the Registry.

04

Submitting Registration Documents

The completed documents are submitted to the Registry. The registrar processes the documents, and the company is entered into the Registry database.

05

Receiving Confirmation of Company Registration

Once the company is entered into the Registry, its registration details can be viewed, and paper copies of statutory documents (certified or uncertified) can be requested. Our specialists can assist with notarization, apostille, and translations if needed.

What Malaysia Offers: Open a Company on Favorable Terms

As a result of economic liberalization, the Malaysian authorities have significantly simplified the procedure for registering new enterprises:

  • 100% foreign ownership of companies is allowed;
  • no requirements for paid-up capital;
  • registration applications can be submitted online.

These conditions create favorable opportunities for entrepreneurs interested in registering companies in Malaysia. However, you should also pay attention to certain requirements and regulations regarding new companies:

  • at least one founder and one director are required, with the director being a resident of Malaysia;
  • a registered legal address is required in Malaysia — this is where government correspondence will be sent;
  • a company secretary is required;
  • the director must not be bankrupt or have criminal convictions in the last 5 years.

In practice, requirements for founders when registering a company in Malaysia are minimal. Even a foreign national can be a founder and director, provided they are a Malaysian resident, meaning they have a permanent address in the country. Additionally, a work permit is required.

Company Registration in Malaysia: What Entrepreneurs Should Know

The process of creating a new company involves coming up with a company name before submitting the application. The legal form abbreviation, e.g., Sdn Bhd, is added to the end of the name.
