Company setup options in Malaysia​​

Private Limited Company

A preferred choice for local and foreign entrepreneurs, this structure offers limited liability and allows 100% foreign ownership in most sectors. It enables work visa applications for foreign employees, requires a minimum paid-up capital of RM1, and mandates at least one director and shareholder. With its straightforward setup and flexibility, it is an attractive option for businesses entering Malaysia.

Representative Office

Ideal for foreign companies conducting market research, this option is fully controlled by the parent company. Restricted to non-commercial activities, it cannot generate income and requires approval from the Malaysian government. With no minimum paid-up capital required, it offers a cost-effective way to explore opportunities. Granted for a specific time frame, it also provides renewal options for added flexibility.

REGISTER TODAY

Branch Office

Ideal for companies with established international operations, this option enables businesses to extend operations to Malaysia. Activities must align with and mirror those of the parent company and require a Resident Agent to represent the branch locally. Subject to Malaysian regulatory compliance, it operates as a non-resident entity for tax purposes, providing a straightforward way to expand regionally.

Company Registration Procedure in Malaysia

  • Select the most suitable business structure, such as a Private Limited Company (Sdn. Bhd.), Representative Office, or Branch Office, each with different legal and tax implications.
  • Register your business with the Companies Commission of Malaysia (SSM) by submitting a name reservation and incorporation documents. Approval typically takes 1 to 3 working days.
  • Appoint a licensed company secretary within 30 days of incorporation for regulatory compliance and corporate filings.
  • Ensure the minimum paid-up capital meets requirements. While most businesses can start with RM1, foreign-owned companies may need higher capital depending on the industry.
  • Prepare and submit key documents, including the Company Constitution, Declaration of Compliance (Form 201), and Director & Shareholder Details (Form 48A & 49).
  • Obtain necessary business licenses and approvals, as certain industries (e.g., finance, education, retail, manufacturing) require additional permits from government agencies.
  • Register for taxes with the Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia (LHDN), including Tax Identification Number (TIN), Sales & Service Tax (SST), Corporate Income Tax (CIT), and Employer Provident Fund (EPF) if applicable.
  • Apply for work permits and visas for foreign directors and employees, such as Employment Passes (EP), Professional Visit Passes (PVP), or Dependent Passes (DP) through Malaysia Immigration Department.
  • Open a corporate bank account for financial transactions, payroll, and tax payments. Some banks require a physical presence of directors during account setup.
  • Comply with ongoing legal obligations by filing annual returns, financial statements, and tax filings with SSM and LHDN to maintain compliance and avoid penalties.
