Common questions

Why do I need a company secretary?

Under the Companies Act 2016, every Malaysian company must appoint at least one qualified company secretary. They keep your statutory records, lodge returns with SSM and advise the board on compliance.

Can a foreigner set up a company in Malaysia?

Yes. Foreigners can own 100% of a Sdn Bhd. At least one director must ordinarily reside in Malaysia — we can provide a nominee resident director while you establish a local presence.

How much share capital do I need?

A Sdn Bhd can start with as little as RM1 in share capital. Higher paid-up capital may be needed for certain licences or to hire foreign employees.

Can I switch from my current company secretary?

Yes, at any time. We handle the paperwork, the SSM lodgement and the collection of your records from your previous secretary.
