Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Sdn Bhd incorporation take?
A standard Sdn Bhd registration with SSM typically concludes within 10 to 14 working days, provided all required documents are in order. Our team will prepare your name reservation, constitution, and filing package in advance to keep things moving smoothly.
Can a foreigner own 100% of a Malaysian Sdn Bhd?
In many sectors, yes — Malaysia has progressively liberalised foreign equity requirements. However, certain industries remain subject to specific ownership conditions. We assess your sector and structure a compliant entity from the outset, avoiding complications later.
What is the difference between a branch office and a Sdn Bhd?
A branch office is an extension of the foreign parent company and carries its legal liabilities. A Sdn Bhd is a separate legal entity incorporated in Malaysia, which limits the parent's exposure. Each structure has distinct tax and regulatory implications — our counsel helps you choose the most appropriate path.
What documents does my overseas company need to register a branch?
You will generally need your company's certificate of incorporation, memorandum and articles of association, a list of directors, and a statutory declaration by the authorised representative in Malaysia. All foreign documents typically require notarisation and apostille. We provide a full checklist once we understand your home jurisdiction.
How is corporate restructuring pricing determined?
Each restructuring matter is scoped individually, as complexity varies considerably — from straightforward share transfers to multi-party group mergers. Our RM 4,800 fee is a starting reference for standard engagements. We provide a clear scope and fee estimate after an initial consultation.
Do you handle ongoing compliance after incorporation?
Yes. We provide a compliance checklist and orientation at the conclusion of every incorporation matter. For clients who require ongoing annual filing, company secretarial support, or regulatory updates, we offer continuity arrangements tailored to your company's size and activity level.
