Turning an enterprise into a Sdn Bhd
Suppliers want invoices from a company, and you want your personal assets kept apart from the business. We convert you without stopping trade.
Open your Sdn Bhd and keep it in good standing.
Sdn Bhd registration and a licensed company secretary for Malaysian founders. We file with SSM, keep your statutory registers, and remind you before every deadline. SSM fees are shown on a separate line, always.

Made for Malaysian business owners at every stage.
From the kopitiam owner registering her first company to the trading firm that has been around since the nineties.
Running a company for years
You have traded for twenty years and your secretary only sends invoices. You want someone who explains what was filed, and when.
Selling online and growing fast
Marketplaces and payment platforms ask for company documents. You need a Sdn Bhd set up properly the first time.
Bidding for bigger contracts
Main contractors and corporate clients check your SSM profile. A clean filing record helps you pass vendor registration.

A company is not a one-time registration. It is a file that keeps growing for as long as the company exists. Scroll through the pages we write, lodge and keep for you.
Day 0
Find a name SSM will approve.
Most delays start here. SSM rejects names that are too close to an existing company, use restricted words, or suggest a licence you do not hold. We check your shortlist before anything is paid, so the first submission is usually the last.
Name reservation is RM50 for 30 days, under s.27 of the Companies Act 2016.

Appoint a licensed company secretary.
The law requires it, and it is where we come in for good. We are appointed by board resolution, set up your statutory registers and constitution if you want one, and confirm your registered office address.
Section 236 requires a secretary within 30 days. Section 235 requires them to be licensed by SSM or a member of a prescribed body.

Every year, after your company's birthday
Lodge the annual return.
Every year, your company tells SSM who its directors, shareholders and officers are. Miss it and the company faces compounds, and its SSM profile shows the gap to every bank and partner who checks.
Due within 30 days from each anniversary of incorporation, under s.68. SSM fee RM150.

Within 6 months of your year end
Circulate and lodge your financial statements.
Your accountant prepares the accounts, the auditor signs them if you are not audit-exempt, and we handle the rest: circulating them to members, the directors' paperwork, and lodging with SSM on time.
Circulate within 6 months of financial year end (s.258), lodge within 30 days after circulation (s.259).

Whenever something changes
Keep the file true.
A new director, a partner buying in, a move to a new office, a change in who really owns the company. Each one needs a resolution, an update to your registers, and a notice to SSM, most within 14 days.
Beneficial ownership reporting has applied since the 2024 amendments to the Companies Act 2016.

Founders who stopped worrying about SSM letters.
"I registered my café company on a Monday and had the notice by Wednesday. What I value more is the reminder every year before the annual return."
"Our old secretary missed two annual returns. They found it in the handover, fixed it, and explained the compound in plain words."
"Every quote showed the SSM fee and their fee separately. No surprises when we added a new shareholder."
Fees in two columns
Government fees and our fees are always separate lines on your quote and invoice.

Reviewed by [licensed secretary name], October 2026. Based on the Companies Act 2016 and SSM guidelines. General information, not legal advice.
Does every Sdn Bhd in Malaysia need a company secretary?
Yes. Under Section 236 of the Companies Act 2016, every company must appoint at least one company secretary within 30 days of incorporation. The secretary must be licensed by SSM or be a member of a prescribed professional body such as MAICSA or MIA.
How much does it cost to register a Sdn Bhd?
SSM charges RM1,000 to incorporate a company limited by shares, plus RM50 if you reserve the name first. Professional fees for preparing and lodging the application come on top. We show SSM fees and our fees as separate lines.
How long does registration take?
Once the name is approved and all documents are complete, SSM usually incorporates the company within one to three working days. Most delays come from rejected names or missing director details, which is why we check names first.
When is the SSM annual return due?
Within 30 days from the anniversary of your incorporation date, every year, under Section 68. The SSM fee is RM150. The deadline checker above works out your exact date.
Can a foreigner own 100% of a Sdn Bhd?
In most sectors, yes. The company still needs at least one director who ordinarily resides in Malaysia. Some regulated sectors have equity or licensing conditions, so tell us your business activity first and we will check.
Can I change my company secretary?
Yes. Your board appoints the new secretary by resolution, the outgoing secretary resigns, SSM is notified, and the statutory records are handed over. Your records belong to your company, not to the secretary.
Do you serve companies outside Kuala Lumpur, Selangor and Penang?
Yes. Most clients are in Kuala Lumpur, Selangor, Penang and Negeri Sembilan, but registration and secretarial work is done online, so we serve companies anywhere in Malaysia, including Johor, Perak, Sabah and Sarawak.
Do I need to visit an office to register a Sdn Bhd?
No. Name checks, the incorporation application, identity verification and signing can be handled online and by courier. Meetings can be held over video call.
What is beneficial ownership reporting?
Since the 2024 amendments to the Companies Act 2016, companies must identify the individuals who ultimately own or control them, keep a register of beneficial owners, lodge it with SSM and update it when it changes.
