Business Entity Types
Types Of Company Registration
Before registering a company in Malaysia, it is important to choose the right business structure recognised by SSM.
Most Popular
Private Limited Company (Sdn Bhd)
Best for: Startups, SMEs, foreign investors, and growing businesses
A Sdn Bhd (Sendirian Berhad) is a separate legal entity with limited liability for shareholders. It is distinct from its owners, meaning personal assets are protected from business debts. It is the most popular and recommended structure in Malaysia for businesses seeking growth, investment, or foreign ownership.
Key benefits: Limited liability, separate legal entity, eligibility for government grants, ability to open a corporate bank account, and 100% foreign ownership in most sectors.
SSM Government Fee: RM 1,010
Explore Sdn Bhd RegistrationSole Proprietorship
Best for: Freelancers, self-employed individuals, and small local businesses
A sole proprietorship is owned and managed by one individual. It is one of the simplest and lowest-cost business registration structures in Malaysia, but the owner remains personally responsible for all business debts and liabilities.
Key benefits: Easy to register, low registration cost, and straightforward compliance requirements.
SSM Government Fee: RM 30 - RM 60
Partnership
Best for: Two or more individuals running a joint business
A conventional partnership allows two to twenty partners to operate a business together. Partners share profits, debts, and liabilities, and they remain jointly responsible for business obligations.
Key benefits: Easy to form, shared resources and management, and a simple structure for small joint ventures.
SSM Government Fee: RM 60 - RM 120
Foreign Company / Branch Office
Best for: International companies expanding into Malaysia
Foreign companies can register a branch office or subsidiary under the Companies Act 2016. A branch office extends the foreign parent company, while a subsidiary registered as a Sdn Bhd is an independent legal entity. Many foreign investors prefer a Sdn Bhd for flexibility and liability protection.
Key benefits: Establishes a legal Malaysian presence, supports market entry, and enables access to company structures incorporated in Malaysia.

How To Register A Company
Our team handles the entire process for you. Here is how company registration works in Malaysia, step by step.
1
Choose Your Business Structure
Select the appropriate company type for your needs - Sdn Bhd, sole proprietorship, partnership, or foreign branch. We advise clients on the right structure based on business goals and tax position before filing.
We provide a free initial consultation to help you decide.

We conduct a company name availability search through the SSM MyCoID portal at no extra charge. The proposed name must be unique, compliant, and aligned with SSM naming rules.
Free name search is included in all packages.
