Business Formation in Malaysia |

||||||||||||||||
Starting a business in Malaysia is achieved in a total of eight weeks, from initial Malaysia company application to receipt of all bank account material (including PINs/passwords etc). The following is an overview of the challenges and advantages of Malaysia business set up,as well as our capabilities: |
|||||||||||||||||
| 1. | Business formation in Malaysia is cost effective because of reasonable government fees and a low minimum capital requirement of RM2. |
||||||||||||||||
| 2. | When starting a business in Malaysia, a minimum of 2 shareholders and 2 directors is required. Both directors must be resident in Malaysia but can be of any nationality. Corporate directors are not permitted. Following Malaysia business set up, a register of directors is kept at the company's registered office and is available for public inspection. In addition, a Malaysian company is required to have a Malaysia-resident company secretary. |
