How do I check if a company is legitimate before paying them?
Minimum viable check: pull the SSM profile to confirm the company exists and is active, verify the bank account name matches the registered name exactly, and search for winding-up petitions and litigation against it. The SSM profile alone won't reveal a company with three winding-up petitions and a director disqualified elsewhere.
Statutory figures: SSM e-Info

That deeper search is exactly our Counterparty Check. If you're about to extend RM50,000 of credit or sign a twelve-month contract, a few hundred ringgit of checking is not an expense — it's the cheapest insurance available.
