## Do I need a DBKL licence for my business in Kuala Lumpur?

Last updated: 14 October 2026 Answer from Robo Company Secretary How we write answers

DBKL licensing depends on the activity, premises and signage in Kuala Lumpur. Check the applicable licence category before operating. An online or home-based service is not automatically exempt simply because customers do not visit. Using a company secretary’s registered office does not establish permission to operate at your actual business address.
