What are the disadvantages of a Sdn Bhd?
Honestly: ongoing cost and formality. A Sdn Bhd must keep a licensed secretary, file an annual return, prepare financial statements (audited unless exempt), and file corporate tax — typically several thousand ringgit a year even when small. Money also leaves the company formally, through salary or dividends, not by treating the account as your wallet.

That's the trade for limited liability, SME tax tiers and corporate credibility. Our own recurring lines are published rather than quoted on request — retainer RM 1,296, registered office RM 324, BO declaration RM 324, annual return RM 636 — because an owner who incorporates knowing the costs stays a client, and one who discovers them in month three doesn't.
