I'm buying a franchise — what does incorporation involve?
Franchisees normally incorporate a Sdn Bhd to hold the franchise agreement, and Malaysia's Franchise Act imposes registration obligations — primarily on franchisors, but franchisees should confirm the franchisor is properly registered before signing. The franchise agreement usually specifies the entity type and sometimes minimum capital.

Check the franchisor's registration status and read the agreement's entity requirements before we file, so the company we incorporate matches what you're contractually required to have.
