How do I register a Sdn Bhd in Malaysia?
Registering a Sdn Bhd takes five steps: reserve a name, confirm director and shareholder details, choose business codes (MSIC), file the Superform on SSM's Corporate Registry System (CRS) with the RM1,010 fee, then appoint a licensed company secretary within 30 days (Section 236, Companies Act 2016). SSM approval typically 3–7 working days once documents are complete; about two weeks end-to-end from first message.

You can file yourself on CRS, but most founders engage a licensed secretary from day one — the secretary is mandatory within 30 days anyway, and name rejections plus form errors are the two delays that cost the most time.
With us the entire process runs online — through our message form and email: send director/shareholder ICs, three name choices and a short business description; we pre-screen the names, file the Superform, and hand you the Notice of Registration. Incorporation is RM 2,588; the year-one retainer, registered office, BO declaration and annual return are stated as their own lines, not folded into it.
