How do I set up a joint venture with a foreign partner?
A JV is normally a new Sdn Bhd with negotiated equity, governed by a joint venture or shareholders' agreement covering control, deadlock, funding obligations and exit. Watch two things: sector foreign-equity caps that may constrain the split you've agreed commercially, and beneficial-ownership reporting on the foreign side's chain.

We incorporate the vehicle and handle the statutory side; the deal terms belong with lawyers. Running due diligence on the partner before signing is the step most JVs skip and later regret.
