## Malaysia, Singapore or Delaware — where should I incorporate?

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

Short version: incorporate where your customers, banking and daily operations actually live. Malaysia's SME tiers (15%/17%/24%) and operating costs are highly competitive against Singapore's flat 17% with startup exemptions; Delaware matters mainly when US venture capital demands it. Founders operating in Malaysia who incorporate abroad usually buy complexity, not advantage.
