Can I reserve a company name before incorporating?
Yes — a name application costs RM50 and an approved name is reserved for 30 days, extendable in further 30-day blocks up to 180 days in total. Useful when shareholders or documents aren't ready but the name matters now. If everything is ready, direct incorporation skips the separate reservation and bundles the search into the RM1,010.
