## Does my company name need to end with Sdn Bhd?

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

Yes — a private limited company must carry 'Sendirian Berhad' or the abbreviation 'Sdn. Bhd.' as part of its name, and the full name must appear on business letters, invoices, official publications and signage. The suffix is what tells the world they're dealing with a limited-liability entity; omitting it on documents is an offence, not a style choice.
