Can I sell my Sdn Bhd instead of closing it?
Yes — a share sale transfers the company with its history intact: contracts, licences and registrations usually continue uninterrupted, which is often exactly why a buyer prefers it. The buyer inherits the liabilities too, so expect due diligence, and expect stamp duty on the transfer assessed against the shares' real value.

Sellers benefit from a clean statutory record — filings current, registers accurate, resolutions in order. That's ordinary retainer work that quietly raises what a buyer will pay and shortens the diligence period.
