How should a startup incorporate if it plans to raise funding?
Investors expect a clean Sdn Bhd: an accurate cap table, complete allotment history, a constitution if special share rights are needed, and statutory registers that survive due diligence. Founders' shares should be issued properly at incorporation rather than reconstructed later, and any vesting arrangement belongs in a shareholders' agreement from the start.
Statutory figures: Companies Act 2016

The expensive version of this is fixing it at term-sheet time, when a missing resolution or an unrecorded transfer holds up a round. Keeping the statutory record diligence-ready is ordinary retainer work.
