## What is an MSIC code and how do I choose one?

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

MSIC codes are Malaysia's standard classification of business activities. On the Superform you select up to three codes plus a business description of up to 200 words. The codes matter beyond statistics: banks check them against your stated activity, and some licences and government registrations (like MOF) depend on having the right ones.

Also asked as: msic code list; business activity code ssm; kod msic; choose business nature company; how many msic codes.

Pick codes that match what you will genuinely do — a mismatch between MSIC, your invoices and your bank profile is a common reason corporate account applications stall.

We choose the codes with you at incorporation, looking one step ahead to banking and any licence or tender registrations you plan.
