What it actually costs to incorporate in Malaysia
Every figure on this page is the real one, inclusive of SST — including the ones that usually surface later.

Tell us the exact headcount and we will confirm the figure the same working day — itemised the same way as above.
Incorporating a Malaysian company costs RM 2,588 for one director-and-shareholder, plus RM 300 for each additional person. For one person the first twelve months come to RM 5,168 once the company secretary (RM 1,296), registered office (RM 324), beneficial ownership declaration (RM 324) and annual return (RM 636) are counted. Year two onward is RM 2,580, inclusive of SST.
The other half of a price
What this does not cover
Printed at the same size as the receipt, because a price is only complete when the exclusions are visible next to it.
Rubber stamp
not included — the common seal is
Additional name searches
RM 100 each; one is included
Accounting, tax filing and audit
quoted when actually needed, never bundled to inflate a headline
Business or premise licences
depends on your activity; we tell you which apply before you file
Your paid-up capital
your money, into your own account — not a fee
Transactional secretarial work
a director or share change is RM 324; add stamp duty on a transfer, and a second RM 324 for the BO filing where ownership actually moves. Other jobs are quoted in advance
If something is missing from both lists, ask — the answer is a figure, not a range.
Before you sign anywhere
Four questions worth asking any provider — including us
What is the full first-year total, in writing?
RM 5,168 for a one-person company, itemised above.
What does year two cost?
RM 2,580, on this page.
Who personally files my documents?
A licensed secretary you can name, WhatsApp and walk in to meet.
What does it cost to leave you?
Nothing to leave; we hand your statutory records to your next secretary. Closing the company is RM 3,500, inclusive of SST.
Ask these four of everyone on your shortlist. Any firm can answer them; the useful signal is who does.
Separate services
Not part of incorporation, and priced on their own.
None of these is bundled into a package or needed by every company. Every figure here is inclusive of SST, like every other figure on the page.
A Malaysian-resident director for a foreign-owned company, with the liability that carries. The deposit is refundable and is not subject to SST; the annual fee is inclusive of it.
RM 27,000 a year
+ RM 5,000 security deposit
The first corporate account is inside the incorporation package — the bank resolution on the receipt above is it. We prepare and run the application; the bank decides the outcome.
Included
RM 216 per additional account
Due diligence on a company you are about to deal with. 2–3 working days.
from RM 302.40
incl. SST
Background verification before a senior hire. 3–5 working days.
from RM 518.40
incl. SST
The deeper check, for a shareholder or joint-venture partner. 3–5 working days.
from RM 734.40
incl. SST
Questions we get
What founders ask about our pricing.
Because choosing is not your job. Which package applies is a fact about your structure — how many directors and shareholders the company has, counting a person once even if they are both — so we look it up rather than ask you to self-diagnose from a table. RM 2,588 for one person, plus RM 300 for each additional director or shareholder.
We would rather show the arithmetic than assert there are none. Incorporation for a one-person company is RM 2,588; the year-one company secretary, registered office, beneficial ownership declaration and annual return add RM 2,580; the first twelve months come to RM 5,168, inclusive of SST. Year two onward is RM 2,580. What sits outside those figures is listed above, at the same size.
No. Almost everything we do is a fixed fee, agreed before the work. Hourly billing pays for slowness. The recurring items are flat figures — company secretary (RM 1,296), registered office (RM 324), beneficial ownership declaration (RM 324) and annual return (RM 636) — and they recur from year one, not year two.
RM 27,000 a year, inclusive of SST, plus a RM 5,000 security deposit, which is refundable and not subject to SST. It covers acting as a Malaysian-resident director of your company: the fiduciary duty, the personal regulatory exposure and the availability that comes with it. It is a separate service from incorporation, not a package upgrade.
Twenty-one more cost questions — which SSM figure is the right one, what year two costs, what a Sdn Bhd costs per year to maintain — are answered in full under cost & pricing answers.
Ask us your figure
Tell us how many directors and shareholders you have and what you are building. A licensed secretary replies within one working hour (Mon–Fri 8:30am–5:30pm MYT; outside hours, first thing next working day) — with a figure, not a range.
