Preparing Companies in Malaysia

Companies in Malaysia are required to follow certain guidelines in order to be successfully registered and operate within the country. The Companies Commission of Malaysia (SSM) is the main regulatory body for businesses in Malaysia, and it is important for companies to be aware of the requirements set forth by the SSM.

Some of the key requirements for company registration in Malaysia include having a minimum paid-up capital of RM2,000, appointing at least two directors who are Malaysian citizens or permanent residents, and having a registered office address in Malaysia. In addition, companies are required to maintain proper accounting records and submit annual financial statements to the SSM.

Failure to comply with the requirements set forth by the SSM can result in severe penalties, including the dissolution of the company. Therefore, it is important for companies to be aware of the requirements and to take steps to ensure compliance.
