Representatives Or Agents Companies in Malaysia

A representative office (RO) is a foreign company's liaison office in Malaysia and is not allowed to carry out any business activities. An RO is restricted to performing market research, promoting and maintaining the company's image and business activities, and providing information about the company to Malaysian businesses and individuals.

A foreign company may appoint a Malaysian individual or company as its agent to perform certain tasks on its behalf. The agent must be registered with the Malaysian Ministry of International Trade and Industry. The tasks that an agent can perform on behalf of a foreign company include promoting and selling the company's products, providing information about the company, and representing the company at trade fairs and exhibitions.
