SERVICE
EJ CONSULTANCY
OVERVIEW
Starting a company in Malaysia involves three key stages. Before incorporation, you’ll need to choose the right business structure, understand the tax impact, and ensure you meet legal requirements. During the setup, EJ Consultancy helps reserve your company name, prepare documents, and complete the SSM registration. After incorporation, we assist with opening a bank account, handling compliance filings, and keeping your statutory records up to date.

Match your business activities (e.g. trading, services) with the most suitable structure — most commonly, a Sendirian Berhad (Sdn Bhd).
Understand how each structure affects your tax responsibilities, including potential corporate tax and SST obligations.
Compare the costs involved across structures to plan your capital effectively.
Evaluate which setup gives you better access to bank loans or investor funding.
Know the regulatory burden (filings, renewals, reporting) of each option.
Confirm you meet the legal requirements, such as:
At least one local director
Minimum one shareholder
A licensed company secretary
Choose a structure like Sdn Bhd that offers limited liability, protecting your personal assets from business risks.
DURING INCORPORATION
Submit your preferred name to SSM and handle any approval queries.
We assist in collecting and preparing all documents required for directors, shareholders, business activity, and registered office.
Upon approval, you’ll receive your official Notice of Registration and Certificate of Incorporation.
We help you identify and apply for any industry-specific licenses or approvals needed to legally operate.
