EJ CONSULTANCY

OVERVIEW

If you’re a foreigner not residing in Malaysia, you're required to appoint at least one resident director to incorporate a company here. While you search for a long-term local partner, EJ Consultancy offers a Nominee Director Service — providing you with a qualified, non-executive local director to meet statutory requirements.

This service is designed as a temporary compliance solution, giving you time to enter the Malaysian market while maintaining legal structure and peace of mind. Once you’ve identified a suitable local partner, we’ll transfer the directorship accordingly.

WHAT IS NOMINEE DIRECTOR

A Nominee Director Service in Malaysia allows a foreign-owned company to meet the legal requirement of having at least one resident director, as mandated by the Companies Act 2016. This service provides a qualified Malaysian individual to act as a non-executive director in name only, without involvement in daily business operations. It is typically used as a temporary solution for foreign investors who are not residing in Malaysia or have yet to appoint a local partner. The nominee's role is limited to statutory compliance, and full control of the company remains with the foreign shareholder or executive director.
