Do you want to register your company in Malaysia? If Yes!
You are at the right place. This article will guide you with information
regarding company registration in Malaysia through SSM online portal, i.e.
SSM-e info. Registering a business in Malaysia is not that complex and you need to follow some
simple steps to get your company registered under Company Commission of
Malaysia (Suruhanjaya Syarikat Malaysia)
Step 1: Brainstorm
Company Names
It is recommended to get a trade name for your business. A
company trade name should not be like your personal name; the trade name should
look more professional. So, for trade name registration you should at least
have three name suggestions written on the “Borang PNA 42” form. Among those three
names, only one name will be registered by SSM upon verification. Your business
name should be –
- Unique
- Easy to remember
- Must be relevant to the business
Business Name &
Trade Name
A business name and trade name are not the same. A business
name is the name of a person who owns the company, more appropriately it’s the
name of the person whose name is used in the government forms or application
for business registration.
However, the trade name is another form of the legal
business name. It’s a kind of a name that is used for sales or advertising
purpose. The trade name is almost like a brand name that everyone sees for
example- Adidas, Nike, Netflix, etc. Sometimes a similar kind of name can also be
used as a business or trade name.
2. Check Company Name
Availability
By using SSM online system, you can check the availability
of your company name. It is essential to check the name availability because
another company might already be using a similar kind of name that you want to
use. Name search also minimizes the possibility of name rejection by SSM. The
steps of company name search via online are shown below–
- You must visit – www.ssm-einfo.my
- Click on the icon of “Register as an e-account member.”
- Now fill the registration form with appropriate information and click on “Submit.”
- You will receive a message with login information.
- Login in to your account by using an appropriate username and password.
- Once you successfully logged in, click on the “search” icon.
- Now enter your company name in the search box and search for the name availability.
3. Complete “BORANG PNA 42 & BORANG A”
Form
BORANG PNA 42 Form is required for company trade name
registration. You must fill the form with appropriate information including – 3
names of your company and explain the type of business that you are going to
operate. Once you complete BORANG PNA 42, you must attach it with BORANG A
Form. The BORANG A form must include the data of business incorporation,
business code, shareholders details, and type of the business.
4. Submit the Forms
You need to submit the forms to the SSM head office. The local
partners of your company must be physically present during the submission of
the forms. The requirement is–
- Your partner must have Malaysian citizenship.
- Must have a permanent resident.
- It should be at least 18 years old.
It is important that a person respects government rules and
regulations before opening a business. This is the key to the success of your
business. Clients will have trust in a registered company that is not
registered, and the owner of the company will conduct the job smoothly, he
knows that he is legal.
