Back to HomeOur Methodology
How every engagement is structured
Initial Advisory
We review your intended activities, ownership, and future plans to identify which structure fits.
Written Scope
A scope note with fee, deliverables, and timeline is provided in writing before any work begins.
Filing & Registration
SSM incorporation, statutory registrations, and required authority filings are managed in sequence.
Handover Briefing
All documents handed to you with an explanation of the company's ongoing obligations and next milestones.
Sdn Bhd Formation & First-Year Setup
A considered formation engagement for new Malaysian private limited companies. The scope covers structure advisory, drafting of the company constitution, shareholder agreement preparation where more than one shareholder is involved, SSM incorporation filing, corporate bank account onboarding support, registrations with LHDN, EPF, SOCSO, and EIS, and first-year company secretarial arrangements.
The engagement is structured so that the client understands each step before it is taken and holds a clear written record of all decisions made during set-up. This matters particularly at the constitution and shareholder agreement stage — choices made there shape how the company operates and how disputes, if any, are managed.
- Structure advisory — Sdn Bhd suitability for your plans
- Company constitution drafted for your ownership arrangement
- Shareholder agreement preparation (where applicable)
- SSM incorporation filing managed in full
- LHDN income tax file, EPF, SOCSO and EIS registration
- Corporate bank account onboarding support
- First-year company secretarial arrangement
RM 1,500
Professional fee. SSM government fees billed at cost.
Typical timeline
Suited to
- Professional service firms (consulting, design, legal support)
- Founders who prefer LLP's lighter administrative structure
- Sole operators wanting a registered business name
- Partners looking to formalise an existing arrangement
LLP, Sole Proprietorship & Partnership Advisory
A structure-specific practice for founders choosing routes other than Sdn Bhd. This includes Limited Liability Partnerships, registered sole proprietorships, and conventional partnerships. The LLP is particularly suited to professional service firms and smaller ventures that want limited liability without the full administrative weight of a company.
Scope includes structural and tax comparison, drafting of LLP agreements or partnership deeds, SSM filings, and guidance on migration to an Sdn Bhd structure in due course. The engagement is priced to reflect the narrower scope and is delivered in a single format where the client prefers.
- Structural and tax comparison — LLP, sole prop, or partnership
- LLP agreement or partnership deed drafting
- SSM registration and filing management
- Guidance on Sdn Bhd migration pathway
- Post-registration statutory briefing
RM 2,800
Professional fee. SSM government fees billed at cost.
Foreign-Owned Entities & Regulated Activity Setup
A specialist engagement for foreign investors establishing a Malaysian presence, including Sdn Bhd, Labuan company, or branch office formation. The scope includes equity participation review in light of sectoral equity conditions, MIDA and sectoral licence guidance across financial services, education, healthcare, digital, construction, and logistics, employment pass planning for founding personnel, and early-stage tax advisory including withholding tax positioning on cross-border service fees.
Engagements are led by a named partner and delivered at a pace consistent with the investor's broader market entry programme. We map the regulatory landscape first, so the entity structure is determined with full knowledge of what each option permits.
- Sdn Bhd, Labuan, or branch office formation
- Equity participation review — sectoral conditions mapping
- MIDA and sectoral authority licence guidance
- Employment pass planning for founding personnel
- Withholding tax and cross-border fee advisory
- Named partner lead throughout the engagement
RM 5,600
Professional fee. Government fees and disbursements billed at cost.
