Frequently asked questions
Questions before you get started.
Does a Sdn. Bhd. need a company secretary?
A Malaysian private company generally must appoint a qualified company secretary within the statutory period. We can explain the appointment process and ongoing company secretarial requirements.
What is an Annual Return?
An Annual Return is a statutory filing containing key company information submitted to SSM. We can help identify the documents and coordinate the filing timetable within our agreed scope.
Can you assist with changes to directors or shareholders?
