Common mistakes to avoid
✗ Relying on the free basic search for beneficial ownership identification.
✓ Specific 'Company Profile' reports must be purchased to see current shareholders and directors.
✗ Confusing the Registration Number with the Tax Identification Number (TIN).
✓ Always use the 12-digit SSM registration number for entity verification; TINs are issued by LHDN (Inland Revenue Board).
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Sdn Bhd?▾
Sdn Bhd (Sendirian Berhad) is Malaysia's private limited company, equivalent to a Pte Ltd. It requires minimum 1 director (who must be a Malaysian resident), 1 shareholder, and RM 1 minimum paid-up capital.
How do I search SSM?▾
SSM provides basic company name search for free through mydata.ssm.com.my. Detailed company information (directors, shareholders, financial statements) can be purchased for RM 10–50.
Can foreigners fully own Malaysian companies?▾
Foreign ownership rules vary by sector. Many sectors now allow 100% foreign ownership, especially in manufacturing, services, and technology. Some sectors like telecommunications and financial services have ownership restrictions.
What is Malaysia's MDEC?▾
MDEC (Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation) oversees the Malaysia Digital initiative (formerly MSC Malaysia), providing tax incentives and support for digital businesses including 10-year tax holidays for qualifying companies.
How do I search for a company in Malaysia by name?▾
Use the available lookup or the linked official SSM service. Start with the legal name, then compare the exact SSM number and available identity fields. Name matches are candidates; source coverage and partial-name support vary.
Is the Malaysia company register free to search?▾
Basic company lookup is free on LemReveal. The official Malaysia register has independent access rules and may require an account or charge for searches, extracts or particular documents. Check the source's current terms.
Can I search Malaysia companies by registration number?▾
Where the source supports it, use the exact SSM number together with its register or jurisdiction. Preserve prefixes and leading zeros and compare the returned legal name. A number alone does not guarantee coverage or a successful lookup.
How do I check whether a company is registered in Malaysia?▾
Search the exact SSM number or legal name above, then confirm the entity's identifier and source. An empty result can reflect coverage limits, a source outage, spelling or a different jurisdiction; it does not prove the business is unregistered. A fuzzy candidate is not a confirmed identity.
How can I tell if a Malaysia company is still active?▾
Read the status and effective date where the SSM supplies them. Active registration does not establish trading or financial health. Monitoring is available only for supported sources and confirmed records; verify the actual watch state.
How do I find a company's SSM number?▾
Identify the legal entity using the available lookup or official SSM route. Record the SSM only where supplied, with its source and jurisdiction. Do not infer missing identifiers from a similar name.
