Step-by-step

Know which register holds the record
In Malaysia, company records sit on SSM (Companies Commission of Malaysia). Trade directories and aggregator sites are copies — the register is the source of truth.

Search by name or registration number
A registration number returns exactly one entity. A name may return several, especially for groups using the same brand across entities.
- 3
Read the register entry, not the marketing page
The register entry shows Company number, Company name, Type, Status. That is what a bank, auditor or counterparty will check.

Keep a dated copy
Register entries change. Save the record with the date you retrieved it, or set up monitoring so you are told when the entry changes.
