Did you know?
Malaysia's economy has improved at a 5.4 percent annual rate since 2010, and it is expected to transition from an upper middle-income economy to a high-income economy by 2024.
Malaysia has a newly industrialised market economy that is open and state-oriented. Malaysia's economy is strong and diverse, with high-tech exports valued at US$92.1 billion in 2020, the second highest in ASEAN.
An Overview On Incorporating a Company In Malaysia
In Malaysia, creating a business has relatively lax procedures. You can register your business here even if foreigners own it totally. In Malaysia, a firm with 100 percent foreign ownership is known as a Sendirian Berhad company. Selected specialised industries have been classified by the Malaysian government as being only suitable for 100 percent foreign ownership.
By combining with a local company or registering the foreign firm with the Companies Commission of Malaysia, a foreigner can open a business in Malaysia.
