Frequently Asked Questions

A SDN BHD (Sendirian Berhad) is a private limited company in Malaysia, known for its limited liability structure. Unlike sole proprietorships or partnerships, the liability of shareholders in an SDN BHD is limited to their share capital, meaning personal assets are protected if the business faces financial trouble. SDN BHDs also enjoy better credibility and are often preferred for larger business opportunities compared to other setups like sole proprietorships.

Incorporating an SDN BHD in Malaysia typically takes 1–3 working days once all required documents are submitted. The process includes reserving a company name, preparing incorporation documents, and registering with the Companies Commission of Malaysia (SSM). However, the timeline might vary depending on how quickly supporting documents are provided and approved.

Yes, foreigners can incorporate an SDN BHD in Malaysia, but some industries may have equity or ownership restrictions.

Yes, the proposed name for an SDN BHD must comply with SSM guidelines. It should not be identical to an existing company, misleading, or include prohibited words (like those implying government affiliation).

Running an SDN BHD involves several statutory responsibilities, including maintaining proper accounting records, filing annual returns with the SSM, and preparing audited financial statements. Directors are also required to comply with tax regulations and hold annual general meetings (AGMs) to update shareholders about the company’s performance.
