Types of Business Entities in Malaysia

Before registering a company, entrepreneurs must choose the appropriate business structure. Each structure has different legal and financial implications.

Private Limited Company (Sdn Bhd)

The most common business structure in Malaysia is the Sendirian Berhad (Sdn Bhd).

This structure offers several advantages:

limited liability protection for shareholders
ability to raise investment capital
credibility with customers and financial institutions

Most SMEs and startups operate as private limited companies.

Sole Proprietorship

A sole proprietorship is a simple business structure owned by one individual. While it is easy to establish, the owner remains personally liable for the business's debts and obligations.

Freelancers or small traders often use this structure.

Partnership

A partnership involves two or more individuals operating a business together.

Partners share profits, responsibilities, and liabilities.

Foreign Company Branch

Foreign companies can establish branch offices in Malaysia to conduct business operations.

Branch offices operate as extensions of the parent company.

Representative Office

A representative office allows foreign companies to conduct market research and promotional activities in Malaysia but cannot engage in direct commercial activities.
