Opening a sdn bhd Company in Malaysia

Foreign entrepreneurs ask regularly what is the process of opening a sdn bhd company in Malaysia by capital of Ringgit 3000 to 1 million. Nonresidents can open sdn bhd company and can’t proprietorship business as fdi law.

As plan of opening SDN BHD company in Malaysia if the entrepreneur is foreigner is advised to know the process, cost and time line. Discussion with right consultant about business plan is superior idea.

Showing paid up capital initially 1 million or above decision is unnecessarily and useless that is wrongly suggested by some consultant. Genuine businessmen do not scare of employment visa rather focus on business as visa is secondary that will obtain on time.

Main reasons of visa application rejection are doubtful by immigration department as no fruitful business but main intention on visa for the director! Many entrepreneurs do not know that after opening sdn bhd company there are some other licenses require to start business lawfully.

In case of new businessmen is suggested to make a good plan and prepare financial forecasting and share them with bankers to feel comfortable about you opening business account.

Bank account rejection is regular practice as lack of pre-planning by the entrepreneurs. It is suggested to know the whole process from good consultant how to open a company in Malaysia as foreigner and open bank account and apply for employment visa.
