Overview

Why a Malaysia Sdn Bhd?

Malaysia offers a competitive economy, low cost of living, and attractive tax benefits for technology companies through Malaysia Digital status. The Sdn Bhd (Sendirian Berhad) is the most common entity type for foreign entrepreneurs.

Strasia Group handles the entire incorporation of your Malaysia Sdn Bhd — from SSM registration to company secretary to bank account opening. Labuan structures for international holding companies are also available.

Frequently Asked Questions

Malaysia Digital (formerly MSC Malaysia) offers tax benefits and incentives for technology companies, including up to 10 years of tax exemption on qualifying income.

Yes, for most industries 100% foreign ownership of a Sdn Bhd is possible. Certain regulated sectors may have restrictions.
What does incorporation with Strasia cost?
That depends on the structure you choose, banking and ongoing support — a blanket price would not help you.
