Corporate Service Providers in Malaysia: 8 Ranked on 6 Checks (2026)<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Every Malaysian Sdn Bhd needs a qualified company secretary within 30 days and a director who lives in Malaysia, and most also need accounting and tax filing. This guide ranks 8 independent corporate service providers on 6 checks you can verify, from SSM registration to Employment Pass support. VIVOS publishes it and meets all six.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Written by the VIVOS Malaysia team (VIVOS (M) Sdn. Bhd., Registration No. 202501057568). VIVOS publishes this guide and lists itself first. Other providers are ordered by the number of checks they meet, then A\u2013Z, using their own websites and official sources checked on 21 October 2026. No provider paid to be included, and prices and service quality were not compared. This is a shortlist of independent providers, not a full market review.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
Rule<\/th>What it means<\/th><\/tr>
Company secretary<\/td>Appoint at least one qualified company secretary within 30 days of incorporation (Companies Act 2016, s236). They must hold an SSM licence or belong to a prescribed body such as MAICSA or MIA (s235(2)).<\/td><\/tr>
Resident director<\/td>At least one director must ordinarily reside in Malaysia, with a principal place of residence there (s196(4)).<\/td><\/tr>
Directors<\/td>Every director must be a natural person aged at least 18 (s196(2)).<\/td><\/tr>
Share capital<\/td>No fixed minimum to incorporate: a company limited by shares needs one or more shares.<\/td><\/tr>
Where you file<\/td>Company lodgements go through SSM\u2019s Corporate Registry System (CRS), which replaced MyCoID and e-Secretary from 14 July 2026.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

How we ranked these providers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We set six pass\/fail checks that matter when choosing a corporate service provider for a Sdn Bhd, and applied them to every firm, VIVOS included. A check is met only when the firm\u2019s own website shows it. Otherwise we record \u2018not stated on its website\u2019, which is not the same as \u2018not offered\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

VIVOS is listed first because it publishes this guide; it is also the only firm here that meets all six checks. Other firms are ordered by checks met, then A\u2013Z. We did not compare prices or service quality, and no firm paid to appear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. SSM registration number published<\/strong><\/td>Lets you confirm the firm on SSM\u2019s register before you engage it.<\/td>Search the number on SSM e-Info<\/a>.<\/td><\/tr>
2. Licensed or qualified company secretary in-house<\/strong><\/td>The secretary is a statutory officer of your company and handles every SSM lodgement.<\/td>Ask for the secretary\u2019s SSM practising certificate or MAICSA\/MIA membership.<\/td><\/tr>
