What Is It?
An Enterprise registration (Registration of Business, or ROB) lets you trade legally under a business name — either as a sole proprietor (just you) or a partnership (2 or more owners), registered with SSM. It's the simplest and cheapest way to formalise a business in Malaysia.
Simple registration, fast start
Why You Need It
- Trade legally under a business name instead of your personal name.
- Needed to open a business bank account, issue invoices, and register for platforms/marketplaces that require a business registration.
- Fastest and cheapest way to get a Malaysian business legally recognised — often ready within 1 working day.
Worth knowing before you register: as a sole proprietor or partner, you are personally liable for the business's debts — there's no separation between you and the business, unlike a Sdn Bhd. If you expect to take on significant liability, hire staff, or raise investment, Sdn Bhd registration may suit you better.
What You'll Need
- Your preferred business name and the nature of your business.
- Your business address (can be your home address).
- MyKad (IC) front and back, plus a recent proof of address, for you and any partners.
Our online form guides you through everything step by step — most applicants finish in under 10 minutes.
