All Malaysian companies must pay great attention!

Ensuring rigorous compliance with the requirements of Section 30 of the Companies Act 2016, which states that your company’s name and registration details must be shown in the appropriate way, rests with the Suruhanjaya Syarikat Malaysia (SSM). Ignoring these could lead to monetary fines.

What More Should You Show?

On the following: the business location and registered office, business correspondence, official notices, invoices, electronic communications (such as emails and websites), and all official publications, including brochures, contracts, and reports, you must clearly show your company’s full name and registration number, including the new 12-digit number.

Correct format:

A Sdn. Bhd. 23456789012 (123456-A)

Should it be relevant, the 12-digit number in its updated format has to appear next to the prior registration number.

Given the need of conformance, showing your company’s complete name and registration number helps to prevent legal action or fines from SSM, guarantees openness and legitimacy for authorities, consumers, and suppliers, and maintains high standards of corporate governance.

Your Company’s Action Plan:

1. Look into all potential digital and physical resources, including letterheads, websites, and signage.

2. Update any lacking or incomplete corporate information.

Staff personnel in charge of the documentation should be educated to include both figures.
