SS CORPORATE RESOURCES / MALAYSIA
A company formed. A foundation maintained.
Your business changes. Its corporate records need to keep up. We connect incorporation, company administration and board support so you can see what needs attention at each stage.

Company Secretarial Services
Good governance starts with organised records.
Start with the right information
Bring your proposed activities, ownership and director arrangements together before incorporation. We help organise the information needed for the setup process.
Keep company changes connected
A new director, an ownership change or a change of address can affect more than one record. Discuss the event with us so the relevant documents and filing steps can be identified.
Make decisions easier to follow
Clear resolutions and organised corporate records help directors and shareholders understand what was decided and what happens next.
Plan beyond incorporation
Ongoing maintenance deserves its own calendar. We help coordinate annual administration and records rather than treating incorporation as the end of the process.

HOW WE WORK TOGETHER
A clearer way forward.
STEP 01 / 04
Understand your company
Tell us whether you are incorporating, changing secretaries or handling a corporate change. We review the current position and agree the scope.
THE MALAYSIA CONTEXT
Worth knowing from the start.
First secretary
SSM states that a company secretary must be appointed within 30 days after incorporation.
Annual return
For a local company, the annual return is due within 30 days of its incorporation anniversary. Financial statements follow a separate submission process.
Reviewed 18 September 2026. General guidance; confirm applicable requirements for your activities with the relevant authority.
BEFORE OUR FIRST CONVERSATION
A little preparation. A better conversation.
You do not need every document to start. Tell us what is available and what is unclear. Share identity documents and other sensitive records only once a suitable channel is agreed.
Start a conversation- Proposed company name and business activities
- Director and shareholder details
- Existing company profile and records, if applicable
- The change or deadline you need help with
A LITTLE MORE CLARITY
Your service questions, answered.
Start with the common questions, then talk through the details that matter to your company.
Talk through your needs01Can you support an existing company?
Yes. Share your company profile, current secretarial arrangements and the matters needing attention. We can discuss a handover and the records required before agreeing the engagement.
02Is an annual return the same as financial statements?
No. The annual return updates company information; financial statements report financial performance and position. Their submission requirements are separate, so the company should track both.
03What if our directors or shareholders change?
Tell us about the proposed change before acting where possible. The documents, approvals and notifications depend on the event and company circumstances.
04Does incorporation cover all operating requirements?
No. Incorporation establishes the company. Industry licences, tax arrangements, staffing and other operating requirements need to be considered separately.
