This guide is not a sales pitch. It is an honest look at the standard fees in the industry so you can make an informed decision—because in corporate law, there are truly no shortcuts to success.

1. You Are Paying for a Professional License

In Malaysia, a CoSec must be licensed. There are 7 types of recognized professional licenses (such as MACS, LS, or MIA). You aren’t just paying for paperwork; you are paying for a licensed professional to take legal responsibility for your company’s compliance.

Our team at Malaya Corporate includes 4 qualified professionals. Our secretarial department is led by:

• Azizam: A MACS member and former LS license holder.

• Edmund: LS license holder.

2. Specialized in Foreign-Owned Companies

We don’t claim to be the “best” firm for everyone. However, we have a very specific strength: Managing companies owned by foreigners.

Setting up a business as a non-Malaysian involves complex regulations, different shareholding structures, and specific compliance needs. Because we handle a high volume of international clients, we understand the unique challenges foreigners face when doing business in Malaysia. We ensure your company stays 100% compliant with SSM and Malaysian law.

3. Why External CoSec is the Logical Choice

A CoSec with 10 years of experience usually earns a salary of RM10,000 or more.

If you are an SME, you likely don’t have enough meetings or secretarial work to justify a full-time hire. By using an External CoSec, you get the expertise of a “10k-salary professional” for a small monthly fee. It is the most cost-effective way to protect your license.

4. Our Philosophy: Quality Over Quantity

When we started 10 years ago, we offered very low prices to grow. But experience taught us a lesson: Quality is more important than Quantity.

If we have 1,000 clients, it means we must be ready to solve 1,000 different corporate problems. To ensure we have the time and resources to look after you properly, we set our secretarial fee at RM100.

We aren’t trying to be the “cheapest” in the market. We want to be the firm that answers your calls, solves your problems, and keeps your company safe.

5. Transparency via Our Customer Portal

To make your life easier, we invested in technology. Every client gets access to our Customer Portal.

• No more searching through old emails for your Form 9 or Superform.

• Monitor your company status and documents in one secure place, 24/7.

• Get a clear bird’s-eye view of your business compliance.

The Bottom Line

There is no fixed price in the market, but there is a “price for peace of mind.”
Choosing a CoSec based only on the lowest price can lead to slow service or expensive compounds from SSM later on.

We offer a decade of experience, a specialized focus on international business, and a tech-driven approach to keep your company running smoothly.
