TIPS FOR CHOOSING YOUR COMPANY NAME

Selection of company name is very important because it will represent your business. In the beginning of our incorporation. we chose “Velvet Corporate Resorces” as our name.  However,  the word “Velvet”  made people think we were running a bakery business  because the name reminded people to Red Velvet Cake. Therefore we decided to change the name and now we are known as Malaya Corporate Group Sdn Bhd.

So, please choose your Company name wisely.
