When launching your startup in Malaysia, selecting a suitable company name is pivotal, as it not only shapes your brand's identity but also must comply with the Suruhanjaya Syarikat Malaysia (SSM) guidelines to ensure approval. Here are eight essential naming rules to consider when naming your Sdn Bhd:
Ensure your company name doesn't already exist or hasn't been reserved. Utilize services like MyData for a quick name check or consult with a company secretary to perform a detailed search.
Your company name should not mimic or slightly modify the name of an existing business. This includes using "THE", making plural forms, adjusting spacing or punctuation, or using root words with the same meaning. However, names of dissolved entities might be available (after 7 years for companies and 2 years for LLPs).
Avoid including "Company", "Co", or "Syarikat" as part of your company name, as these are prohibited.
You may use a director's name (if listed on the incorporation form) as your company name. If you wish to use another individual's name, you'll need documented consent and proof of association.
Combining Malay, English, or other languages is acceptable if it accurately represents your business type and adheres to proper grammar rules. Be prepared to explain the meaning behind the name if asked.
Only five symbols are allowed within your company name: &, ., -, (, ). These must be incorporated appropriately into the name.
Choose a name that is not offensive, obscene, or misleading. It should respect community sensibilities and accurately reflect your company's objectives and operations.
Avoid using gazetted or controlled terms (such as bank, university, fund etc) unless you have specific authorization. Obtaining a letter of permission is necessary for using such words in your company name.
Remember, a company name differs from a brand name; under one company name, you can operate multiple brands related to similar business activities. If you're feeling overwhelmed by these guidelines, don't hesitate to reach out. Schedule a call with our team to ensure your company name aligns perfectly with SSM standards and sets a solid foundation for your business identity.
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
