Companies in Malaysia are registered with the Companies Commission of Malaysia, Suruhanjaya Syarikat Malaysia (SSM). SSM sells corporate information through portals run by its appointed service providers: SSM e-Info, MyDATA SSM, SSM Search and SSM SAFEDATA. The company profile shows the company's registration, capital, directors, shareholders, officers and charges, and separate extracts cover the particulars of directors and officers, the shareholder list and copies of filed documents.
Fill Easy returns the SSM company profile and the particulars of directors and officers as PDFs by email or through the API. Malaysia is one of the markets where retrieval is automated, so documents arrive in under 5 minutes, with the source, retrieval time and request ID recorded on each result.
Registry
Suruhanjaya Syarikat Malaysia
Statutory body under the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDN)
SSM registers and regulates companies under the Companies Act 2016, businesses under the Registration of Businesses Act 1956 and limited liability partnerships under the Limited Liability Partnerships Act 2012. It is a statutory body under the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living, formed by the merger of the Office of the Registrar of Companies and the Office of the Registrar of Businesses, and began operating on 16 April 2002.
Corporate information is supplied through portals run by service providers appointed by SSM (SSM e-Info, MyDATA SSM, SSM Search and SSM SAFEDATA), where a company profile and the documents a company has lodged are bought per item at the fees in the schedule to the Companies Regulations 2017 plus the portal's service charge. The profile can be bought in Malay or English and shows directors and shareholders, which makes Malaysia one of the more transparent registers in Southeast Asia. Beneficial ownership information lodged with SSM under the Companies (Amendment) Act 2024 is not part of the public profile.
Company registration number
