The Real Risk

Stop paying for passive compliance.

The Problem

Most SME owners only discover their company secretary is passive at the worst possible moment—usually when an SSM penalty notice arrives, or when a bank requests statutory records that turn out to be years out of date.

The Risk

This role isn't administrative box-ticking. Your company secretary is legally responsible for keeping your business in good standing. When deadlines are missed, the consequences land on you personally—resulting in heavy financial penalties or even director disqualification.

The Solution

We handle the mandatory filings, maintain your registers accurately, and give you clear warnings long before deadlines hit. No surprises. No late fees.

Seamless Transition

Switching to us takes 3 easy steps.

Changing your company secretary is much easier than most directors assume. You do not need your current secretary's cooperation or permission to make the switch.

  1. 1

    You Authorize Us

    Sign our engagement letter and a simple board resolution appointing us as your new secretary.

  2. 2

    We Handle the Handover

    We issue the mandatory statutory notice to your outgoing secretary and collect your statutory records directly.

  3. 3

    We Audit Your Records

    We lodge the change with SSM, audit your files, and flag any hidden unfiled returns or penalties left behind.

The Handover Audit

Incoming secretaries who skip the audit silently inherit the old secretary's mistakes, leaving you exposed.

If we find unfiled returns or accumulated penalties during the handover, we give you a clear picture of your exposure and a quote to fix it. You are under no obligation to use us for the remediation.

Who this isn't for

We value transparency. Our service is not a fit for everyone.

  • Sole proprietorships & Enterprises: You do not legally require a company secretary. Don't let anyone sell you one.
  • Companies just wanting a name on a form: If you only want the bare legal minimum and no governance support, there are cheaper providers. We would be poor value.
  • Directors hiding major SSM defaults: We will help you regularise your standing, but we will not sign off on statutory records we know to be incomplete or falsified.

Common Questions

Company Secretarial FAQs

Is a company secretary legally required in Malaysia?

Yes. Every company incorporated under the Companies Act 2016 must appoint a licensed company secretary within 30 days of incorporation. Operating without one exposes the company and its directors to severe penalties.

Can I change company secretary without the current one agreeing?

Yes. The board has the absolute right to resolve to remove and replace the secretary. Your outgoing secretary is legally obliged to hand over the statutory records. We manage this entire friction point for you.

What happens if my annual return is already late?

Penalties accrue over time, and your company's SSM status will be marked negatively—which triggers red flags for banks, landlords, and investors. Prolonged default can result in the company being forcibly struck off. If you're late, tell us. We've dealt with worse and can help regularise your standing.

Can I act as my own company secretary?

Only if you hold the required licence issued by SSM, or if you are a member of a prescribed professional body (like MAICSA). Standard directors cannot act as their own company secretary.

Do you provide a registered office address?

Yes. A registered office address is included in all our retainer plans. This is where your official statutory notices are served, and it must be a physical address capable of receiving official mail during business hours.
