The Company Secretary

“A company secretary is there to see to all the legal formalities of your company so you can focus on your businesses.”

Every company in Malaysia is required by the Companies Act 1965 to have at least one qualified Company Secretary. A Company Secretary is a professional whose role in a company is that of an advisor for legal matters and he/she is a very important member of the company's management to handle all official paperwork, statutory documents and procedural matters in the running of the company as required by the Companies Act and all other applicable laws.

Most small & medium enterprises (SMEs) engage the services of an external Company Secretary from a professional secretarial firm so as to enjoy cost savings and at the same time, to maximise the expertise offered by the experienced Company Secretary.

If you want to incorporate a private limited company in Malaysia, the Company Secretary will be the right person to assist you.

Before you begin the incorporation process, you will need to choose a name for your company. Once the name has been approved, the Company Secretary will assist you to draft out the company’s memorandum and articles of association and to prepare the other pre-incorporation documents and forms.

If it is your intention to take over a business, the Company Secretary will play an instrumental role in preparing the necessary for the change of the target company’s ownership and to offer related legal advice on the process.

During the course of your company’s business, the Company Secretary will also be assisting in the preparation and submission of statutory returns of the Company as required by the Companies Act 1965, arranging for the company’s board and general meetings and the preparation of the minutes of meetings. The Company Secretary will assist to prepare resolutions in accordance to the powers given under the provisions of the Memorandum & Articles of Association, give advice on Company Secretarial matters and to perform other related secretarial duties as may be required from time to time.

In short, a Company Secretary is there to see to all the legal formalities of your company so you can focus on your business.
