Establishing a Representative Office in Malaysia: A Guide for Foreign Investors | Dezan Shira & Associates

posted 4 years ago

Establishing a representative office (RO) in Malaysia is often the fastest and most cost-effective way to have a legal entity and study the local market before determining viable opportunities. However, the RO is prohibited from earning any revenue and is limited to mainly market research, information gathering, and developing trade contacts in Malaysia.

Malaysia is fast competing with Singapore to attract foreign businesses seeking a strategic location to headquarter their Asian operations.

Establishing a representative office is the fastest way of establishing a legal entity and studying the local market before determining if setting up operations in Malaysia is a viable proposition.
