Renew and register your Malaysia business online

Renew and register your Malaysia business online


I never thought this would be possible given the way the Country is managed by the current ruling government, but I must give credit when credit is due. The Government should be complimented for making serious effort to go electronic, although compared to other neighbouring countries, we are not exactly very “ahead”. Sometimes, we just need to stop complaining and appreciate what we already have ;-)

However, as much as the process can be computerised…it doesn’t mean that the result will be pleasing to the end users.

Here’s one of the gems that I found from the navigational nightmare at www.gov.my- Online Business Registration.

I’ll keep it short here so that you can also start using the wonderful online services provided by our Government. It’s really a time-saver!

1. To get started, you must have Internet Explorer. Yes, a stupid but nevertheless an important requirement.

2. Next, you must register as a www.gov.my member to show your patriotism. Click here to register.

3. Once you become a member, you can now choose the type of business you want to register. Click here to see all the business types available.

4. To start entering your business details, you should login here. You would also be required to make a payment of RM 5 for a one year subscription.

5. You can also renew your existing businesses here at this link.

That’s it. It’s going to save you lots of money and trips renewing and managing your businesses with this neat online service provided by our Government. Since we’ve already paid for it (tax), we might as well utitlize it.

  • I have been using the sites whenever I have spare time but nevertheless its still very UN-productive and not for real biz sense yet. But like u said, I was impressed that at least it works ... when u hit the right button and follow the right path, the only path and usually not easily found or very hard to find unless you have 'spare' time at hand.

    I think they need to hire and pay me as a beta user :)
  • I would say that most of these online services, even those built by private corporations has the same motto:

    By programmers for programmers.
  • thank bro, for the information, appreciate, that's why i also come visiting you, keep up the good works, by the way, got any "kan tau" making money ka? hahaha
  • thats right, when the programmers are also 'USERS' then that web site will be perfectly built :) else ....
  • JingKai
    eh.. eh.. then next 2 years, the site will probably be much better than now and i will be able to renew online :P ^_^

    Provided the "maintenance" is good within these coming 5 years :D
  • Haha...Jingkai, some things are beyond our control. Better to focus on building value of Krizalis Studio, you only need the "mainteance" for your initial portfolio, and you would have enough of that in the first 2 years ;-)
  • You what I funnily found out. After I logged in to the website, I tried to see if I can renew my business registration. And not surprisingly, the process stopped at a page which told me to report any errors on the website and bla bla. Then requesting I've to register an account with some other service.

    The problem here is I wasn't given an option to proceed. In this case, register a required account if I wanted to renew my company registration online. Therefore, the government website is still crap because though it might look okay it's not built to do its job. -.-"
  • Danny, that's actually one of the major turn-off. The site structure definitely lacks intuitiveness. The dude who designed the system apparently thought everyone is free enough to click every single link on the site to complete the registratrion process. There's no useful guide in assisting the applicant to complete the registration process from naming the company until they could print their business registration certificate.

    I compliment the government for bringing this service to the people, but I must say that the implementation of this initiative is nothing less than a disaster.
  • Awesome info dude. Thanks!!
  • No problem, Danesh. It definitely saves trips to the SSM office.
  • stephen
    it's awesome, i m headache wif the registration of company.
    This post does help! Thanks a lot men !
  • esky
    how come the site address is invalid???
  • I have no idea, esky...

    As of now, I can't even access the main site at www.gov.my

    Someone's just pulled the plug at the server room?
