Business services in Malaysia: what the work costs

Updated 4 November 2026

Business services in Malaysia cost very different amounts. A yearly company secretary package starts at about RM 600, consulting is often quoted at RM 150 to RM 800 an hour, and business licence fees range from about RM 300 to RM 5,000 or more. The quickest way to get a price for your exact need is to describe it in a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Registration and licences

The SSM fee table lists a yearly business renewal of RM 60 for a trade name and RM 30 for a personal name, and each branch adds RM 5 a year. A business premises licence fee depends on the type of business and, for some businesses, on the floor area of the premises in square metres. A sole proprietor and a Sdn Bhd file different papers, so say which one you are when you ask for a price.

Season and timing

Malaysia is tropical and has no winter, so the climate does not change how these services are done. Filings and renewals follow their own deadlines rather than the weather. Start early if you need a licence before a new venture opens, because the fee depends on the business type and the floor area, which must be confirmed first.

How business services are bought here

Packages are usually quoted per year or per month, while consultants quote per hour. A one-off incorporation package was listed at RM 4,000 to RM 5,000. Prices differ between Kuala Lumpur, George Town, Johor Bahru, Ipoh and Shah Alam, so say your city. Ask whether a package includes the government fees or only the service.

What to write in your request

Name the service you need, such as accounting, a website, IT support, translation or insurance, and whether it is for a sole proprietor or a Sdn Bhd. Add your number of employees, your city, the number of transactions or pages a month if it is about books, and your monthly budget in RM. A clear request lets sellers reply with a fixed price instead of a long list of questions.

On BlaBlaPrice you write the request in a chat, and businesses registered here reply with their own offer: price, terms and the first step. Your contacts stay hidden, and you decide with whom to exchange them. Browse accounting services or start on the home page, where the request field is.
