Frequently Asked Questions
What is the SSM company number?
The SSM (Suruhanjaya Syarikat Malaysia) number is the primary identifier for all Malaysian companies. Format: XXXXXXXX-X (8 digits + suffix A, B, D, H, K, M, P, T, U, V, X). Every Malaysian Sdn Bhd and Berhad must have one.
What is Labuan IBFC and why is it a risk?
Labuan is a Malaysian offshore financial centre. Companies registered in Labuan have reduced tax obligations and less transparency. If your supplier says they are "Malaysian" but their entity is registered in Labuan, request additional verification of their operating entity.
