A signed PDF. Not attached to anything. Not findable when it matters.

2006

the Act that makes an e-signature binding here

An e-signature is a legal claim, not just a click

Four things a click has to carry

IDENTITY

Who signed

Tied to a verified signer — not just whoever had the link.

INTENT

That they meant to

Recorded as an affirmative act, not an auto-filled name on a form.

TIMESTAMP

When

Fixed at the moment of signing, not editable afterwards by anyone, including us.

TRAIL

The proof

Identity, intent and timestamp together are the audit trail — the part that has to hold up if it's ever challenged.

+ recognised under Malaysia's Electronic Commerce Act 2006 for most documents

+ a short list of statutory instruments still require wet ink — flagged before you sign, not after

What 'signed' doesn't mean

What it looks like

Once everyone's signed, you're done.

What's actually true

Signed isn't filed, and filed isn't attached. In a standalone tool the document sits in the tool's inbox — yours to go find again, not the company's record to already hold.

The gap doesn't show up on signing day. It shows up the day someone asks for it back.

Proving it stays your job

If a signature is ever challenged, it's the company that has to produce the record — not whichever tool happened to send the link.

Malaysia's Electronic Commerce Act 2006 sets the conditions for an electronic signature to carry evidentiary weight, and that standard applies wherever you signed — inside OCTIS or anywhere else.

The one question that decides this

Anyone can get a signature onto a PDF. Almost nobody can tell you where it went a year later.

What happens the next time anyone needs it

This month, a standalone signing tool and OCTIS both put a legally-binding signature on the document. The difference shows up the next time anyone has to find it:

A standalone e-signature tool
Captures a legally-binding signature
Notifies every signer
Timestamps the moment of signing
Produces an audit trail
A year later — wherever it was downloaded to, if it was downloaded at all
OCTIS
Captures a legally-binding signature
Notifies every signer
Timestamps the moment of signing
Produces an audit trail
A year later — still on the company record it was signed for

What happens after everyone's signed

1

You send it for signature

from the same account that already holds your directors, filings and licences

2

Everyone signs, in their own time

routing and reminders are automatic — deciding to sign is not. That part stays a person's

3

It attaches to the record it belongs to

the specific director change, the specific filing, the specific licence — not a folder called 'Signed'

4

It's already there next time

at the next annual return, the next renewal, the next time someone asks

A standalone signing tool has nothing to attach a signed document to — it can prove a click happened, but it doesn't run the rest of your company's paperwork, so it has no record to file that click against. Adding that would mean becoming a company-records platform first, not shipping a feature onto a signing tool.

What a seat-based signing tool costs

Per-seat e-signature tools are a real, priced category — DocuSign, Adobe Sign and others charge per user, per month. Here it is not a separate line on your OCTIS bill:

No separate linewhat we chargeno published market rate to compare against

We haven't found one verified Malaysia rate to hold that against, so we're not printing a guess. What we can tell you: it isn't billed separately here.

When switching is even worth it

one document a year, from one signer
board resolutions, renewals, more than a couple of signers

If it's the first, keep whatever you're already using — this isn't worth switching for. If it's the second, the difference is what happens the day someone asks for it back.

One document, followed through

Here's a single resolution, followed from signature to the point it got used again:

SignedBoard resolution appointing a new director, 4 March
FiledAttached to the director's record the same day
Referenced againPulled up automatically when the annual return was prepared
Found inSeconds — not searched for across three email threads eleven months later

One resolution. The value was never the signature — it was that nobody had to go looking for it.

What a separate signing tool would have added

This is what a standalone e-signature subscription typically adds on top of everything else — and what happens to each line inside OCTIS instead:

A per-seat e-signature subscriptioncomes with your OCTIS service — nothing extra to sign up forbilled monthly, on top of your other tools
Re-uploading the signed file into your company recordsfiled straight against the record it belongs toyour time, every time
Finding it again when someone asksalready attached — opened, not searched forhowever long that takes
What e-signature adds to your OCTIS billNo separate line

How we price

From your current bill, 10–30% off

OCTIS prices its secretarial and compliance services from the bill you pay today, in a promotion that runs until 31 Dec 2026. E-signature comes with them.

Market rate

Not published

Seat-based signing tools are a real, priced category. We haven't found one verified Malaysia rate to hold ourselves against, so we're not printing a guess.

One document a year

Probably not worth switching for

This is built for documents that need to stay attached to something. If yours doesn't, the switch isn't worth the cost of making it.

Not covered

  • Genuinely high-volume or API-level signing is quoted separately, priced on its own.
  • A short list of statutory instruments still require wet-ink signature under Malaysian law — those are flagged before you sign, not after.
  • The decision to sign is still a person's, not the system's — automation covers routing, reminders and filing, not judgment.
What is OCTIS?

OCTIS does your accounting and bookkeeping, audit and tax. Licensed accountants check the work, and company secretary services are available on the same account.

Is the lowest price guarantee real? How does it work?

Yes. Send us your current bill. We price based on it — 10–30% off, until 31 Dec 2026.

Is the money-back guarantee real? How does it work?

Yes, on every OCTIS service. Ask in writing within 30 days of paying. Read the Money-Back Guarantee terms

How does OCTIS help me get more done?

One app and one chat instead of a firm for each service. You upload a document once, and you see where every order stands without asking.

How does OCTIS help me cut extra costs?

We automate the whole process, so your company's compliance and the back-and-forth cost less to run. That is why we can charge less and deliver faster. A live company health check in the app also shows where you are spending more than you should, alerts you, and suggests a better option that costs less.

How does OCTIS help me keep risk under control?

Reminders for your company's deadlines, so nothing is missed, and a professional legal team when you need one.

Is everything in OCTIS done by AI?

No. Licensed professionals do the work. AI helps them work faster, and helps you understand and analyse your own company quickly.

You don't want a faster signature. You want to never go looking for one again.

Sign inside the account that already holds the record it belongs to — director changes, filings, licences, all in one place.
