From name search to SSM filing, handled
We check and reserve your company name, onboard your directors and shareholders online and lodge your Sdn Bhd with SSM for you.
OCTIS • Incorporation
Your company, registered without the form-filling
We run the name search, onboard your directors online and lodge the SSM application, you sign, and your Sdn Bhd is ready to trade.
- Fully online, from name search to SSM filing, no printing and no office visit
- A licensed company secretary reviews every step, so it is right the first time
- Your records on one connected system, with a reminder before each SSM filing date
Why OCTIS
A licensed company secretary reviews every step
Your documents are prepared with AI and checked by a licensed company secretary before they go to SSM. A person is accountable for them, not a machine.
A statutory pack you can take to the bank
Registers, share certificates, your Notice of Registration (Section 17) and the certified documents and board resolution banks ask for, all in your dashboard.
Your company on one connected system
Your records, registers and SSM filing dates sit in your OCTIS dashboard, and a reminder goes out before each date. Add books or tax later and they join the same system.
Change your mind, get your money back
Our 30-day money-back guarantee applies until we lodge your application with SSM. After that the registration fee has been incurred and the process has begun.
A plan that fits everyone
Sole proprietors and online sellers going official
Today every invoice and contract carries your own name. A Sdn Bhd is a separate legal person, so the business can hold its own bank account and sign in its own name.
Co-founders ready to start trading
Every director and shareholder is verified and onboarded online, so nobody has to print forms or sit in the same room to sign.
Owners who live abroad
Everything runs online. A foreign-owned Sdn Bhd can be incorporated, though some structures need extra approvals, and we advise on the right setup for you.

What a Sdn Bhd needs, and what we do about it
1An approved company name
Reserving a name is not the same as being incorporated, and SSM can reject a name. We run the search, reserve the first available name and advise on names likely to be rejected before you apply.
2Directors and shareholders
SSM needs the identities of the directors and shareholders and how the shares are split. We verify and onboard each person online and prepare the consent-to-act documents and first board resolutions for signature. A foreign-owned company can be incorporated, though some structures need extra approvals.
3A company secretary within 30 days
Every Sdn Bhd must appoint a licensed company secretary within 30 days of incorporation. We appoint one for your company, so it is in place from the start.
4A registered address
Every Sdn Bhd must have one. It is public on SSM's register and is where formal documents are delivered. We provide the address and keep your post against the filing it relates to.
5Registers and filings after day one
A company keeps statutory registers, and changes of director, shareholder or address go to SSM within the statutory deadline. We store your registers in your dashboard and remind you before each date.
FAQ
Can I get a refund if I change my mind?
Yes, within limits. New company incorporation is covered by our 30-day money-back guarantee. You can cancel and ask for a refund within 30 days of paying, as long as we have not yet lodged your application with SSM. Once it is lodged, the registration fee has been incurred and the process has begun, so the guarantee no longer applies. The full terms are on our money-back guarantee page.
How long does it take to register a Sdn Bhd?
Usually a matter of days once your name is approved and the directors and shareholders have completed their onboarding. The approval itself sits in SSM's own queue, so we do not promise an exact date. We keep you updated at each stage in your dashboard.
What do I need to give you to get started?
The company names you would like, and the identities of the directors and shareholders with how the shares are split. Each person completes a digital verification online, so nobody needs to print or post anything. If you are unsure about the split or the structure, tell us and we will help you decide.
What does it cost?
Three separate lines, never one bundled number: SSM's own government fee, which SSM charges and is the same whoever you use (we add nothing to it), OCTIS's one-off incorporation fee, and the secretary and platform that keep the company in order afterwards. Message us on WhatsApp for the current figures.
Do I need a company secretary as soon as the company is registered?
Every Sdn Bhd must appoint a licensed company secretary within 30 days of incorporation. We appoint one for your company, so you have nothing separate to arrange.
What is the difference between a business name registration and a Sdn Bhd?
A business name registration only says who is trading under a name. It does not create a separate legal person. A Sdn Bhd does, which is what puts a line between the company's debts and your own, in general. If you are a sole proprietor testing an idea with no paying customers yet, a business name may be enough for now, and we will tell you so.
Can foreigners own a Sdn Bhd?
Yes. A foreign-owned Sdn Bhd can be incorporated, though some structures need additional approvals. Tell us who the owners are and where they live, and we advise on the right setup for your situation.
Can I open a bank account once the company is registered?
You receive the certified documents and board resolution banks ask for, so you can apply for a business account straight away. The bank still makes its own decision on your application.
What happens after my company is registered?
Your licensed company secretary, registered address, statutory registers and e-signature are set up for your company, and a reminder goes out before each SSM filing date. Add accounting or tax when you want, and they join the same system.
