We'll help you surf the wave of the new
digital economy in South Asia, to grow
your business locally and regionally
Malaysia's dynamic economy, driven by market-friendly policies, aims for developed nation status. Its role as a regional services hub, highlighted by the Digital Free Trade Zone, shows a strong commitment to the digital economy.
Labuan International Business and Financial Center (IBFC) is a thriving mid-shore jurisdiction ideal for business expansion, offering a preferential tax regime, minimal foreign exchange controls, and no capital gains or withholding taxes.
Whether you're considering Malaysia or Labuan IBFC in particular, our dedicated teams will help you leverage the benefits of both jurisdictions.
In addition to incorporation and compliance services, we offer advice on the most suitable vehicles for wealth planning, aiming to optimize and safeguard your family's assets for future generations.
The offices are regulated by the Labuan Financial Service Authority (LFSA) in Labuan and The Companies Commission of Malaysia (SSM) in Kuala Lumpur.
Malaysia offers a competitive business environment with robust infrastructure and low costs. The government provides incentives, but to ensure compliance you'll have to deal with multiple agencies, have a resident director and a registered office. Labuan IBFC has its own set of regulations and allows for flexible company structures. Whichever market you choose, our experts will ensure compliance and tailor structures to your needs.
What we do:
Once incorporated, you'll need to meet specific statutory obligations for each market. For instance, in Malaysia, companies must appoint a citizen or permanent resident as company secretary, while in Labuan, you would need to appoint a Labuan Trust Company for secretarial matters and maintain a registered office. Alpadis will provide company secretary services in both locations to ensure compliance and smooth operations for your business.
