Do I need to hold an AGM?
No. Under the Companies Act 2016, a Sdn Bhd doesn't need an annual general meeting unless its constitution says so. Most decisions can be made by written resolution.
My company isn't trading yet. Do I still need to file?
Yes. A dormant company still files its annual return and financial statements every year.
What if I miss a deadline?
SSM charges late fees, and can issue compounds to the company and its directors. Repeated failures can lead to the company being struck off. A company secretary who tracks your due dates is the easiest way to avoid this.
How we help
As your company secretary, we file your annual return, lodge changes with SSM, keep your registers and minutes, and track every SSM due date for you.
