Registering a Facilities Management Company in Malaysia
Registering a facilities management company in Malaysia doesn't involve a single process. Here's a breakdown of the key steps:
Company Registration:
Business Structure: Choose a business structure like a Sdn Bhd (limited liability company).
Company Name Check: Ensure your company name is available through the Companies Commission of Malaysia (CCM).
Company Registration: Register your company online through CCM's MyCoID system. This involves submitting company information, director details, and statutory documents.
Professional Accreditation (Optional):
While not mandatory, consider accreditation for your company directors or technical personnel with the Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB). This enhances credibility, especially for F01 (Building) and F02 (Infrastructure) facility management specializations. Check CIDB's website for details on the "Pentauliahan Pengurus Pengurusan Fasiliti (FMM)" program https://www.cidb.gov.my/eng/certified-facility-management-manager-fmm/.
Professional Membership (Optional):
The Malaysian Institute of Property and Facilities Management (MIPFM) offers membership to qualified professionals. While not essential, it demonstrates commitment to the industry and provides access to resources and networking opportunities http://mipfm.org.my/.
Additional Considerations:
Business License: Depending on your specific services, you might need additional business licenses. Research requirements based on your location and offered services.
Professional Indemnity Insurance: Consider professional indemnity insurance to protect your company from liabilities arising from professional negligence.
