Nominee Director Services

A resident nominee director to satisfy the Companies Act 2016 — non-executive, fully documented, ownership stays yours.

The appointment is backed by proper legal documentation and KYC, and your beneficial ownership and day-to-day control remain entirely with you.

  • Letter of appointment setting out the non-executive, limited scope of the role
  • Deed of indemnity protecting both the nominee and the company
  • Nominee director declaration and disclosure of the nominee arrangement
  • KYC and due diligence on the company, shareholders, and beneficial owners
  • SSM Form 49 / director particulars lodgement and register updates
  • Confirmation that the nominee holds no signing or banking authority by default
  • Annual review and orderly resignation or replacement when no longer required

FAQ

The Companies Act 2016 requires every private company to have at least one director who ordinarily resides in Malaysia. Foreign-owned companies and foreigners without a local resident director use a nominee to meet this requirement. It is a compliance function, not a change of ownership.
