FAQs
Nominee Director Services in Malaysia
What is the difference between a nominee director and a managing director?
- A nominee director acts as a statutory requirement to comply with the Companies Act 2016 but has no involvement in the day-to-day operations of the company.
- A managing director oversees the company’s business operations and is actively involved in decision-making and management.
How our nominee director service accelerates your Malaysian company incorporation
We provide this service as a temporary convenience to you as we understand how it might be a hassle to source for a reliable local partner without the proper local connections prior to entering into the Malaysian market.
Will the nominee director be involved in decision-making?
No, the nominee director has no authority to make decisions, sign contracts, or manage the company. Their role is limited to fulfilling statutory obligations.
Is the nominee director’s identity disclosed to the public?

How does the nominee director ensure compliance with Malaysian laws?
The nominee director ensures that all statutory filings, such as annual returns and financial statements, are submitted on time. They work closely with the company secretary to meet regulatory obligations.
Are there any restrictions on appointing a nominee director?
The nominee director must be a Malaysian resident. Additionally, they should not be disqualified under the Companies Act 2016 (e.g., undischarged bankrupts or individuals convicted of offenses related to fraud or dishonesty).
