Our profound understanding of each sector allows us to craft tailored solutions that not only meet regulatory requirements but also drive efficiency, scalability, and long-term success.

Leverage our industry insight to get your business license right the first time. With smart foresight and trusted guidance, you can launch, operate, and grow with precision from day one.

Pre Application Analysis
We begin with forensic inquiry. Our team conducts a sector-specific diagnostic to assess licensing viability, incentive eligibility, and regulatory fit. We surface hidden risks, identify strategic levers, and map the optimal licensing route based on your business model, ownership structure, and operational footprint.
Meeting Requirements
We translate policy into execution. From equity thresholds to paid-up capital, local participation, and premise conditions, we decode the fine print and align your setup accordingly. Whether you're navigating WRT licensing, Malaysia Digital status, or manufacturing approvals, we ensure every requirement is met with precision and strategic intent.
Simplified & Detailed Checklists
We deliver dual-format checklists: simplified for decision- makers, detailed for execution teams. These aren’t generic templates—they’re tailored to your license type, sector, and incentive pathway. Each checklist is engineered to reduce friction, accelerate readiness, and ensure no regulatory nuance is missed. Think of it as your operational blueprint.
Application, Ongoing Compliance & Renewal
We manage the full lifecycle—from submission to post- approval compliance and renewal strategy. Our team liaises directly with licensing bodies, preempts bottlenecks, and ensures your documentation is not just complete but strategically framed. We also build renewal calendars and compliance trackers to keep you ahead of deadlines and policy shifts.

Visa & Immigration

From structuring business setups to navigating complex licensing frameworks, immigration policies, and workforce solutions, our insights ensure that clients move seamlessly through Malaysia’s dynamic markets and ecosystem.

When you’re ready to expand across borders and send your talents into Malaysia, paperwork shouldn’t hold you back. We clear the path while you focus on growth.

ESD Employer Account
We work with our clients to understand their business and recommend the appropriate Malaysian immigration authority to be registered with. Each immigration authority has slightly differing criteria for applying. Our advisory will depend largely on the information shared by our clients.
Employment Pass
We work with our clients’ Human Resource personnel and expatriate/ international assignees on the documents and information needed to file a work permit application in Malaysia. In some assignments, we also work hand-in- hand with the Home Country personnel to ensure all documentation is in order and that the application is filed in a timely manner. Not to mention, advising on possible compliance issue, potential roadblocks and/or delays.
Short Term Pass
There is only a couple of short term passes available in Malaysia. Namely, these Passes are for visiting professionals, volunteers, international interns, conference/ seminar attendees as well as speakers, researchers, visiting academic professors, athletes, artists and others. We work with film production houses, event/ concert organisers, companies and alike to file applications to the relevant agencies as well as the immigration authority.
Dependent Pass
Migrating to a different country is a big step and it is no easy matter too. We help our expatriates’ families in their dependent visa applications with the aim to ease them significantly so that they can concentrate on other important matters such as finding the right accommodation and schooling for children in the host country.

Employer of Record (EOR)

Hire globally without the overhead. Our EOR solutions let you onboard fast, stay compliant, and cut costs—so your team can grow, without borders or bottlenecks.
Onboarding
We don’t just onboard—we operationalize. From contract localization to EPF/SOCSO registration and visa coordination, we ensure every hire is compliant, protected, and positioned for productivity from day one. Our onboarding flows are built for speed, accuracy, and sector-specific alignment—whether you're hiring tech talent or scaling a manufacturing crew.
Monthly Payroll Processing
Precision meets accountability. We handle monthly payroll with full statutory compliance—EPF, SOCSO, EIS, PCB, and more—while integrating sector-specific allowances, incentive structures, and performance-linked variables. Our payroll systems are audit-ready, scalable, and built to withstand scrutiny from both regulators and investors.
Tax Advisory
We go beyond payroll mechanics to deliver strategic tax positioning. From personal tax optimization for foreign hires to employer-level advisory on incentive-linked deductions, we decode Malaysia’s tax landscape and align it with your business model. Our guidance is proactive, not reactive—designed to unlock value, not just avoid penalties.
Offboarding
We manage exits with the same rigor as entries. From final settlements and tax clearance to regulatory notifications and visa cancellations, we ensure every departure is clean, compliant, and reputationally sound. Our offboarding protocols protect both the employer and the employee—minimizing risk, preserving goodwill, and closing the loop with precision.
Transition to Direct Employer Status
When you're ready to internalize operations, we help you set up your own employer account—EPF, SOCSO, EIS, LHDN, and more—without disrupting payroll, benefits, or immigration status. We coordinate the full transfer of employees from EOR to direct hire
