The first step of the new company registration is the lodgement of name search application to Suruhanjaya Syarikat Malaysia (SSM Malaysia) for SSM’s approval of using the desired name in your new company.

After all the above analysis & surveys, you may have made up your mind on your new company’s name. Just let us know & we will submit the name search application to SSM for approval of use of your ideal name in the registration of new company.

Upon approval of name by SSM, the approved company name will be reserved for you for a period of three (3) months. The duly executed registration documents are therefore required to be submitted to SSM within the 3-month period to get your company registered with SSM.

Failing to submit the registration documents to SSM within the 3 months period, such approved name will then be opened to public for reservation.

How long does SSM take to approve the name application?

SSM shall approve or disapprove the name search application within 1-2 working days.

All name search applications are subject to final decision from the SSM officer.

NBC do not warrant or guarantee the result of the name search application with SSM as NBC do not have any influence over the decision made by the SSM officer.

Why does SSM not approve the name search application?

SSM will normally reject the application of new company name based on the following reasons:

Proposed company’s name is similar to those existing one and may cause confusion to the public.
Proposed company’s name is similar with the former name of existing company and may create undesirable confusion to the Public members.
Proposed company’s name is prohibited by the Companies Act 1965 or any other relevant Acts.
Proposed company’s name is undesired for use as company name, for example, Ekor Ayam Sdn Bhd.

Actual Name Search Applications rejected by SSM Malaysia

What can we do if the proposed company’s name is strongly needed for the new business?

We shall appeal in writing to SSM to substantiate reasons why SSM should approve the use of name. However, it is still subject to the final decision by SSM.
