In Malaysia, the formalities for establishing a corporation are not very onerous. You can register your firm here even if it is wholly owned by foreigners. In Malaysia, a firm with 100% foreign ownership is known as a Sendirian Berhad company. The Malaysian government has designated a number of specialized industries as being exclusively for foreign ownership.

A foreigner can create a business in Malaysia by combining with a local company or registering with the Malaysian Companies Commission.
