Hello,

I'm 22 and i stay in Malaysia since january for kind of long hollidays and want to start a business here (selling t-shirts and clothes by internet)

So i'm looking for informations about laws and this kind of stuff, how to start a compagny, get a visa, etc. What kind of business can I start ? I think i can't start a sole business as a foreigner but I have a malaysian friend who want to start the business with me so what about a partership ? I heard about a 250K RM thing for foreigners and i'm a bit scared, so how it's works for a partership with 1 malaysian and 1 foreigner ?

Thanks in advances

Hello,

I would like to bring to attention the recent move by the government specifically WRT Wholesale & Retail Trade Committee to increase the minimum paid up capital requirement to RM 1.0Million for foreigners looking to setup retail outlets likes; restaurant, store, bakery, etc and apply for a work permit/visa. I feel this move shall prohibit various small investors from overseas looking to invest in Malaysia.

Can anyone share some thoughts, reasons, and opinions on this. I'm from Future Track Consulting in Pakistan, we facilitate Pakistani businessmen, investors and affluent individuals setup investments, businesses and second homes in Malaysia through our network of Malaysian consultants and authorized agents.

Hi,

You should expect the rules to be tightened up. Cost of doing business has gone up and for retail and wholesale business an investment of RM1m is normal especially in the cities where rental are expensive. So paid up of RM1m is to be expected.

However, there is an alternative. Please read my entire posting at http://www.alloexpat.com/malaysia_expat_forum/how-to-apply-for-expatriate-employment-under-labuan-ibfc-t21771.html

If you think you clients can benefit from this please contact me at lctrust@tm.net.my
I have Pakistani clients coming under this also.

Regards,

Ahmad
