Understanding SSM and Its Portals
The Companies Commission of Malaysia, known as Suruhanjaya Syarikat Malaysia (SSM), is the regulatory body overseeing business registrations in Malaysia. On April 17, 2023, SSM launched version 2.0 of its SSM4U portal, marking a significant upgrade to its online services.
SSM4U is an integrated online platform that allows users to access various SSM services including EzBiz, MyCoID, MyLLP, MBRS, and DCTC Reader & Checker.
It’s important to note that the main SSM site (https://www.ssm.com.my/) is not where you register an SSM account, log in or register a business. All of that is done on the respective portals.
While SSM4U streamlines online services, the registration process can still be complex. Check out our detailed guide on “Registration of Company in Malaysia” to understand exactly what is needed for your successful company incorporation.
Difference Between SSM4U 2.0, EzBiz SSM, MyCoID, and MyLLP
SSM offers differnt portals for online business registration, each focused on a specific type of business structure:
- SSM4U 2.0: The latest and recommended portal for all types of business registrations and SSM login.
- EzBiz SSM (also known as EzBiz Online): This is for registering sole proprietorships and partnerships.
- MyCoID: This is for registering company registrations (Sdn Bhd, Berhad).
- MyLLP: This is for registering Limited Liability Partnership.
While you can create an account on most of these portals, we recommend going with an SSM4U 2.0 account. As once you have created an account on SSM4U 2.0 you will be given access to EzBiz, MyCoID, MyLLP, MBRS, and DCTC Reader & Checker.
