Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common questions about incorporating and running your Malaysian business digitally with Zepheus.

How do I communicate with the Zepheus Secretarial Team if I have urgent daily questions?
You are assigned a dedicated WhatsApp group connecting you directly with your licensed company secretary and compliance specialists. We maintain a strict 24-hour same-day response policy, along with direct phone calls, email, and virtual or in-person 1-to-1 consultations.
Can I sign company secretarial documents and board resolutions on my phone?
Yes. We use secure digital signature workflows so you and your co-directors can review and legally sign board resolutions, AGM minutes, and statutory papers anywhere without physical printing or postage.
What happens if our past company secretary made mistakes or left our SSM records incomplete?
During our 3-day switching onboarding, we conduct a full compliance health check on all retrieved records. If there are missing registers or outdated filings, we reconstruct the paperwork and update SSM directly to bring your company back into clean legal standing.
Can you help appeal and reduce SSM compound fines if we missed filing deadlines before?
Yes. If your company or directors were hit with late filing penalties, our team prepares formal appeal letters and liaises with SSM officers to reduce compound fees by up to 80% to 95%, depending on the case facts and current SSM policy.
When do business partners really need a customized Company Constitution or Shareholders' Agreement?
As soon as a business has more than one founder or takes in an investor. It establishes clear exit terms, rules for selling shares, decision-making powers, and safeguards against future boardroom disagreements.
Do I need to visit bank branches myself to open a corporate bank account or update signers?
By engaging Zepheus, you get our exclusive value-added service where we coordinate doorstep service directly with bankers and financial service partners. Bankers come to your office or our meeting rooms to witness signatures, saving you the hassle of queuing at branches.
How do you help when business partners or shareholders have a major disagreement?
We act as an objective, professional mediator to facilitate communication between disputing partners. We review your company constitution, share structure, and statutory rights to propose practical resolution pathways, helping founders reach an amicable agreement without entering expensive court litigation.
How does Zepheus help if I want to purchase an existing or ready-made shelf company?
Buying an existing shelf company carries hidden risks like undisclosed debts, tax liabilities, or compliance gaps. Zepheus conducts thorough screening analysis and corporate risk management checks—verifying SSM status, checking CTOS/CCRIS records, and ensuring clean statutory history—so you never buy the wrong company.
How do we add a new investor or transfer company shares to a new partner?
You agree on the commercial terms, and our secretarial team handles the entire execution: preparing board approval resolutions, drafting share transfer instruments, managing LHDN stamping, issuing new share certificates, and updating SSM records.
How do you bill for extra secretarial tasks outside the standard monthly retainer?
We operate on total transparency. Your routine monthly retainer covers ongoing compliance, registered office hosting, and annual MBRS filings. For any non-routine work (such as share transfers, adding directors, or constitution amendments), we always explain the scope, provide an itemized quote, and get your explicit consent before proceeding. You will never receive unexpected or unauthorized charges.
Proactive Statutory Care

Never Worry About SSM Deadlines or Compound Penalties Again.

Stop settling for passive clerks who only file when reminded. Partner with dedicated secretarial advisors who actively monitor your Annual Returns, BO registers, board minutes, and regulatory filings.

Licensed corporate secretarial, cloud accounting, and cross-border advisory firm. We empower Malaysian enterprises and foreign investors with high-standard statutory compliance, transparent fees, and guaranteed 24-hour response.
