Quick Eligibility Check & Intake Form

Complete all five sections below. Mandatory fields are marked *. This information lets us assess your eligibility, check for any structural flags, and prepare an accurate written scope — no back-and-forth required.

A Labuan company is designed for international business activities only. It cannot be used to conduct domestic Malaysian trade or to structure income predominantly sourced from Malaysian residents. Certain answers below will trigger eligibility notes where relevant.

01
About You

Your personal contact details and residency information. This is used for KYC pre-assessment — no documents are required at this stage.

⚠️ Note for Malaysian citizens/residents: A Labuan entity is permissible for Malaysians but it must be used for genuinely international business. Income derived from Malaysian sources will not qualify for the Labuan tax regime. We will review your specific situation during the assessment call.

This is relevant for assessing any home-country tax implications of operating a Labuan entity. We do not provide tax advice — we flag where you should seek it.

02
Business Activity

The nature of your business determines whether a Labuan entity is appropriate, which tax treatment applies, and what economic substance obligations you will have.

Trading companies (3% tax on net profits) conduct active commercial activities. Non-trading (holding) companies hold assets such as shares, real estate, or financial instruments — different rules and permitted activities apply.

The more specific you are, the more accurate our eligibility assessment and written scope will be.

⚠️ Important eligibility note: A Labuan company cannot conduct domestic Malaysian business under the Labuan tax regime. If a significant portion of your revenue will come from Malaysian sources, the 3% tax rate will not apply to that income — and LFSA may reclassify the entity as a Malaysian tax resident subject to 24% corporate tax. We must discuss this before proceeding.
03
Company Structure

Your proposed company naming, capital structure, and operational setup for the Labuan entity.

We reserve the name with LFSA. All names must include "Labuan" or end in "Ltd" / "Sdn Bhd" or similar.

Minimum is USD 1. Some banks prefer to see higher paid-up capital — we advise on this during the scoping call.

04
Directors & Shareholders

Details of who will own and control the Labuan entity. This section directly affects our KYC requirements and any banking readiness assessment.

ℹ️ Corporate shareholder / director: If any principal is a corporate entity, we require the full corporate document pack of that entity (certificate of incorporation, constitutional documents, register of directors and shareholders, beneficial ownership details). Please be prepared to provide these.

There are no nationality restrictions for Labuan directors or shareholders. However, certain nationalities require enhanced due diligence which may affect banking options.

The UBO is the individual who ultimately owns or controls the company, even if ownership is held through intermediary entities.

Source of funds is a mandatory KYC requirement for both LFSA and any banking application. Please be prepared to substantiate this later with documentation.

05

Your timeline, additional service needs, and anything else we should know before preparing your written scope.
