What does a company secretary do — and why RM99 a month?
The company secretary keeps your company legally in good standing. Here’s what the role covers and what Voyage’s retainer includes.
The role of a company secretary
A company secretary is a statutory officer every Sdn. Bhd. must have. They maintain your statutory registers, prepare and lodge filings with SSM, keep board and shareholder records, and make sure deadlines are met so your company avoids penalties.
It is a compliance role, not an administrative one — and it must be filled by a qualified, licensed person.
What the RM99 retainer covers
Voyage’s flat monthly retainer bundles the essentials:
- A named, qualified company secretary
- Maintenance of statutory registers and records
- Deadline monitoring and reminders
- A registered office address
- A WhatsApp support line
What sits outside the retainer
Some statutory items are charged separately because they are annual, not monthly. From your second year, the Annual Return filing is RM500 a year, and preparation and submission of your Audited Financial Statements via MBRS is RM500.
The Plus tier at RM129/month also includes drafting of resolutions.
