Hi, I am malaysian planning to start an ecommerce business with a partner. Would like to know what's the main concern between business (partnership) and company (private limited) besides the limited liability?
Is there any difference in terms of required investment capital ? Would be great if you can advise what's the pro and cons of each and the underlying cost incurred. thanks
Hi Terence,
A Partnership vs a Private Limited Company (Sdn. Bhd.)
Choose a Partnership if you wish to enjoy:
1. Ease of registration
2. Less compliance requirements
3. Annual tax chargeable on personal income tax (scaled tax rates)
Choose a Sdn. Bhd. If you wish to enjoy:
1. Higher credibility
2. Better access to funding
3. Ease of future business expansion
4. Corporate tax advantages like the SME Digitalisation Grant Scheme etc.

There is not much difference in terms of required investment capital. The underlying cost you can consider are set up fees, compliance fees, and tax liabilities.
