The novel Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has undoubtedly magnified the issue of business instability, financial insecurity as well as mental vulnerability.   The recent FMCO (Full Movement Control Order) extension in Malaysia has further dampened businesses of all sizes exponentially – leading a drop in business income that has caused cash flow positions of businesses in our neighbourhoods to decline and debt to rise inevitably. In effort to address the growing concerns particularly the small and medium businesses, the Management of GECB has decided to offer short-term consultation suitable for small and medium size business owners, and entrepreneurs. Now you can meet our expert Dr Fred Wu at a minimal fee only. Ask yourselves if you are: Facing sales stress is this COVID-19 pandemic?

How to Start Up a Business in Malaysia 2024

Updated on : Mar 20th, 2024

Malaysia, ranked 24th in the World Bank's Ease of Doing Business in 2018, and has emerged as a vibrant hub for business opportunities. However, navigating through the process of setting up a business requires careful planning and understanding of the legal and regulatory environment.

Starting up a business in Malaysia involves a structured approach catering to local and foreign entrepreneurs. Below is an informative guide on how to start up a business in Malaysia, incorporating essential steps and practical advice.

Planning and Preparation

Before diving into the business world in Malaysia, consider the following steps:

Define Your Business Idea and Plan : Identify your target market, understand the problem you're solving, and conduct a SWOT analysis (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats). Ensure you have a solid business plan in place, considering factors such as funding, capital needs, and market research.

Naming Your Business : Choose a unique and memorable name that aligns with your business type. Check for domain name availability and conduct an official business name search through Suruhanjaya Syarikat Malaysia (SSM).

Find a Business Location : For physical stores or specific business types requiring space, select an appropriate location. Home-based businesses can bypass this step.

Registration and Licensing

Starting a business in Malaysia involves a three-step process, each crucial for ensuring your business is legally compliant and set up for success. Here's a simplified and structured guide with key points highlighted:

Step 1: Preparation for Registration  

Selecting a business structure : Choose the most suitable form for your business. Options include sole proprietorship, partnership, limited liability partnership, private limited company, public limited company, branch office, representative office, or subsidiary company. The foreign companies have additional considerations.

Choosing a company name : Acclime can assist in conducting a name search. Ensure the name follows Malaysian guidelines - proper language use, no offensive or religious elements, and compliance with specific naming rules.

Appointing key officials : Decide on your company's directors (minimum one, natural person, aged 18 or above), shareholders (minimum one, can be an individual or a body corporate), and a company secretary (a member of a professional body or licensed by the SSM).

Registered office address : Choose a legitimate office address for receiving formal communication; P.O. boxes aren’t permitted.

Share capital requirements : Determine your share capital, with a minimum requirement of RM1.  

Step 2: Registration

Company registration with SSM : Register your company name with the SSM, which, once approved, is reserved for 30 days (extendable for another 30 days for a fee).

Required documentation : Prepare and submit necessary documents, including the Constitution (optional), Declaration by a director or promoter, Declaration of compliance, and copies of directors' identity cards.

Step 3: Post-Registration

Opening a corporate bank account : Choose from various local and international banks like Maybank, CIMB Bank, etc. Required documents include completed application forms, possibly a letter of introduction, company’s rubber stamp, photocopies of directors’ IDs, and board resolutions.

Obtaining business licenses and permits : Secure general, sector/industry-specific, and activity-specific licenses. General licenses include company registration, tax registrations, EPF, PERKESO, and others.

Determining tax obligations : Understand your company's tax obligations, which vary depending on several factors. Malaysia has specific tax rates for residents and non-residents.

Appointing auditors : Necessary for all companies, with specific timelines for newly incorporated entities.

Registering for employee provident fund : This includes registration for both, employers and employees, with specific documentation required.

Key government agencies and organizations offering support to businesses

In Malaysia, several key government agencies and organizations offer support and resources to businesses, especially those in the start-up phase. These entities provide a range of services, including registration, financial assistance, training, and more. Here's a list of some of the most significant agencies:

Suruhanjaya Syarikat Malaysia (SSM) : SSM regulates companies and businesses, handles new registrations, and provides compliance guidelines.

Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA) : As the government's main agency for industrial development, MIDA advises on investment opportunities and assists companies investing in Malaysia.

Companies Commission of Malaysia (CCM) : CCM is crucial for business registration and incorporation, offering services like registration, renewal, and compliance support.

Small and Medium Enterprises Corporation Malaysia (SME Corp. Malaysia) : Under the Ministry of Entrepreneur Development, SME Corp. Malaysia formulates policies for SMEs and coordinates development programme.

Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (MATRADE) : MATRADE, the national trade promotion agency, assists in developing external trade, with a focus on export promotion.

Ministry of Entrepreneur Development and Cooperatives (MEDAC) : MEDAC aids entrepreneurs and cooperatives through training, financial assistance, and advisory services.

Human Resources Development Fund (HRDF) : Part of the Human Resources Ministry, HRDF focuses on developing the local workforce, aligning with Malaysia's economic goals.

Pertubuhan Keselamatan Sosial (PERKESO) : PERKESO provides social security protection for work-related accidents or diseases.

Starting a business in Malaysia involves several critical steps, from understanding the right business structure to ensuring compliance with various governmental agencies. Navigating this process can be complex, but with the right support and guidance, it becomes manageable and rewarding. Agencies like Suruhanjaya Syarikat Malaysia (SSM) and the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA) play significant roles in this journey, offering necessary resources and regulatory frameworks.

To simplify this process, ClearTax offers an efficient and user-friendly solution, making the task of setting up a business in Malaysia much easier. By leveraging ClearTax's expertise, entrepreneurs can seamlessly navigate through the intricacies of business registration, compliance, and other essential aspects, allowing them to focus more on growing their business in the dynamic Malaysian market.

A business plan is an essential tool for growing and managing the business. So, you must have a business plan before you start a business.

A well-designed business plan can only make you a successful businessman. A business plan is a document that illustrates your plans and goals for the industry. It is essential to find the right consultant or expert, who can guide you about planning business in Malaysia.

However, if you want to acquire a loan from a bank, they may require a business plan. The people working in the bank will analyze the business plan before handing out the credit.

In addition to that, if you are looking to attract investors, you need a business plan to show them your plan and the expected Return of Profit. Below I am going to describe some of the important reasons why a company needs a business plan in Malaysia.

To avoid big mistakes

Get control over your business, to develop a safety plan, to understand your competition, seek investment for a business, to raise capital, frequently asked question (faq).

Many young entrepreneurs fail in business because they don’t have a business plan. By the time they realize the importance of the business plan, it’s too late.

Therefore, We would suggest young entrepreneurs set a business plan before any significant failure take place in your business. Most of the newly started business does not have enough capital to reach their plan or goals. Having a business plan will assure that everyone in the company is aware of the goals and strategies.

By developing a business plan will help you to look at what’s happening and what you can improve within your business. If you have employees, the planning process can be an excellent opportunity to find feedback on possible ideas and improvements.

Your employees will appreciate you for taking their feedback, and they will contribute to your business. Take the time to plan your business; this will help you to understand the sense of control about your business future.

It is essential to set your list of priorities regarding goals, mission, and performance. Besides that, it is a safety measure as well. For instance, what if this idea does not work, what should you need to change to improve or keep the business going. Without a business plan, the company will surely not have proper instruction or manual to follow if the company starts losing.

Creating a business plan will help you analyze your competition. All companies have direct or indirect competitors, and it is essential to understand the competitiveness of your company. Once you acknowledge who your competitor is, you can easily beat them in business.

It doesn’t matter whether it is a startup company or not. If you want someone to invest in your company, they need to see your business plan. The investors will analyze the business plan before they decide to invest. So, having a business plan is always important.

No matter from whom you want to take a loan from (family, friends or financial institution) showing your business plan to them is the best way to communicate. It is also a way of trying to convince them to lend you the loan for starting the business. You also need to assure them that they will be getting their money back as well.

Q: Can you make a business plan by yourself?

  • Yes, you can. However, make sure you have done your research before planning it.

Q: Can I make a business plan for an existing business?

  • Yes, you can. It will help your current employees know better about the companies plan. Besides, it can help plan the financial well at the same time.

Q: Can I make a business plan if my business is currently growing?

  • Yes, you definitely can. It will help you raise capitals, and it can help you create ways or strategy to manage your business growth.

Q: Is it necessary to take expert advice for business planning?

  • If you face problems of planning out of your business, you can take expert advice. Expert advice is always useful for planning a business.

This article described some of the critical reason, why a company needs a business plan. A good business plan helps you to meet your business goal and allows you to communicate with your vision.

For making a good business plan, you need to research on various aspects such as marketing strategy, business goal, obstacle, target audience, etc.

Why A Good Business Plan Is Crucial For Your Malaysian Company’s Success

business plan service malaysia

Running a successful business in Malaysia takes more than just a great idea and a passionate team. To ensure long-term success and profitability, it is essential to have a good business plan in place. A business plan is a blueprint that outlines a company’s goals, strategies, and operations. It provides a roadmap to guide decision-making, helps in securing funding and investments, and can significantly impact a company’s bottom line. In this awe-inspiring article, we will explore the importance of having a good business plan and how it can help your Malaysian company achieve success.

Table of Contents

Importance of a Good Business Plan

A good business plan serves as a strategic document that outlines a company’s vision, mission, goals, and objectives. It includes a detailed analysis of the industry, target market, and competition. This analysis can help a company identify its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. With this information, a company can develop a solid plan to achieve its objectives, allocate resources effectively, and make informed decisions. A good business plan also serves as a tool to monitor progress, measure success, and make adjustments when necessary. Overall, a well-crafted business plan can set a company up for long-term success and help it navigate challenges along the way.

Malaysia Company Incorporation

When starting a business in Malaysia, one of the first steps is company incorporation. The process of Malaysia company incorporation involves registering a new company with the Companies Commission of Malaysia (SSM). SSM company registration is essential for legal compliance and establishing credibility with customers and investors. A good business plan is a requirement for Malaysia company incorporation and is an important aspect of the registration process.

The Role of a Corporate Service Provider

Developing a good business plan can be a complex and time-consuming process, but it is a crucial step in ensuring the success of a company. Many business owners find it helpful to work with a corporate service provider to develop a comprehensive business plan. Corporate service providers in Malaysia, such as 3E Accounting Malaysia, offer a range of services that can help businesses with company incorporation, accounting, taxation, and compliance. Working with a corporate service provider can save time, reduce stress, and ensure that a company’s business plan is comprehensive and effective.

A good business plan is crucial for the success of any Malaysian company. It provides a roadmap to guide decision-making, helps secure funding and investments, and sets a company up for long-term success. Malaysia company incorporation requires a comprehensive business plan, and working with a corporate service provider can help business owners develop an effective plan. Therefore, seeking professional assistance from a corporate service provider like 3E Accounting Malaysia is highly recommended for any business owner looking to establish and grow their business in Malaysia.

“Developing a good business plan can be challenging, but with the right help, it can lead to endless possibilities for your company.”

Ahead, learn what it takes to create a solid business plan and download Shopify's free business plan template to get started on your dream today. 

What this free business plan template includes

  • Executive summary
  • Company overview
  • Products or services offered
  • Market analysis
  • Marketing plan
  • Logistics and operations plan
  • Financial plan

This business plan outline is designed to ensure you’re thinking through all of the important facets of starting a new business. It’s intended to help new business owners and entrepreneurs consider the full scope of running a business and identify functional areas they may not have considered or where they may need to level up their skills as they grow.

That said, it may not include the specific details or structure preferred by a potential investor or lender. If your goal with a business plan is to secure funding , check with your target organizations—typically banks or investors—to see if they have business plan templates you can follow to maximize your chances of success.

Our free business plan template includes seven key elements typically found in the traditional business plan format:

1. Executive summary

This is a one-page summary of your whole plan, typically written after the rest of the plan is completed. The description section of your executive summary will also cover your management team, business objectives and strategy, and other background information about the brand. 

2. Company overview

This section of your business plan will answer two fundamental questions: “Who are you?” and “What do you plan to do?” Answering these questions clarifies why your company exists, what sets it apart from others, and why it’s a good investment opportunity. This section will detail the reasons for your business’s existence, its goals, and its guiding principles.

3. Products or services offered

What you sell and the most important features of your products or services. It also includes any plans for intellectual property, like patent filings or copyright. If you do market research for new product lines, it will show up in this section of your business plan.

4. Market analysis

This section includes everything from estimated market size to your target markets and competitive advantage. It’ll include a competitive analysis of your industry to address competitors’ strengths and weaknesses. Market research is an important part of ensuring you have a viable idea.

5. Marketing plan

How you intend to get the word out about your business, and what strategic decisions you’ve made about things like your pricing strategy. It also covers potential customers’ demographics, your sales plan, and your metrics and milestones for success.

6. Logistics and operations plan

Everything that needs to happen to turn your raw materials into products and get them into the hands of your customers.

7. Financial plan

It’s important to include a look at your financial projections, including both revenue and expense projections. This section includes templates for three key financial statements: an income statement, a balance sheet, and a cash-flow statement . You can also include whether or not you need a business loan and how much you’ll need.

Business plan examples

What do financial projections look like on paper? How do you write an executive summary? What should your company description include?  Business plan examples  can help answer some of these questions and transform your business idea into an actionable plan.

Professional business plan example

Inside our template, we’ve filled out a sample business plan featuring a fictional ecommerce business . 

The sample is set up to help you get a sense of each section and understand how they apply to the planning and evaluation stages of a business plan. If you’re looking for funding, this example won’t be a complete or formal look at business plans, but it will give you a great place to start and notes about where to expand.

Example text in a business plan company overview section

Lean business plan example

A lean business plan format is a shortened version of your more detailed business plan. It’s helpful when modifying your plan for a specific audience, like investors or new hires. 

Also known as a one-page business plan, it includes only the most important, need-to-know information, such as:

  • Company description
  • Key members of your team
  • Customer segments

Benefits of writing a solid business plan

It’s tempting to dive right into execution when you’re excited about a new business or side project, but taking the time to write a thorough business plan and get your thoughts on paper allows you to do a number of beneficial things:

  • Test the viability of your business idea. Whether you’ve got one business idea or many, business plans can make an idea more tangible, helping you see if it’s truly viable and ensure you’ve found a target market. 
  • Plan for your next phase. Whether your goal is to start a new business or scale an existing business to the next level, a business plan can help you understand what needs to happen and identify gaps to address.
  • Clarify marketing strategy, goals, and tactics. Writing a business plan can show you the actionable next steps to take on a big, abstract idea. It can also help you narrow your strategy and identify clear-cut tactics that will support it.
  • Scope the necessary work. Without a concrete plan, cost overruns and delays are all but certain. A business plan can help you see the full scope of work to be done and adjust your investment of time and money accordingly.
  • Hire and build partnerships. When you need buy-in from potential employees and business partners, especially in the early stages of your business, a clearly written business plan is one of the best tools at your disposal. A business plan provides a refined look at your goals for the business, letting partners judge for themselves whether or not they agree with your vision.
  • Secure funds. Seeking financing for your business—whether from venture capital, financial institutions, or Shopify Capital —is one of the most common reasons to create a business plan.

Why you should you use a template for a business plan

A business plan can be as informal or formal as your situation calls for, but even if you’re a fan of the back-of-the-napkin approach to planning, there are some key benefits to starting your plan from an existing outline or simple business plan template.

No blank-page paralysis

A blank page can be intimidating to even the most seasoned writers. Using an established business planning process and template can help you get past the inertia of starting your business plan, and it allows you to skip the work of building an outline from scratch. You can always adjust a template to suit your needs.

Guidance on what to include in each section

If you’ve never sat through a business class, you might never have created a SWOT analysis or financial projections. Templates that offer guidance—in plain language—about how to fill in each section can help you navigate sometimes-daunting business jargon and create a complete and effective plan.

Knowing you’ve considered every section

In some cases, you may not need to complete every section of a startup business plan template, but its initial structure shows you you’re choosing to omit a section as opposed to forgetting to include it in the first place.

Tips for creating a successful business plan

There are some high-level strategic guidelines beyond the advice included in this free business plan template that can help you write an effective, complete plan while minimizing busywork.

Understand the audience for your plan

If you’re writing a business plan for yourself in order to get clarity on your ideas and your industry as a whole, you may not need to include the same level of detail or polish you would with a business plan you want to send to potential investors. Knowing who will read your plan will help you decide how much time to spend on it.

Know your goals

Understanding the goals of your plan can help you set the right scope. If your goal is to use the plan as a roadmap for growth, you may invest more time in it than if your goal is to understand the competitive landscape of a new industry.

Take it step by step

Writing a 10- to 15-page document can feel daunting, so try to tackle one section at a time. Select a couple of sections you feel most confident writing and start there—you can start on the next few sections once those are complete. Jot down bullet-point notes in each section before you start writing to organize your thoughts and streamline the writing process.

Maximize your business planning efforts

Planning is key to the financial success of any type of business , whether you’re a startup, non-profit, or corporation.

To make sure your efforts are focused on the highest-value parts of your own business planning, like clarifying your goals, setting a strategy, and understanding the target market and competitive landscape, lean on a business plan outline to handle the structure and format for you. Even if you eventually omit sections, you’ll save yourself time and energy by starting with a framework already in place.

Creating an effective business plan for your e-commerce business in Malaysia

  • August 24, 2023

Get the latest e-commerce industry news, best practices, and product updates!

Table of contents.

In today’s digital age, e-commerce has emerged as a thriving avenue for entrepreneurs to establish and expand their businesses. However, venturing into a competitive landscape such as Malaysia requires more than having just a functional e-commerce website and product listings . A well-crafted e-commerce business plan that helps entrepreneurs align operations towards goals, weather market challenges and is crucial for online success. 

This article delves into the fundamentals of creating such a plan, encompassing various key aspects. Here, we will explore the vital differences between a business plan and a business model, along with essential steps like identifying a niche market, conducting thorough market research, and selecting an appropriate e-commerce platform . Additionally, we will outline the critical elements of a comprehensive e-commerce business plan, ensuring you are well-equipped to embark on your digital retail journey.

What is an e-commerce business plan?

An e-commerce business plan is a comprehensive blueprint outlining the strategic direction and operational framework for an online retail venture. Tailored to the digital marketplace, it articulates the business’s mission, objectives, and strategies. This guiding document provides an e-commerce business owner in Malaysia with a clear overview of offerings, target market, marketing approach, financial projections, and operational logistics . 

Crucially, it helps identify potential pitfalls, anticipate popular Malaysian market trends, and craft effective strategies for success. A well-structured plan enhances credibility from customers and investors alike and helps secure funding. Additionally, it is key to establishing internal coordination, streamlining decision-making, and aligning the team toward the shared objectives of the company. It is the foundation upon which successful e-commerce ventures are built, driving growth and opportunities in the digital realm.

Difference between a Business Plan and a Business Model

The distinction between a business plan and a business model lies in its scope and purpose. A business plan outlines the concrete and customised operational processes of an e-commerce venture. It encompasses detailed strategies, market analysis, financial projections, and implementation guidelines. 

On the other hand, a business model is a conceptual framework on which the business plan is built. It defines the core value proposition and revenue streams. In addition to this, a business plan aims at outlining the target market and key partnerships for a Malaysian business.

While the business plan delves into the specifics of execution, the business model provides the foundational logic and structure to ensure the e-commerce venture’s viability and success. Together, these elements form a cohesive strategy for growth and sustainability in the extremely dynamic digital landscape.

Creating an effective business plan for your e-commerce business in Malaysia

How to Create a Business Plan for Malaysia

Embarking on an e-commerce venture in Malaysia offers immense opportunities in a rapidly growing digital landscape. However, success in this dynamic market necessitates a well-structured and comprehensive business plan. In the forthcoming section, we will present a step-by-step guide to developing an e-commerce business plan tailored specifically for Malaysia. This guide will encompass key considerations and essential components necessary to create a robust and effective blueprint for your online retail journey.

Let’s dive into the process of crafting a winning e-commerce business plan for Malaysia.

Find a Niche Market

Identifying a niche market in e-commerce is crucial for success, enabling businesses to target specific audiences, tailor products, and establish a strong brand identity. Niche markets often have less competition, allowing businesses to position themselves uniquely and become authoritative players.

Conduct thorough market research by analysing trends, consumer demands, keyword search volumes, social media discussions, and industry forums. Survey potential customers and seek expert opinions to validate market potential and narrow down the best niche for your e-commerce venture.

Conduct market research

To succeed in the Malaysian e-commerce market, understand local target audience demographics, cultural nuances, and buying behaviours. This may include the dip in retail shopping post-pandemic or even the rising e-commerce penetration rate in Malaysia. Nevertheless, analysing market trends, such as mobile commerce growth, helps entrepreneurs stay ahead.

So, perform a comprehensive competitor analysis to gain a competitive edge. Identify gaps in the market and untapped opportunities to position your e-commerce business strategically and offer unique value propositions.

Look for an appropriate e-commerce platform

Choose the right e-commerce platform, such as Shopify , WooCommerce , or BigCommerce , based on features and customisation options that suit your business needs. Consider the following criteria when opting for an e-commerce site:

  • Ease of use
  • Scalability
  • Customer support
  • Integration with third-party tools

In addition to these criteria, evaluate the performance, loading speed, and mobile responsiveness of the platform for a smooth user experience.

Build a Website

Secure reliable hosting with optimal uptime and fast loading times. Choose a memorable domain name and set up branded email addresses to enhance credibility. A professional domain name adds credibility to your e-commerce business, while branded email addresses foster trust with customers compared to generic email services.

Pick The Right Payment Gateway

Payment gateways in Malaysia, such as iPay88, PayPal, and BillPlz, facilitate secure transactions between customers and e-commerce businesses, encrypting sensitive data during online purchases. Therefore, a business will have to choose a payment gateway that will fulfil the following basic criteria: 

  • Transaction fees
  • Supported currencies
  • Integration options
  • Compliance with industry standards and regulations

Determine a Logistics Partner

Efficient logistics and order fulfillment are crucial for a successful e-commerce operation, ensuring timely and satisfactory customer experiences that foster loyalty and positive word-of-mouth. Evaluate logistics partners based on capabilities, coverage, reliability, and cost-effectiveness. Partner with a reputable and locally-oriented logistics provider like Locad for a competitive advantage and optimised last-mile delivery in the Malaysian market.

E-commerce Business Plan Elements

An e-commerce business plan consists of a whole range of elements that come together to help create the foundation for a successful business venture. These include the vision, mission, financials, and more. Read along as we explore them below.

Executive summary

The executive summary serves as a condensed version of the comprehensive e-commerce business plan, highlighting its key elements and strategic direction. It provides readers with a quick understanding of the venture’s objectives, target market, unique value proposition, and financial projections.

The executive summary plays a pivotal role in capturing the attention of potential investors, stakeholders, and partners. Its succinct nature allows busy readers to grasp the essence of the business plan quickly, enticing them to delve further into the detailed document.

Company mission and overview

The company mission and overview articulate the core purpose, long-term vision, and values that guide the e-commerce venture. It outlines the problem the business aims to solve and the unique approach it takes to achieve its goals.

A well-defined mission and vision statement provides a clear direction and serves as a compass during decision-making processes. They align the team, foster a strong company culture, and reinforce the commitment to the venture’s overarching objectives.

Market analysis

The market analysis delves into the e-commerce industry, examining trends, market size, and growth potential. It analyses the target market’s demographics, preferences, and pain points. Furthermore, it assesses competitors, their strengths, weaknesses, and market positioning.

Through market analysis, businesses identify unmet needs and gaps in the market, uncovering opportunities to differentiate themselves. In Malaysia, e-commerce has seen double-digit sales increases over the past decade. This type of knowledge is invaluable for crafting compelling value propositions and strategies that resonate with the target audience.

Products and services offered

This section provides a comprehensive description of the products or services offered by the e-commerce store. It highlights the unique selling points, features, and benefits that distinguish the offerings from competitors.

In this section, businesses provide specific details about each product or service, showcasing their attributes, applications, and any complementary offerings. A clear understanding of the offerings helps potential customers make informed purchase decisions.

Marketing Plan

The marketing plan outlines a multi-faceted approach to reach the target audience, encompassing digital marketing, social media campaigns, influencer partnerships, SEO, and content marketing. It identifies the most effective channels to create brand awareness and drive customer acquisition.

Through targeted marketing strategies, businesses can effectively engage with their intended audience, build brand recognition, and establish a strong online presence. This section also addresses customer retention efforts to foster brand loyalty .

Operations Plan

The operations plan defines the essential processes and procedures involved in running the e-commerce business smoothly. It covers inventory management , order fulfillment, customer service, and the logistics involved in shipping and returns . Standard Operating Procedures or SOPs involved in these areas of e-commerce ensure consistency in operations and enable seamless coordination among different team members. Clearly documented SOPs optimise efficiency, reduce errors, and facilitate scalability as the business grows.

Financial Plan

The financial plan presents detailed projections of revenue, expenses, and profits over a specific timeframe. It includes a budget outlining planned expenditures and expected returns, enabling businesses to make informed financial decisions.

The financial plan also addresses the initial capital required to launch the e-commerce venture and outlines the strategies for achieving profitability. Additionally, it may include an exit strategy that outlines potential scenarios for investors or founders to exit the business.

Drafting the Summary

An executive summary is an extremely important first step in your business. You have to be able to put the basic facts of your business in an elevator pitch-style sentence to grab investors’ attention and keep their interest. This should communicate your business’s name, what the products or services you’re selling are and what marketplace you’re entering.

Ask for Help

When drafting the executive summary, you should have a few different options. Enlist a few thought partners to review your executive summary possibilities to determine which one is best.

After you have the executive summary in place, you can work on the company description, which contains more specific information. In the description, you’ll need to include your business’s registered name , your business address and any key employees involved in the business. 

The business description should also include the structure of your business, such as sole proprietorship , limited liability company (LLC) , partnership or corporation. This is the time to specify how much of an ownership stake everyone has in the company. Finally, include a section that outlines the history of the company and how it has evolved over time.

Wherever you are on the business journey, you return to your goals and assess where you are in meeting your in-progress targets and setting new goals to work toward.

Numbers-based Goals

Goals can cover a variety of sections of your business. Financial and profit goals are a given for when you’re establishing your business, but there are other goals to take into account as well with regard to brand awareness and growth. For example, you might want to hit a certain number of followers across social channels or raise your engagement rates.

Another goal could be to attract new investors or find grants if you’re a nonprofit business. If you’re looking to grow, you’ll want to set revenue targets to make that happen as well.

Intangible Goals

Goals unrelated to traceable numbers are important as well. These can include seeing your business’s advertisement reach the general public or receiving a terrific client review. These goals are important for the direction you take your business and the direction you want it to go in the future.

The business plan should have a section that explains the services or products that you’re offering. This is the part where you can also describe how they fit in the current market or are providing something necessary or entirely new. If you have any patents or trademarks, this is where you can include those too.

If you have any visual aids, they should be included here as well. This would also be a good place to include pricing strategy and explain your materials.

This is the part of the business plan where you can explain your expertise and different approach in greater depth. Show how what you’re offering is vital to the market and fills an important gap.

You can also situate your business in your industry and compare it to other ones and how you have a competitive advantage in the marketplace.

Other than financial goals, you want to have a budget and set your planned weekly, monthly and annual spending. There are several different costs to consider, such as operational costs.

Business Operations Costs

Rent for your business is the first big cost to factor into your budget. If your business is remote, the cost that replaces rent will be the software that maintains your virtual operations.

Marketing and sales costs should be next on your list. Devoting money to making sure people know about your business is as important as making sure it functions.

Other Costs

Although you can’t anticipate disasters, there are likely to be unanticipated costs that come up at some point in your business’s existence. It’s important to factor these possible costs into your financial plans so you’re not caught totally unaware.

Business plans are important for businesses of all sizes so that you can define where your business is and where you want it to go. Growing your business requires a vision, and giving yourself a roadmap in the form of a business plan will set you up for success.

How do I write a simple business plan?

When you’re working on a business plan, make sure you have as much information as possible so that you can simplify it to the most relevant information. A simple business plan still needs all of the parts included in this article, but you can be very clear and direct.

What are some common mistakes in a business plan?

The most common mistakes in a business plan are common writing issues like grammar errors or misspellings. It’s important to be clear in your sentence structure and proofread your business plan before sending it to any investors or partners.

What basic items should be included in a business plan?

When writing out a business plan, you want to make sure that you cover everything related to your concept for the business,  an analysis of the industry―including potential customers and an overview of the market for your goods or services―how you plan to execute your vision for the business, how you plan to grow the business if it becomes successful and all financial data around the business, including current cash on hand, potential investors and budget plans for the next few years.

A business plan is a written document that outlines the goals, objectives, strategies, and financial forecasts of a business. It serves as a roadmap for entrepreneurs, guiding them in establishing and operating their business effectively. This plan typically includes sections that cover various aspects of the business, such as executive summary, company description, market analysis, product or service offerings, marketing and sales strategies, organisational structure, financial projections, and funding requirements.

There are several compelling reasons why entrepreneurs should use this plan. Here are some key reasons:

1. Clear Vision and Goals

It helps entrepreneurs articulate their vision for the business and set clear goals. It allows them to define their mission, values, and objectives, providing a roadmap for the future.

2. Strategic Planning

It enables entrepreneurs to develop a strategic approach to their business. It involves analysing the market, identifying target customers, understanding competition, and formulating strategies to gain a competitive edge. This helps in making informed decisions and minimising risks.

3. Financial Planning

It includes financial projections and budgeting, which aids in assessing the financial feasibility of the business. It helps entrepreneurs determine the funding needed, forecast revenue and expenses, and understand cash flow requirements. This is vital for attracting investors and securing financing.

4. Attracting Investors and Partners

A well-crafted plan enhances the credibility of the business and attracts potential investors, partners, and lenders. It demonstrates that the entrepreneur has conducted thorough research, has a solid strategy in place, and understands the market dynamics.

5. Operational Guidance

It provides a framework for managing day-to-day operations. It outlines the organisational structure, responsibilities, and processes, ensuring that everyone in the business is aligned and working towards common goals.

6. Measuring Progress and Accountability

With it, entrepreneurs can establish key performance indicators (KPIs) and milestones to track progress. Regularly reviewing and comparing actual results against the plan allows for adjustments, accountability, and measuring success.

7. Adapting to Changes

These documents are not static documents; they can be revised and adapted as circumstances change. They provide a foundation for evaluating market shifts, industry trends, and new opportunities, enabling entrepreneurs to make strategic adjustments to stay competitive.

ℹ️ Overall, using a plan provides structure, clarity, and direction to entrepreneurs. It helps them make informed decisions, attract resources, and navigate the challenges of running a successful business.

A comprehensive plan should include several key elements to provide a thorough understanding of the business and its strategies. These elements typically include an executive summary, company description, market analysis, product or service offerings, marketing and sales strategies, organisational structure, financial projections, and funding requirements.  

➤ The executive summary provides a concise overview of the entire plan, highlighting the key points and enticing readers to continue.
➤ The company description delves into the business's mission, vision, values, and legal structure.
➤ The market analysis section examines the industry landscape, target market, competition, and potential opportunities.
➤ It is followed by a detailed description of the product or service offerings, including their unique features and value proposition.
➤ The marketing and sales strategies outline how the business plans to reach and attract customers.
➤ The organizational structure clarifies the roles and responsibilities within the company.
➤ Financial projections encompass revenue forecasts, expense estimates, cash flow analysis, and profitability projections.
➤ Finally, the funding requirements section highlights the financial needs of the business and its plans for obtaining funding.

ℹ️ By including these crucial elements, the document presents a comprehensive and well-rounded view of the business, enabling entrepreneurs to make informed decisions and communicate their vision effectively.

In Malaysia, a well-developed business plan plays a crucial role in contributing to the success of a business. It provides a roadmap for entrepreneurs, enabling them to navigate the competitive landscape and make informed decisions. Furthermore, a business plan serves as a foundation for drafting essential legal agreements, such as the Shareholders Agreement and Share Purchase Agreement . These agreements define the rights, responsibilities, and obligations of shareholders, ensuring clarity and transparency in the management and operation of the business. The shareholders agreement outlines the roles, voting rights, and profit-sharing arrangements among shareholders, fostering a harmonious and cooperative environment. On the other hand, the share purchase agreement governs the purchase and transfer of shares, protecting the interests of both buyers and sellers. By incorporating these agreements into the business plan, entrepreneurs in Malaysia can establish a solid legal framework, build trust among shareholders, and mitigate potential conflicts, thereby enhancing the overall success and stability of the business.

Entrepreneurs can reap numerous benefits by utilising a business plan, including the establishment of a Memorandum Of Understanding (MOU) . A business plan provides a structured framework for entrepreneurs to outline their goals, strategies, and financial projections. It assists in clarifying their vision, identifying target markets, and understanding competition. By documenting these aspects, entrepreneurs gain a deeper understanding of their business and can effectively communicate their ideas to stakeholders. Additionally, a business plan helps entrepreneurs secure financing by demonstrating the viability and potential profitability of their venture. Furthermore, the creation of an MOU within the business plan allows entrepreneurs to formalise agreements with partners, investors, or other entities involved in the business. The MOU outlines the terms and conditions, roles and responsibilities, and mutual objectives, creating a solid foundation for collaboration and minimising misunderstandings. Ultimately, a well-crafted business plan, coupled with an MOU, empowers entrepreneurs to navigate challenges, attract resources, and increase the likelihood of success in their entrepreneurial endeavours.

Not having a business plan can significantly hinder the success and growth of a business. Without it, entrepreneurs may lack a clear roadmap and strategic direction, making it challenging to make informed decisions and set achievable goals. The document serves as a crucial tool for assessing the financial feasibility of a venture, understanding the market dynamics, and identifying potential risks and challenges. Without these insights, entrepreneurs may struggle to attract investors, secure financing, or effectively allocate resources. Additionally, it helps entrepreneurs communicate their vision, mission, and value proposition to stakeholders, such as employees , partners, and customers. Without a well-articulated plan, entrepreneurs may face difficulties in conveying their ideas and building credibility.

ℹ️ Overall, while it may be tempting to overlook the creation of this document, doing so can leave entrepreneurs without a strategic foundation, potentially leading to missed opportunities and increased risks in the competitive business landscape.

A well-developed plan plays a crucial role in mitigating potential risks and challenges that entrepreneurs may encounter.  

➤ By conducting a comprehensive market analysis, entrepreneurs can identify and assess potential risks, such as market fluctuations, competitive threats, or changing consumer preferences. This enables them to develop contingency plans and strategies to navigate these challenges effectively.
➤ Additionally, it incorporates financial projections and budgeting, which allows entrepreneurs to anticipate and plan for potential financial risks, such as cash flow issues or unexpected expenses.
➤ Moreover, it prompts entrepreneurs to consider operational risks, such as supply chain disruptions or regulatory changes, and develop mitigation strategies accordingly. By addressing these risks proactively, entrepreneurs can minimise their impact on the business and increase the chances of long-term success.
➤ Furthermore, it encourages entrepreneurs to set realistic goals and milestones, enabling them to track progress and identify potential deviations early on. This allows for timely adjustments and proactive problem-solving, mitigating risks before they escalate.

In summary, it serves as a risk management tool by providing entrepreneurs with a structured approach to identify, assess, and mitigate potential risks and challenges in their business operations.

Business Expansion into Malaysia — Yay or Nay?

10 Dec 2021

4 Reasons why incorporating in Malaysia could be a wise decision

Over the last ten years, Malaysia has become a destination of choice for business expansion. The World Bank ranked Malaysia at a respectable 55th place out of 157 countries across the globe as the easiest place to do business. While the government continues to play its part in facilitating greater ease, there are geographical factors that help boost Malaysia’s chances as the next destination to launch your business expansion strategy.

The country is strategically located in the Asia Pacific Rim, at the centre, with numerous other ASEAN nations surrounding it. This means businesses in Malaysia can take advantage of and gain easy access to a substantial 667 million regional population 1 , which together boast a combined GDP of over US$3.3 trillion 1 .

If you are thinking of expanding your business into Malaysia, here are FOUR reasons why it would prove to be a wise choice.

01 It’s Quick, Easy, and Low-Cost to Incorporate

Comparatively, Malaysia is possibly one of the easiest places for   businesses to incorporate . Malaysia’s efforts to reform—policy enhancements and procedural improvements—over the past few years have increased efficiencies and reduced the waiting time involved with registration and permit application processes. Registration of a new business takes 5-10 days, and employment permits for expatriates are processed within 5 working days. Find out the steps on How to register a company in Malaysia .

Operationally and financially, Malaysia has built a strong case for itself. It boasts one of the lowest start-up costs compared to the other Asia Pacific countries, as shown by its 17.5 days and 11.1% of income per capita 2  required to start a business. This is largely driven by its low property rental rates, with an average gross rental yield of 5.16% 3 , and its generally low minimum wage.

Knight Frank currently estimates the supply of office space in Kuala Lumpur (KL) city is 58.33 million sq ft, followed by KL fringe with 30.31 million sq ft and Selangor with 26.09 million sq ft, which brings the total to 114.73 million sq ft 4 .

In addition to low office rental rates, businesses can operate economically because of Malaysia’s relatively low minimum wage, which sits at RM1,288.35 (US$275.23 5 ) per month.

02 You’ll Avoid Double Taxation for Your Business Expansion Strategy

In most countries, double taxation usually occurs when any taxpayer of a specific country engages in international business transactions. However, this is not the case for businesses in Malaysia. The country is a part of   DTAs (Double Taxation Agreements)  involving countries located in every continent of the world. This allows Malaysia to create an attractive tax environment where a greater international flow of investment, trade and financial activities, and technical knowledge are facilitated and exchanged.

These DTAs outline the treatment of income or profits earned outside Malaysia by Malaysian businesses and within Malaysia by foreign-owned businesses. On this note, companies in Malaysia are protected against the possibility of a singular income being subject to two countries’ taxes simultaneously. The double taxation agreement also provides taxpayers with certainty about their tax treatment. In the event of an absent DTA, businesses are still eligible for tax relief through the foreign tax credit.

For advisory on double taxation reduction, consider speaking with a professional tax consultant who can provide expert guidance on how to enhance your company’s tax savings.

03 The Locals are Ready to Buy

When shortlisting a country for your business expansion plans, qualifying your list of countries based on their economic strength is an excellent place to start. A country’s GDP is the best measure to assess its overall economic strength because it is closely connected with the country’s average consumer purchasing power. Malaysia’s total nominal GDP is expected to reach US$710 billion by 2030 and US$1 trillion by 2035 6 , with a healthy growth rate of 4.0% – 4.5% 7 .

Malaysia’s strong GDP is attributed to the government’s effort to remain robust in the agriculture, construction, manufacturing, mining, and services industries. The theme of Budget 2024, “Reformasi Ekonomi, Memperkasa Rakyat 8 ” (Economic Reform, Empowering People), focuses on three main objectives: improving governance and public delivery system, transforming the business and economic sectors, and enhancing the quality of life of the people. This budget, which is the largest in the nation’s history, also reaffirms the government’s dedication to fiscal reforms to overcome the dual challenges of a less robust global economic outlook and Malaysia’s financial constraints.

With such a reform-oriented and resilient budget, Malaysians’ incomes are improving, and depending on your type of business, you can benefit from a growing number of consumers who are able or willing to purchase low- to middle-market products and services readily.

04 The Local Government Supports Your International Expansion Strategy

Malaysia has been growing economically in tandem with global trends. In line with the adoption of Industrial Revolution 4.0 (IR4.0), it has introduced its own   National 4IR Policy . This broad, overarching national policy drives coherence in transforming the socioeconomic development of the country through the ethical use of 4IR technologies, such as Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain, and the Internet of Things.

The National 4IR Policy aims to attract foreign investments by fostering a culture of innovation and digitalisation, enhancing the performance and productivity of local industries, and enabling Malaysia to join global value chains. The policy also offers incentives and support for foreign investors who adopt 4IR technologies and develop the human capital and infrastructure in Malaysia. By tapping into the opportunities of 4IR, Malaysia can position itself as a regional hub for advanced and knowledge-intensive industries and achieve its vision of becoming a high-income and inclusive nation by 2030.

While there are limited restrictions on foreign ownership in certain strategic sectors, the Malaysian government encourages the inflow of foreign investments. This is apparent in the incremental liberalisation of equity conditions by various government agencies and the broad range of attractive incentives to entice new foreign investments and promote local start-ups. These incentives range from generous tax exemptions and allowances to grants.

Depending on your business, you might even be eligible for specific grants and incentives aimed at supporting innovation or projects that contribute strategically to the country’s economy and industries. Having a good knowledge of these incentives and how they may apply to you will allow you to maximise your business potential and put you on the fast track to success. Here are 5 grants that might be helpful as you incorporate in Malaysia.

  • Cradle Investment Programme 300 (CIP300) stands as a pre-seed initiative targeting aspiring entrepreneurs in sectors such as ICT and other technology fields. This program offers up to RM 300,000 to these startups looking to develop and promote their innovative services.
  • MaGIC Global Accelerator Programme (MaGICGAP) is a three-month intensive programme that helps promising local and global mid-to-late stage start-ups with established product-market-fit to get investment. It is designed for start-ups that have launched a product with reasonable traction, as well as highly scalable ones carrying a growth potential business model. This programme is open to start-ups from various industries, such as creative and lifestyle, e-commerce, education, finance, healthcare, and smart cities.
  • Technology Acquisition Fund (TAF) is a hybrid grant and loan scheme that assists eligible Malaysian companies in procuring foreign technologies and integrating them into their existing business and manufacturing activities. The fund aims to allow companies to accelerate their growth potential by acquiring new technology and improving their technological capabilities and production processes. This applies to businesses in the priority technology clusters identified by MOSTI, such as aerospace, medical devices, pharmaceuticals, advanced electronics, and renewable energy.
  • Domestic Investment Strategic Fund is a matching grant designed to offer incentives to established companies within the manufacturing and services sectors, boasting a minimum of 60% Malaysian equity ownership. This fund supports and encourages reinvestments, encompassing activities such as expansion, modernisation, and diversification. Notably, it facilitates initiatives like training, R&D, outsourcing, international standards, and technology licensing or acquisition. The fund is accessible to businesses in priority sectors such as aerospace, food security, machinery and equipment, and services.
  • Women Exporters Development Programme (WEDP) is a specialised export support program aimed at empowering women in the export industry. This three-year program is tailored to assist competitive and sustainable businesses led by women to foster the growth of product and service exports. To be eligible for this programme, the company must be women-owned, hold a majority stake (at least 51%) and hold key leadership positions as the CEO and/or Managing Director. This programme covers both merchandise and services trade across various industries.

The Malaysian government also has a dedicated agency, the   Malaysian Investment Development Authority (“MIDA”) , to help facilitate your international expansion strategy into the country. Besides the ease and low cost of incorporation, Malaysia also offers other advantages for businesses, including:

  • Low corporate tax rates of 15%-24% 9  depending on the company size and income
  • New Companies Act 2016 simplifies the registration process and reduces the compliance burden for companies

Strategic location  in the heart of the ASEAN Community, providing access to a large and diverse market of over 600 million people
