Hi,

My husband is from the US and is a US citizen and I am from Australia and an Australian Citizen. We are keen to move to KL .. and to establish our family business there .. a Blockchain Technology company.

We plan to employ Malaysians eventually to run the business, but this will be after we are well established.

Please could you help us find the appropriate websites to begin the process of our move.. all help will be appreciated.

Many thanks

Carol and Nuri

you need a local company secretary - use a lawyer not an agent

These people will help you from A-Z - they are a government organisation

Hi Carol. How did things work out for you guys?

I'm a US Citizen starting a business in KL too. Already have the work permit from MTEP and a Sdn Bhd setup, but now the bank account application process is what I'm waiting on... hopefully that can wrap up shortly.

Where will you guys be based? I saw there was a [link moderated] in TTDI. If you don't already have office space, they might be an option since I think they have co-working space available.

Best of luck,
James
