Years guiding founders
Four reasons international founders choose us.
Built for foreigners, not generalists
While the big platforms treat every customer the same, we've spent 15 years specialising in one thing: helping non-Malaysians register, run, and stay compliant in this market. We know the SSM nuances, the LHDN traps, and the bank requirements that catch foreign founders out. You won't be our pilot project.
A permanent address, not a forwarding service
Your registered office in Mont Kiara is owned by us — the same address we've operated from for over a decade. No surprise relocations. No forwarding fees. No 'your service provider has moved' letters from regulators. Just a stable, professional address at the heart of KL's business hub.
One partner, not a ticket queue
You'll have a direct line to a senior secretary who knows your company by name. Not a chatbot. Not a rotating offshore team. We move at the speed of automation but we answer like the boutique we are. That's the human judgment part.
Built by AI founders, for AI founders
The team behind this site runs Roboflorist and other AI ventures, all incorporated and managed through the same parent firm we recommend to you. When you ask us about Stripe, USDC payments, foreign-sourced AI revenue, or how to structure a one-person SaaS in Malaysia, you're getting answers from someone who shipped it last quarter.
Built by the founders who use it
We don't just service AI businesses. We run them.
Robo Company Secretary is built by a solo founder who, in early 2026, incorporated multiple AI ventures back-to-back: Roboflorist (an agent-first global B2B/B2C florist platform), this product, and others. All foreign-founder structures. All set up through the same parent firm we now recommend to you: AK Secretarial Companies Sdn Bhd.
Every workflow on this site, every shortcut in the cost calculator, every line in the compliance checklist — it's something we use ourselves. When you ask us about Stripe, USDC, foreign-sourced AI revenue, or the mechanics of running a one-person SaaS in Malaysia, you're not getting textbook answers. You're getting answers from someone who shipped it last quarter.

What founders say
Trusted by founders from five continents.
“They handled everything for our Malaysian entity in two weeks flat — SSM filing, bank intro, the lot. As a solo founder shipping a SaaS from another timezone, that speed mattered. They also got the nuances of foreign-sourced revenue right, which surprised me.”
J. Byun 🇰🇷
Tech founder
“After 15 years incorporating across five jurisdictions, I've never had a smoother experience than with this team. They told me what I didn't know I needed to ask.”
B. Lanza 🇺🇸
Real estate investor
“What I appreciated most: they treated my one-person AI agency with the same care as their enterprise clients. No upsell pressure, no template answers. Real partner.”
