SSM Company Deregistration Form for Foreign Companies

Foreign companies closing operations in Malaysia must complete a formal deregistration process with the Companies Commission of Malaysia (SSM) under Section 565 and 566 of the Companies Act 2016. This SSM company deregistration form streamlines the process for foreign entities winding up their Malaysian operations.

Whether you're a regional office, branch, or representative office ceasing operations, proper deregistration ensures compliance with Malaysian corporate law and prevents ongoing obligations. This template captures all essential information required by SSM including company details, local agent information, reason for cessation, and supporting documentation.

Why use Paperform for Malaysian regulatory compliance?

Paperform makes it simple to create professional, compliant forms that match Malaysian regulatory requirements. With conditional logic, you can adapt the form based on entity type and deregistration reason. Collect all necessary supporting documents through secure file uploads, and use payment fields to handle SSM processing fees if required.

Connect your form to Stepper (stepper.io) to automate your deregistration workflow—route submissions to legal teams, trigger document preparation, send notifications to LHDN and other authorities, and maintain a complete audit trail. You can also integrate with Papersign (papersign.com) to collect required signatures from directors and authorised representatives on statutory declarations and board resolutions.

Built for law firms, corporate secretarial services, accounting firms handling foreign clients, and in-house legal teams managing Malaysian entities, this template helps you maintain compliance while reducing administrative burden during the wind-up process.
