Method & notes
SSM registrations show new legal entities entering the registry, not whether those entities later become active or survive.
METHOD & LIMITATIONSHow the numbers were calculated
PulseKita transcribes SSM's official monthly registration tables. 'Companies' combines local and foreign companies because SSM publishes the monthly total; businesses and LLPs remain separate categories.
- 2025 contains all 12 months; 2026 is partial through September in this V1 dataset.
- New registrations are flows, not the number of active entities operating in Malaysia.
- Business registrations cover sole proprietorships and partnerships; companies and LLPs are legally different entity types.
- The story preserves SSM's own monthly counts rather than estimating missing future months.
