Thought you might be interested to know.
US$200000 and US$60000 capital requirement register a company
50% upon registration and 50% to bring in 1 year later.
No permits no start of business activity
lawyer required.
office address can use the local lawyer address for a token sum of $40 per month.

$200000 is for business who wants to set up manufacturing business
$60000 is for business who wish to offer service related businesses

the lawyer is accredited and known in Myanmar
Their charge is reasonable at $2000 and plus any other out of pocket charges to help you get started

but please be informed that you will expect to commence your business 6 to 7 months from date of registration. Is a long wait!!!
Thats is the reason why I put up this message for all to learn and be prepared.
Vast opportunity comes with quick decision, isn't it.

Let me know if you are interested, and I will get you the lawyer for a small fee of course...$5?

Good luck!!!

Hi,

I think it is a good time to invest in guest house or hotel business in Myanmar as the tourism is booming at the moment and Myanmar will be one of the hot destination in future.

If you would need any info pls let me know.

Regards,

Phyo

I have several questions.
Is that $60,000 for service type business required even if I just want to start a small representative office there?

Also, I've heard about the new investment law that will allow foreign company to solely own a business there? Is it out yet?

Is already out...
You see, if you intend to do business as a foreigner who owns the business, you got to have license
What type of license? property development, manufacturing? or service related?
Each license is a Monetary requirement
lets say you intend to do service business; you should prepare to bring in US$30000 to start off you business. It can be invested into your business there. The government just need to be sure the accountability
One year later, they want to see you have invested $30,000 into the business
(it can be into the business -for you to proof. It can be into the state bank- for you to show)

I hope you understand now.

Hi Mark,
I read from this site interactivemyanmar.com/myanmar-company-registration-step-by-step/ saying that for manufacturing business is US$500,000. Is there any discrepancy?

Would appreciate if you can share your lawyer friend's contact. Thanks.

many mistakes in your legal information - it shouldn't occur, I think you should ask competent organisations that made possible investments in Myanmar from 10 years already, I have registered 2 businesses and it wasn't like you said, if some people really want to set up business in Myanmar, eventually I can tell you which company registered businesses for me, but only private message to me, not in public forum as I have no business in sharing it to everyone

Hi Xer Lau,

This minimum requirement is for a manufacturing company registered through the MIC. The alternative, if applicable for your specific business, is to incorporate under the MCA. For the MCA the minimum investment amount required is 50,000USD, but only half of it has to be invested in the company upon the approval of your incorporation application.

Dear Terryjuly,

What is it you feel is wrong?
Please keep in mind that there are different requirements from foreigners and locals. You might be confusing the requirements for a foreigner from a local.
Please also keep in mind that the MFIL that just passed through lower parliament is still not in effect.

Kind Regards
Chris

Hi markyap!
You have told that $200000 is for business who wants to set up manufacturing business and $60000 is for business who wish to offer service related businesses. What's about for business related to selling product by import from other countries? How much capital will be required for set up this business?
I hope to hear from you soon.

Kind Regards
Sophal Om

I can't paste the YouTube link here for some reasons.
Search in YouTube for this video "Myanmar Company Incorporation - What you need to know"

Explains in layman language the options for registering a company in Myanmar and what are the JV considerations when looking for a business partner as well as the 5 key questions to ask yourself . Go to consult-myanmar (dot) com the producer of the video for more info - if you can't find the above video.

You need to be in Yangon for about 3 days for the initial registration. After that there is a 2 months wait for your company licence to be approved. There is no need for you to be physically presence after you have submitted your signed application.

hi,
I am considering of having a Representative Office in myanmar, do you have any idea of how much for the process? I've already contacted some but their fees are around US $1500- $1800, is there other cheaper service?
Thanks
