Thanks!! I entered the DBKL website and everything is in malay, do you know if there is the same page but in english? I've looked though the website but I can not find an english version. I don't speak malay so I don't understand the website. Thanks a lot.

Hi, I just responded to your other post. So will you be here permanet or going back to Peru with your husband when he moves again? As far as I know, you've gotta register your business but like I did mention earlier, which state are you residing at currently? Another option is you can sell on eBay. That's what my wife & I do as well. All you need is to have a credit card to register an a/c, taht's all. Selling on eBay Malaysia is free unless you wanna add on the different features. I have a home-based registered IT company. So like I said, maybe I could help you go about if I know which state you're in

Yup, KL - capital city. WP: Wilayah Persekutuan, which means Federal Territory. I thought KL is the most happening & a place with a lot of working opportunities? Well, have you considered eBay then? That's one area which in fact don't need any modal to start off. You can find the best quotation from a local courier & with a call they can just pick up your stuff. Normally there's no deposit to open an a/c as long as it's active they won't shut it down. Then you pay them the bill by the end of the month. Since you're not sure how long you'll be staying here. If you open a physical shop you need the spend on the renovation + monthly overhead cost. Well, just my humble opinion.
