Sdn bhd是什么意思

"SDN BHD" is a term used in Malaysia and Singapore to denote a private limited company that is incorporated and registered under the Companies Act 1965 (in Malaysia) or the Companies Act (in Singapore). The acronym "SDN BHD" stands for Sendirian Berhad, which is Malay and translates to "private limited" in English.

A company with the status of SDN BHD is a separate legal entity from its owners (the shareholders) and has its own rights and obligations. It can enter into contracts, own property, sue and be sued, and can continue its operations even if its shareholders change.

The term "Sendirian" means "private" and "Berhad" means "limited" in Malay. The word "Berhad" signifies that the company has limited liability, which means that the personal assets of the shareholders are protected, and their liability for the company's debts is limited to the amount of capital they have invested in the company.

In Malaysia, a company that wishes to use the suffix "SDN BHD" must have a minimum of one shareholder and one director, and it must register with the Companies Commission of Malaysia (SSM). In Singapore, the equivalent term is "Pte Ltd" (Private Limited), and the company must be registered with the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA).
