What you need: Applying Business License for Kajang area(MPKJ)

If you're squimpish (like my boss) to pay a runner to apply your license, here's MY guideline.. (for MPKJ area only) cos I can't find the most updated one online - and I ended up traveling thru and fro MPKj and Bomba Pandan Indah A FEW TIMES! *angry and so gonna claim my petrol and toll fee!! 

p/s Runner fee can cost from RM500 or more depending on your agent.. but you know cos they really do run around here and there to apply your business license!!

pp/s Don't ask me any other business license/hotel/restaurant etc though, cos I'm not expert so I don't know...

Business Category: SME in Shop Lot

First, this need time to prepare, so go get it BEFORE you go MPKj and Bomba:

Fire Extinguisher. And its copy of Cert aka Sticker with your Company name, address and expiry date (depends on your shop lot size, those contractors will advise you how many extinguisher you'll need) Apparently you must go thru a contractor to apply Fire Extinguisher cos Bomba no longer want to receive cash for individual applications...

Before going to MPKj, prepare:
 - 1x I/c picture of owner or applicant
- 1x photocopy I/c of owner or applicant (crossed MPKJ)
- 1x photocopy of SSM/Borang D, M&A or Form49.
- 1x photocopy Tenancy Agreement between premise owner and the Owner/Company Name for this business license (make sure it is Duty Stamped and it's visible in the photocopy version)
- 4x photocopy business premise's CF (Certification of Fitness)/Grant (ask from Landlord)
- 4x photocopy latest Assessment[Cukai Taksiran] (attached with proof of payment) MPKj divides its assessment to Jan-Jun / July-Dec... if you're applying on 1st July, make sure you/landlord have paid the July Assessment fee...
- 4x Signboard Visual (Color printed in A4 paper)
- 4x photocopy Business premise floor plan (Ask from Landlord)
- 4x photocopy Location of business premise (ask from landlord or use google maps to print)
- 4x Pictures of Front, 4x pictures of Back, 1x picture of Side(if applicable) & 2x pictures of Inside of Business Premise (COLORED)
- If the Business owner is not going to apply the license with you, prepare a Company Official Letter to appoint you as representative..

Luckily MPKj is "quite"updated with Information Technology.. I found a link for the form  MPKj/LESEN/PP-01 for you to print and prepare before you to and press that bloody number in Licensing Dept in MPKj and waittt... *roll eyes

Fill up the form with all the prepared documents and Sign and Company Chop.



Now go tp MPKj and press that button and waittttttt......zzzzzz....maybe prepare a takeaway coffee, charged up your smart phone or bring a powerbank and handsfree to catch that drama while waiting... lol

If all documents is good to go, the staff will give you a Bomba letter and ask you to go to Bomba Pandan Indah (yes... from Kajang now you go to Pandan Indah) to get a Chop (Bomba said they will randomly pick to go check your premise... )

Now BEFORE your Bomba trip; Prepare this:

1x photocopy Owner/Registrant IC Copy(crossed)
1x photocopy Borang SSM/Form 49 or whatever license you have
1x photocopy business premise's CF (Certification of Fitness)
1x photocopy Business Premise floor's plan
1x photocopy Google Map of Business Premise's Location
1x Front Shop Picture(Colored)
1x Back Shop Picture(Colored)
1x photocopy of the Fire Extinguisher Sticker

Now I have no idea where to get this form "Lampiran 8" Borang Pemohonan Sokongan Lesen Perniagaan cos it was only given to me there and then to fill, can't find it online... so bring your company chop as well.. I guess anyone can sign the form...

Since June 2018(written there) Applicant/representative also need queue to sit at the one and only computer there and fill up a google doc and submit to them..

This is where they want to see your Fire Extinguisher Cert...

Once everything ok, the officer will ask you to write your name at the "guest book" and CHOP your form(given by MPKJ) and you may leave... yay!

...... Now drive back to MPKj and submit again your stack of documents with this chop-ped Bomba form... MPKj closes for lunch 1-2pm and 12-2pm(Friday) so check your own time. If you submit near to 1pm, they will ask you to return after lunch hour to pay and collect the MPKj License.

So that's it!! I hope I didn't missed any important points!! Good Luck!!

Advise: find a reasonable Fire Extinguisher Contractor... Some can over charge.. Good luck  - squimpish Boss/Boss representative  =D
