Platform Registration Readiness (SC Recognized Markets)
Applying to operate a crowdfunding or token offering platform means convincing the SC that your governance, controls and people are ready before you launch. We build the compliance framework and documents your application relies on.
Overview
Platform Registration Readiness
What it is
A readiness engagement that prepares the compliance and operational framework for an application to operate a Recognized Market, covering the manuals, policies, controls and evidence the SC expects.
Why organisations need it
The Guidelines on Recognized Markets set detailed expectations on governance, management competency, investor protection and safeguarding, which the 2026 revision raised further. Applications that arrive with generic manuals are slow or unsuccessful. This is compliance readiness: legal advice on the application itself stays with your lawyers.

Why Orbix
Why organisations choose Orbix
A governance approach, not a tool sale
We do not resell products, so nothing here is shaped by a vendor margin. The recommendation is whatever your risk and your budget actually justify, including telling you that you do not need the engagement yet.
Recommendations you can actually implement
Findings come with a sequence, an owner and a realistic effort estimate, sized to the team you have rather than the team a framework assumes. A report that cannot be acted on is an expense, not a control.
Consultants who have sat on your side of the table
Our people have carried the obligation internally, not only audited it. That shows up in what we consider proportionate, and in how much documentation we think you genuinely need.
Built for the Malaysian operating context
Work is grounded in Malaysian law and regulator expectation, from the PDPA and the Cyber Security Act 2024 to Bursa, BNM and SC requirements, rather than translated from a European or American template.
HRD Corp expertise where it applies
Where an engagement includes training, the training component is structured to be HRD Corp SBL-Khas claimable, which changes what the programme costs you in practice.
Questions
Questions we get asked
Do you submit the application for us?
No. Your legal counsel handles the application. We prepare the compliance framework and evidence it relies on.
How long does readiness take?
Typically two to four months depending on the model and existing documents.
Does this cover token crowdfunding?
Yes. Token crowdfunding is an initial exchange offering under the SC Guidelines on Digital Assets, with its own requirements.
Can you stay on after registration?
Yes, through a compliance review, a retainer or an outsourced compliance officer.
Do you cover Shariah requirements?
No. That needs an SC-registered Shariah adviser.
