The main categories are warehouses, detached factories, semi-detached (semi-D) factories, cluster factories, terrace factories, industrial land, showrooms, and car showrooms. Each has different structural specifications, zoning requirements, and typical use cases, from high-bay logistics warehouses to light-assembly terrace units.

Light manufacturing and logistics typically need 100–200 Amps (3-phase). Medium-to-heavy manufacturing may require 300–600 Amps or more. Always verify the incoming TNB supply at the meter against your machinery load; upgrading power supply post-tenancy requires a formal TNB application, a capital contribution, and lead times of 6–12 months.

Freehold land is owned permanently and commands a market premium, typically 20–35% above comparable leasehold units. Leasehold industrial land (60 or 99 years) is the norm in state-linked industrial parks and is both bankable and widely transacted in Malaysia. For buyers, check the remaining lease term: below 60 years, financing becomes more difficult.

Standard industrial tenancy in Malaysia requires 3 months' security deposit (refundable) plus 1 month's utility deposit (non-refundable), payable on signing. Budget for 4 months' gross rent in upfront cash before signing.

You'll need your business registered with SSM, a Business/Premise Licence from your local council (e.g. MBSA, MPK, or MPSJ depending on location), and a Fire Certificate from BOMBA. If you're doing manufacturing above RM 2.5M capital or 75 full-time staff, a MIDA Manufacturing Licence is required. Activities involving chemicals, discharge, or scheduled waste will bring in the DOE. Factories with heavy machinery fall under DOSH oversight. Sector-specific businesses (food, printing, pharmaceuticals) carry additional licences from MOH, MCMC, etc. For most straightforward warehousing or light industrial tenants in established parks, the practical starting point is three: SSM, local council premise licence, and BOMBA fire certificate — with everything else layered on based on your specific trade activity.
