The following are the types of business structures available for doing business in Myanmar:
A sole proprietorship is usually adopted by small businesses. It has less formal regulations and requires only one owner. The liability of the owner is unlimited towards the debts and liabilities of the business. Further, there is no minimum capital requirement.
This type of business structure is the most preferred business structure in Myanmar. This type of company is registered under the Myanmar Companies Act 2017. The Act distinguishes between a Myanmar company and a foreign company. A foreign company is one where an overseas corporation or a foreign entity owns and controls the ownership interest of more than 35%, either directly or indirectly.
In a public limited company, the shares are offered to the public for trading purposes. This type of business structure comprises at least 3 directors out of this one should be a citizen of Myanmar, ordinarily resident in Myanmar. Public limited companies are listed on the stock exchange and governed by the Securities Exchange of Yangon.
A branch office is easy to establish and allows foreign companies to directly get involved in the decision-making process of the branch office in Myanmar. A branch office does not enjoy a separate legal entity and the foreign company is responsible for the business’s liabilities in Myanmar. In Myanmar, a branch office can carry out revenue generation activities too. However, it has to do elaborate filings with the State Departments.
A representative office is similar to a branch office. It is an extension of its foreign entity and does not enjoy a separate legal entity. It is also not permitted to carry out business activities in Myanmar.
Partnerships are formed by agreement between the parties. It does have a legal personality of its own therefore, its partners are liable for the business activities of the partnership. In Myanmar, the partnerships are governed by the Partnership Act of 1932. The purpose of a partnership is to earn profits generated from the economic activities of a partnership.
Acquisition of shares means a foreign company acquiring the shares of Myanmar incorporated entity. There is a requirement to inform the DICA, if the acquisition crosses the mark of 35% of the total shares of the Myanmar company.
A subsidiary is a unit of a foreign company where the foreign company has 51-100% control or ownership. Most foreign companies prefer to set up their subsidiaries in the form of a private company limited by shares.
Joint Venture is also a preferred form of business in Myanmar. Foreign investors set up their businesses with local companies. A joint venture can comprise both incorporated as well as contractual entities.
Foreign companies can have access to the Myanmar market by entering into a contract with distributors or franchisees to sell their products in Myanmar. However, if a foreign company wants to enter into the trading business, it has to take approval from the Ministry of Commerce.
